Indian Charlie Yearling Sells for $245,000

A striking Indian Charlie yearling filly became the most expensive horse sold so far during the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale in Lexington when she commanded $245,000 during the auction's second hour Feb. 7. Bloodstock agent and Select Sales partner Tom Ryan signed the sale ticket for SF Bloodstock, which has been active recently in the broodmare market.

The dark bay or brown yearling is out of the winning Matchlite mare Lady’s Legacy, who finished second in the 1996 Regret Stakes at Ladbroke DRC. The filly is a half sister to Shameful (by Flying Chevron), who captured the 2003 Pine Tree Lane Stakes at Santa Anita Park, and Little Matth Man (by Matty G), who won the 2004 Whirlaway Stakes at Aqueduct and finished second in the 2004 Lane’s End Stakes (gr. II) at Turfway Park.
