Another Lindy goes out a winner

Another Lindy closed out a storybook career in storybook fashion, going out a winner in his final start on Sunday at Scarborough Downs. The 14-year-old veteran, who faces mandatory retirement at the conclusion of the 2009 season, posted one of his strongest years, winning nine races. The final career tally for the classy campaigner: 63 wins from 137 lifetime starts, earnings of $314,295, and a mark of 1:56f, taken at age 11.

 

Another Lindy is owned and trained by Richard Bartlett of Windsor, Maine, and was driven to his final victory by Leigh Fitch. The son of Valley Victory was bred by Lindy Farms of Connecticut. In 2004 he made 15 starts in Europe before returning to the U.S.
