Half Sister to Mitole, Hot Rod Charlie Graduates in Career Debut at Horseshoe Indianapolis

[Wandering Eyes]

2nd-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $32,000, Msw, 10-1, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:05.85, ft, 4 3/4 lengths.
HOLLEN DRIVE (f, 2, Practical Joke–Indian Miss {Broodmare Of The Year}, by Indian Charlie), installed the 4-5 favorite, rushed to the front from post 5, but allowed Street Twirl (Street Boss) to lead the affair through a :23.17 quarter. Inching ahead turning for home, Hollen Drive ran clear, and despite Legit Chick's (Authentic) best effort late, it was the favorite who proved best on the day, winning by 4 3/4 lengths. Legit Chick was well clear of Tap Now (Tapit). 8-5 second choice Leslie's Time (Not This Time) was last of five. Out of stakes winner Glacken's Gal, Indian Miss struck early with her sprint champion son Mitole (Eskendereya, Ch. Male Sprinter, MGISW, $3,104,910), victorious in four Grade Is in 2019, including the 2019 GI Breeders' Cup Sprint. The daughter of Indian Charlie duly followed up with GI Haskell and GI Pennsylvania Derby scorer Hot Rod Charlie (Oxbow, GISW-USA, GSW & G1SP-UAE, $5,976,720), who also hit the board in the Kentucky Derby, Belmont, Whitney and Dubai World Cup. Sent through the ring at Keeneland November in 2020, Indian Miss brought $1.9 million–in foal to Mischief–from OXO Equine, the breeder of Hollen Drive. Subsequently named Broodmare of the year in 2021, the half-sister to GSW Live Lively (Medaglia d'Oro) produced a colt by Instilled Regard in 2024 and was bred back to that stallion this season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $19,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
