A.P. Indian Wins Impressively in Stakes Debut at Monmouth

10 May 2015

From the Monmouth Press Release:

 

   "The day’s feature saw A.P. Indian grab the lead soon after the gates opened.  Post-time favorite Favorite Tale tried the leader around the quarter pole, but saw that challenge rebuffed as A.P. Indian stepped away to a 2 ¾ length victory, stopping the timer in 1:09 2/5 for six furlongs over a fast main track.  The winner returned $6.40, $3.40 and $2.80 as the second-choice in the field of 10 colts and geldings.

            Favorite Tale completed the $18 exacta and paid $3 and $2.80.  It was another 3 ¾ lengths back to Saucy Don, who rallied to pay $8 to show.

            “He’s very versatile,” said winning trainer Arnaud Delacour.  “He can run long or short.  I knew he had that kind of speed, but the beauty about him is he can rate.  But his speed is his best weapon so we wanted to use it.”

            Winning rider Daniel Centeno said, “He broke a step slow but he was able to take the lead easy.  I’ve ridden him before and know he’s full of talent.  When we turned for home, that other horse (Favorite Tale) came up alongside him, but he rebroke and that was it.”

            A 5-year-old gelding by Indian Charlie out of the stakes winning mare Ender’s Sister, A.P. Indian was bred by his owner, Green Lantern Stables LLC.  He now sports a record of 4-4-0 from eight starts, good for earnings of $140,600."

           Couldn't have said it better myself...
