Indian Charlie Euthanized cont. from p1 Indian Charlie was bred in California by Hal Earnhardt, and was the third foal produced by Earnhardt's graded stakes winner Soviet Sojourn. Turned over to trainer , Indian Charlie romped by 12 lengths over Cal-breds at Del Mar in his career opener, but didn't see action again until February. After a nine-length score in a state-bred allowance, the bay colt annexed an open NW1X in March 1998, then dismissed stablemate and Artax as the 9-5 choice in the GI Santa Anita Derby. His unbeaten record made him the favorite for the GI at Churchill Downs, but Indian Charlie was unable to resist Real Quiet under the Twin Spires, and wound up settling for third in what turned out to be his career finale. He retired to Airdrie Stud in 1999 with a bankroll numbering $616,120. Having stood his first season for $10,000, Indian Charlie had 15 winners when his initial crop hit the races in 2002. He was 10th on a freshman sire list that included Distorted Humor, Awesome Again, Elusive Quality and Tale of the Cat as the top four names. The best runner from his first crop turned out to be Grade I winner Pampered Princess, and his second featured champion $1,704,513-earner . A steady stream of solid performers followed, and , a Hal Earnhardt homebred, was tabbed as the nation's champion 2-year-old filly following her 2007 Breeders' Cup victory. She was also named champion female sprinter for 2008 before retiring with $2,995,420. The brilliant Uncle Mo became his sire's second Breeders' Cup winner with a comprehensive Juvenile triumph at Churchill in 2010, and Indian WINNING Charlie stood for $75,000 in 2011. He is also TRAINERS SINCE 1990 resonsible Canadian champion Indian Apple Is and Grade II winner Two Trail Sioux. 1990 Carl Nafzger To date, Indian Charlie has been represented by 1991 Ron McAnally 57 black-type winners.

THE FRENCH CONNECTION Desormais (War Front--Desert Princess {Ire}, by Desert King {Ire}), an impressive four-length maiden winner in France negotiating 1 1/4 miles in his third career start over Marseille Pont de Vivaux=s all-weather course Nov. 15, dives right into the deep end in Saturday=s loaded GI CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park. Purchased privately by Aron Wellman and Lee Midkiff=s Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, the blaze- faced bay had his passport stamped last Wednesday and has Aron Wellman quickly settled into his new digs eclipsetbpartners.com at Paddy Gallagher=s barn since clearing quarantine. Bred in Kentucky by Ponchartrain Stud, he was formerly campaigned by owner Maurice Lagasse and trainer Jacq Rossi. AHe=s an interesting colt,@ Wellman commented. AHe comes from a very obscure, relatively low-level track, without question. What really intrigued me about him was that he won going 1 1/4 miles in November of his 2-year-old year. It=s rare to see those races written, let alone see a colt win so impressively at that distance. I was impressed by his stamina and the amount of energy he displayed.@ The Los Angeles native continued, ASecondly, he did it around a very tight left-handed synthetic course from the 13 hole, no less. It=s a very American-style racecourse over there; I liked that he handled it so well. He switched leads right on cue every time, which is another unique thing for a European horse to do.@ It also didn=t hurt being by the very promising second- crop stallion War Front, already the sire of Grade I winners Summer Soiree and The Factor, Wellman reports. APersonally, I=m a big fan of his,@ the 34-year-old said of the Claiborne resident. AHe=s obviously gotten off to a great start at stud. If [Desormais] was by some obscure turf stallion from France, I would=ve probably been less inclined to buy him, but because he=s by a prominent young U.S.-based stallion who=s proven he can throw Grade I horses in this country on all surfaces, it certainly gave me that much more confidence to take a chance.@ P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 12/16/11 • PAGE 4 of 6 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

TDN Feature Presentation cont.

The stakes will be high for Desormais in his U.S. debut. Drawn widest of all in post 13 in tomorrow=s main event, he will be facing a very seasoned group, including GI Del Mar Futurity hero Drill (Lawyer Ron), GIII Hollywood Juvenile Championship S. winner and GI Dixiana Breeders' Futurity runner-up Majestic City (City Zip) and GIII Hollywood Prevue S. second-place finisher Brother Francis (Lion Heart). AHow he stacks up here remains to be seen,@ Wellman admitted. AClearly, going from the South of France at essentially a no-name racetrack in Marseille and beating maidens to running at Hollywood Park in a Grade I $750,000 race--it=s an understatement to say that we=ve provided him with an ambitious challenge. It=s a situation where we=ve got very little to lose and a whole lot to gain. One way or another, I=m not going to hold the result against him if he doesn=t fare favorably, because this is a long-term play.@ Wellman and Midkiff=s fledgling operation is quickly making a name for itself. Launched earlier this fall, Eclipse hit the ground running with one of its initial private acquisitions, subsequent GIII JP Morgan Chase Jessamine S. runner-up Sweet Cat (outside) battles on and GII Breeders= Cup gamely in the Juvenile Fillies Turf Juvenile Fillies Turf third- Horsephotos place finisher Sweet Cat (Kitten=s Joy). The racing partnership=s first winner Patrioticandproud (Proud Citizen) added black-type in his next start when third in Woodbine=s Display S. Nov. 27. Eclipse currently owns a half dozen juveniles, two yearlings and a weanling. AWith the exception of not winning the race, it worked out really well,@ Wellman reflected of Eclipse=s Breeders= Cup experience at Churchill Downs. ATo have a filly finish in the money in a Breeders= Cup race literally within two months of us launching the company was tremendous. It put us right where we want to be, which is competing for the best races that the world has to offer and showing up with the goods. Not just showing up to see our name in the program.@ He concluded, AIt=s certainly been a feather in our cap at this early stage of the company=s existence.@ If Eclipse=s private purchases keep running as good as they have so far, Wellman=s going to need to get himself a bigger cap. -Steve Sherack For more on Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, click here for a feature that ran in TDN’s Nov. 3 edition.

The colt, who was diagnosed with a respiratory problem by veterinarians, indicated that the condition is likely product of the climate change. AIt is a pity, but we cannot risk a horse of these conditions,@ said trainer Alfonso Arias. A winner of four of seven starts, Moreno was second last time in the Clasico Greek Prince at Monterrico Racecourse.

HRTV’s Conley On Hand for Pelligrini HRTV will offer live coverage of Saturday=s G1 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini at San Isidro Racecourse in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Post time is 5:40 p.m. Eastern, with coverage beginning approximately one hour before the race. Carolyn Conley has made the trip to Argentina to cover the race. AI=ll be sending back interviews and video to include in our daily programming,@ said Conley by phone from San Isidro. AYou=ll see it on Raceday America, as well as our other shows. It has been very eye-opening to be on site; to get to meet the trainers and learn about the racing here, but everyone is obviously very disappointed that Perfect Shirl (Perfect Soul {Ire}) wasn=t able to make the trip.@ Conley has conducted several interviews so far that fans can look forward to seeing on HRTV, including asegment with Julio Penna, who trains Es Richard (Arg) (Espaciado {Arg}). He is the cousin of Angel Penna Jr. AHis last race was at 3000 meters (15 furlongs), so he=s dropping back in distance,@ she said. AI also spoke to Ernesto Romero, the trainer of Star Runner (Arg) (Southern Halo). That=s the horse who won the Estrellas in June, but who has been laid off with a foot problem. Ernesto is an old-school trainer who is very good at bringing horses off a layoff. He worked in a minute flat the other day on the innermost dirt track, which was considered a very fast move. He really feels like he=s the class of the field.@
