Shakertown Stakes, Grade 3, $125,000, 5 ½ f, Turf
Indian Charlie’s progressive colt Mr. Nightlinger was on the gas from the gate, the son of Indian Charlie carved out fast early splits of :21.90, :45.57 and :57.42. They were lining up to behind him to challenge at the head of the stretch, but Mr. Nightlinger found another gear and won with complete authority, going away at the wire. Ultra-Impressive on Dirt, Polytrack and now the Turf, Mr. Nightliner embodies both the speed and versatility that have become calling cards of both the son’s and daughters if Indian Charlie. Congratulations to all the connections, and best of luck with the upcoming campaign of this highly talented colt!
