Saratoga – 8/25/06
Personal Ensign S. Grade 1
$392,000, 1 1/4 miles
Now in a 7 race winning streak, many have tried to catch FLEET INDIAN but have come seriously short when this filly just wins by miles. The depth of field was incredible in Fridays filly special at Saratoga, with the countrys top distaffers competing in a pre-Breeders Cup showdown. But even the likes of Balletto, Yolanda B Too and India Halo couldn’t catch the front running Fleet Indian. She dragged the field as if through molasses in a pace so slow it was a wonder they even broke a sweat. At the half mile Fleet Indian decided she’d had enough canter and Santos gave her her head and a short tap and she took off while the field floundered in her wake.
Congratulations once again for the Fleet Indian team of Todd Pletcher and owner Paul Saylor.
