Indian Darling Finished For Y12

[*Ripley*]

<sup>Witch Creek's filly Indian Darling, by Native Flame and out of Strike The Win, has completed her season as a two year old. Her last race as a two year old was in the April Week One race in the Magic Millions Fillies Dirt where she finished third. Darla was found to be off in her right hind leg where a bone chip was discovered, along with some wear and tear in the tendon. Indian Darling will undergo surgery to remove the bone chip and would not be able to start training for 90 days. Because there is also a tendon injury involved, the Native Flame filly's Y12 racing career is over. She will return next January. Her record for the year is 7-1-3-1.

With Regret,

^{Hailey Levine: I... and, I think I find myself speaking for our whole stable know exactly how it feels Ripley for one of our horses to become injured. We really hope to see her next year.}

Amber Black says: That's so unfortunate! I was looking forward to seeing her challenge the other juvenile dirt horses again. But I suppose we'll have to wait and see just how fast she becomes next year.

Ripley Marsh: Yes it is quite depressing for Witch Creek. For myself, it is very saddening that Darla will not be competing the rest of the year. Indian Darling is my pride and joy, my favorite race horse. I believe that she will be better off this way, following a similar pattern to El Sol del Mar. Few results as a two year old with a big run as a three year old. As a Native Flame filly, time will be on her side and I am absolutely confident that she will be a much better three year old than two year old.

Your condolences are very appreciated.
