Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 16, 2020 Journalists Share Posted February 16, 2020 by Andrea Branchini There is quite a Native American connection in the names of the family line of Oaklawn allowance winner FIRECROW. His dam is the artistically named CHEYENNE AUTUMN (by Indian Charlie), resonant of the 1964 very “pro-Indians” John Ford western, defined as “an elegy for the Native Americans”. The late Joseph Fire Crow (sometimes spelled as Firecrow or FireCrow) was a famous and talented Cheyenne musician, nominated for a Grammy in 2001 for his album “Cheyenne Nation”. 8th-Oaklawn, $88,000, 2-14, (NW3L), 3yo/up, 6f, 1:10.62, ft.
