I always thought the horse came before the writer.

Current writer is not the original Indian Charlie but took over the mantle and name to continue the tradition of 'afflicting the comfortable' and writing what others are too politic to say out loud. This horse is not even the original Indian Charlie; there was a 1962 colt by Indian Hemp named Indian Charlie but he never raced.

I really enjoy how he picks who is not going to win a race. Brilliant.
