7th-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $32,000, Msw, 9-26, 2yo, f, 1mT, 1:38.10, gd, 1 1/2 lengths.
INDIGO STUNNER (f, 2, Authentic–Blue Gallina, by Street Sense) became the 10th winner for her freshman sire (by Into Mischief) with a good-looking victory trying two turns for the first time. A promising third going a mile at Kentucky Downs Aug. 31, the $310,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga purchase argued the early pace and was eased back into third by Marcelino Pedroza, Jr. as they hit the backstretch. Traveling comfortably on the back of the leaders through the middle stages, the 9-10 chalk was asked for a kick in upper stretch, hit the front with about a furlong to race and inched clear. The winner is a half-sister to Flat Out Speed (Flat Out), GSW, $364,916, winner of the 2020 GIII Iowa Oaks; and she is also closely related to Can Group (Good Samaritan), GSW, $371,858, who took last year's GII Castle & Key Bourbon Stakes over the Keeneland turf course. Blue Gallina is also represented by a weanling Jack Christopher colt and was covered by Life Is Good this past breeding season. Sales history: $310,000 Ylg '23 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $36,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
