Ever wonder where those $725k yearlings end up?
Imperial Cup Card at Aiken! (DRF PP'S)
Hi Flyin Indy was a $725k Darley purchase in September '07. He ran in The Pampelmousse's Sham where he was 8th for Eoin Harty. Last seen in January of '10 losing to Bourbon Bay, he shows up for his 'chase debut as Danielle Hodsdon's first trainee (I believe her first) in a $15,000 jump MSW.
As a sidebar on this card, note that in the 1st, #3 Odi et Amo makes his debut as a 3yo. Take a good look at the dam listing, because I don't know how likely it is that you'll ever again see Arts and Letters (!) name listed as damsire. He had to be 29 (?) when the dam was foaled and the dam herself had to be 17 when she had this gelding.
