It is a well-known fact that progeny of our two-time champion sire prefer softer footing but the way in which INDIAN SOLDIER drew away from the field at Munich today impressed even us. The stewards noted ninenteen lengths for the four-year-old by SOLDIER HOLLOW, not even accounting for a slow break. The race? A level 2 handicap over 2200m. Onboard the Schlenderhan-bred was Tommaso Scardino for trainer Marco Klein, who improved INDIAN SOLDIER from maiden class to the upper handicap category within one season. After all, this was the fifth annual win for the colt. |
