Indian Charlie was a radiant shooting star, a brilliant winner in class 1, whose speed called for a physical tribute and prevented him from making more than five career. However, the son of the equally brilliant surplus has a significant influence on the thoroughbrasse, as his presence in the father lines or as a broodmare of 15 of this year's Tarters' Cup World Championships Starers.
In addition to the depth of representation, the descendants of the breeder of the Indian Charlie illustrate the reach of Longines Breeder's' Cup Classic (G1) competitors Airline And Sizzling Rod Charlie to the breeding cup of teenage people (G1T) participants Mo Stash And Curly Larry and Mo .

Flightline was bred by Jane Lyon's Sommer Windpark and is driven by Partners Hronis Racing, Siena Farm, Summer Wind Equine, West Point -F.vollut and Woodford Racing with coach John Sadler.
Bret Jones with Airdie Stud, who stood Indian Charlie from 2003 to 2011, said that the similarity between the two horses was undeniable.
“Every time I see a picture of flightline, I see a lot of Indian Charlie in this conformation with this long, stretchy, beautifully kept horse with this attractive head and neck. He reminds me safely of his grandfather,” he said.

The Indian Charlie has revived Caro Sire Line single-handedly, who is from Nasrullah due to the English classic-stakes winner Gray. The way to this revival began with Soviet Solourn, a daughter of Leo Castelli, which Earnhardt bought as a yearling for $ 14,000 in the autumn sale of Double D full blood farms from Arizona Breeder Association from 1990.
Earnhardt sent the stut foal to Baffert after taking third place in her debut. Baffert won his first start with her in Hollywood Park and two starts later won the Junior Miss Stakes (G3) and Sorrento Stakes (G3) sea. She finished second in the DEL Mar-debutant Stakes (G2) and Oak Leaf Stakes (G2) and third in the Hollywood Starlet Stakes (G1).
“I just started and Soviet Sojourn was probably my first good thoroughbred,” said Baffert. “She had some problems and originally the Soviet stay was sent to Kentucky to be bred, but at the time there was another very brisk horse that would be in California.”
In the surplus was a son of Sibirian Express, who won four first class 1 missions in 1991 – the Woodward Stakes (G1), Whitney Handicap (G1), Suburban Handicap (G1) and Metropolitan Handicap (G1). The Colt set a 1: 58.33 track record of 1: 58.33 in the suburb and was retired with $ 1,736,733.
Owner Mike Pegram, a friend and customer of Baffert, arranged that in Bonsall, California, in the overdue Frank “Scoop” Vessels IIis Farm III.
“We have the Indian Charlie, who was the most attractive yearling, and it came to shoot in the excess,” said Baffert. “Everything we bred was really able to run and we cleaned up in the CAL-bred races.”
After the Indian Charlie won his first three races for Earnhardt and John R. Gaines with a total length of 23 1/2, he conquered the Santa Anita Derby from 1998 with 2 1/4 lengths over the later Kentucky Derby winner Real Serene. Its time of 1:47 was the fastest run of the race since Sham met in 1973. The Indian Charlie began as the favorite in the Kentucky Derby and ended a good third behind Real Still and Victory Gallop (who this year the triple crown in the Belmont Stakes (G1) Real denominated). Baffert released Indian Charlie a little and aimed at return to Haskell Invitational Handicap (G1), but a suspenders forced the Colt's resignation from racing.
Fleet Indian The missions rated this year won (two in the 1S) and was appointed master older mare. The following year, Indian blessing (Bred by Earnhardt and trained by Baffert) was appointed 2-year Stut foal for the champion and received in 2008 as a female sprinter of the champion. For his career, the Indian Charlie 83 showed the winner of the winner (8% of the Foals of Racing Age mentioned), including 29 Graden/group winners and eight masters. His tuition would boost to 75,000 US dollars and its sales average by 2009 to more than 136,000 US dollars.

As a brutare father, he was represented by 15 staks producing daughters, whose descendants have earned more than $ 31 million. He was represented from all his daughters by 93 Schwarz types, including 31 rated/group winners and six masters. From November 1st, Sizzling Rod Charlie is the leading earner of Indian Charlie as a breeding brand with 5,556,720 US dollars for lifelong income.
The Indian Charlie would die too early with 16. He was put to sleep on December 15, 2011 after he had lost a fight against cancer.
“When we lost 'Charlie', we had collected so many Indian Charlie mares that we could. In retrospect, not enough of them,” said Jones. “From the breeding male's point of view, there is a great brilliance story at this end. While a few six after a brood marker who was beautifully bred -and nobody would argue about it -I really love to see a broodmare father who was a brilliant race horse.
“Indian Charlie is a horse that deserves to be remembered and his daughters, sons and grandchildren have been remembered for generations,” he said.
