Indian Summer Is Insurmountable in Indian Summer
It isn’t common for a horse to be entered into a stake that shares its name, and a lot less common for said horse to actually win the race. In the Indian Summer, we had a good chance of that happening, as the horse Indian Summer seemed to be the one to beat, and would be the post time favorite.
