Five years ago at the Breeders' Cup, Fleet Indian was trying to ice Older Female Champion with a win in the Distaff. She had already won the Delaware Handicap, Personal Ensign and Beldame in succession. However, she was eased in the stretch as Round Pond won the race. It turned out that it didn't matter since her win over the BC winner was more then enough to get the Older Female Champion. The NY Bred by Indian Charlie passed away Saturday of colic at the age of 10. According to the Breeders' Cup website she saw Distorted Humor this year, however was not in foal.
Here is the race that I think put her on the map, the Obeah which would be the start of trainer Todd Pletcher's domince of this race winning 2 out of 3 runnings after she won the 2006 edition.
RIP Girl
