Gotta Love Indian Charlie

Who is this guy?

Why thank you!

We are two different people entirely however.

The Indian Charlie the first post referred to is a racing writer/commentator in Kentucky.

Indian Charlie the horse was named after Indian Charlie the writer. Baffert was a big fan of his and promised he'd name a good horse after him.

My user name here is because I was a lunatic fan of Indian Charlie the horse. At the time of his debut, I thought he might be one of the most talented horses I'd ever seen and managed to get a future bet on him in August of his two year old year, at 150/1.

Which is probably how he got hurt in the derby.

We both do seem to be somewhat sarcastic and share a belief that many people in racing are retarded.
