Breaking News! Indian Blessing Takes a Pass on the Breeders Cup


Here is a 2008 photo by Terence Dulay of the lovely Indian Blessing. She's a 4 year-old filly who has 10 wins and 5 places from 16 starts. Bob Baffert, her trainer, just announced that she would not run in this year's Breeders Cup because she doesn't like the Pro-Ride track at Santa Anita. The surface feels weird to her! So, she's likely to retire without any further races in order to be bred and become a mama next Spring. She'll have to settle with her $3 million in earnings! Go girl!
