Travers Stakes Day

The Final Indian Charlie

Of The Saratoga Season


    With the upcoming Labor Day blizzard given a 95% possibility, Injun Chuck is gonna load up the Hee Haw mobile and get out of town.
    With the September Keeneland Yearling Sale coming up, Injun Chuck needs to get home and make some new arrows.
    Plus we heard that Mary Lou Whitney's husband is lookin' for Injun Chuck and that he is one mad son-of-a-gun.
    We also heard that ex-Calder gyp, Frank Youknowwho, has had about all he can stand of this publication.
    Well, we've got just two words to say to Frank Youknowwho:

Quack Quack!

   
    For those of you who won't be going to the Keeneland September Sale we hope you can continue to read Indian Charlie via our web site at: www.indiancharlie.com.
    Our next edition will be in two weeks on Sunday, September 12th.
    Until then, be humble and don't stumble.

Pretty Tough

Allowance Race


    Fifty-three weeks ago today a 2-year-old allowance race for non-winners of two races produced three Travers Stakes starters.

    The race was going 7 furlongs and it was Menifee by three lengths over Cat Thief, with Lemon Drop Kid third.
    But don't let that race mess up your thinkin'.
    Remember the Travers Stakes ain't' seven furlongs.

He Didn't Do It


The top ten reasons why Pat Byrne is completely innocent.

1.  Dr. Fox had just come back from Istanbul Turkey, where                  his brain got scrambled in the savage earthquake.

2.  Pat Byrne's assistant trainer and shedrow foremen are all hooked on Lasix and spend 16-hours a day in the bathroom.

3.  There was a flood and the water got so high Pat Byrne's cell phone wouldn't even work.

4.  Nani Rose got a shot of vitamin C so she wouldn't get ricketts.

5.  The vet didn't notice that Nani Rose was the only horse in the barn with a fan, no hayrack and a muzzle on.

6.  Pat Byrne thought that Steve Diamond's day off was Wednesday.

7.  Pat Byrne thought that Dr. Fox was an equine psychiatrist and was in Nani Rose's stall purely to give her a prerace pep talk.

8.  Pat Byrne's barn was so dusty from the drought that you could not distinguish one horse from another.

9.  Global warming was causing Nani Rose's body temperature to fluctuate between 103
° and 106°.

10.  Pat Byrne thought Kenny Noe was as ignorant about

Mad As Hell


    D. Wayne Lukas blew up at this publication because we wrote a story stating he had not drawn a sober breath since his induction to the Hall of Fame.

    "I've never taken a drink in my life", Lukas cried.
    Boy, that's nice.  How in the world would we make any kind of good story out of that?

Rene Araya
Wins One!

    South America's version of Shug McGaughey, Rene Araya, won the 8th race on Thursday's card at Saratoga for his first win of the meet.
    After the winners circle presentation, we asked Rene Araya, what were his thoughts.
    To that he replied, "That ex-Calder gyp, Frank Youknowwho sure is a bad-ass horse trainer."

Warning!


    If any trainer on the grounds at Saratoga works their horses this morning on the INSIDE of the dogs, they've got an ass-whippin' comin' from Scotty Schulhofer.
    That means you Possum Head!

  Unbridled Song Never Snuck Up on Anybody


  As a yearling Unbridled Song stood out in a crowd.
  As a 2-year-old in training he sold for $1.4 million.
  When he broke his maiden at Saratoga the only people that knew he could run were the blacks and the whites.
  He beat every good horse around at 3 and his race in the Kentucky Derby wearing egg-bar shoes (in front) is still one of the best efforts ever put forth in that demanding race.
  And now Unbridled Song is a sire and was the #1 freshman sire at the recent Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Yearling Sale.
  Unbridled Song's first-crop yearlings averaged $355,000 a copy at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga.
  Look for sons and daughters of Unbridled Song at the upcoming Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
  There just ain't no way they won't be fast critters!

The Ides Of September

  It ain't gonna be long before the first-crop of Ide (Forty Niner - Maytide) will be showing up at Keeneland in September.
  There ain't no way Ide is not gonna throw top class runners.
  The Forty Niner influence in new stallions has been nothing short of sensational in recent years.
  And let's not forget that Ide was a very good race horse.
  As a 2-year-old Ide was weighted at 121 pounds on the Experimental Free Handicap.
  Ide won 7 consecutive races and 5 were stakes races, 4 of those were graded stakes races.
  Ide won the Fort Springs Stakes and 4 grade stakes: the Iroquois, the Rebel, the Southwest, and the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes.
  Ide ran the fastest 8 ½ furlongs ever by a 2-year-old at Churchill Downs.
  This here is Injun Chuck talkin' to ya.  If Ide was you, Ide be

  Did You See That!


  Did anyone notice the powerful performance by Bourbon Belle in last Sunday's Grade One, Ballerina?
  Bourbon Belle opened a clear lead on a number of the best and fastest fillies and mares in the country.  At the quarter pole she opened up on her opposition like they were drunk.
  In the end she fell just a nose short of Ogden Phipps', Furlough who came from dead last to win.
  Did you know that Vinery will sell a FULL-BROTHER to Bourbon Belle at Keeneland in September?
  Look him up.  He is Hip #1381 and sells on Thursday September 16th.
