Averly Jane Rockets to Indian Summer Win

[Wandering Eyes]

Hat Creek Racing Averly Jane (Midshipman-Sh Sh Shakin', by Richter Scale) powered home a much-the-best winner in Keeneland's Indian Summer S., a 'Win and You're in' race to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar Nov. 5. Undefeated in three prior starts for trainer Wesley Ward, including a commanding score in Saratoga's Skidmore S. Aug. 20, she was installed the 4-5 choice while facing boys for the first time while getting blinkers off here. To the front like a shot, she rolled through opening splits of :21.64 and :44.50. Turning on all boosters late, she crossed the wire a commanding four-length winner over stablemate Kaufymaker (Jimmy Creed). With the win, Averly Jane set a new stakes record of 1:02.65 for 5 1/2 furlongs.
