By Glenye Cain Oakford
LEXINGTON, Ky. - A $245,000 Indian Charlie filly who is closely related to two-time champion Indian Blessing topped Fasig-Tipton Kentucky's winter mixed sale here. SF Bloodstock purchased the dark bay or brown yearling from the Gainesway agency. The filly is out of the stakes-placed Matchlite mare Lady's Legacy, the second dam of Indian Blessing. Indian Blessing, also by Indian Charlie, was 2007's champion juvenile filly and 2008's champion female sprinter. The session-leading filly sold as Hip No. 76.
