Indy - Louve Mysterieuse by Seeking the Gold Dosage Profile: 9-12-21-0-0 Dosage Index/CD: 3.00 0.71 2008 Record: 4 Starts: 0 - 1 - 0, $? Best Beyer Figure: ? Note: So far he is winless in 9 starts with total earnings of $12,618. He managed one 2nd place finish from four starts at age 2 and so far has one 3rd place finish in five trys this year. He is only being entered in an attempt to keep Rachel Alexandra out of the Preakness which has a maximum field of 14. Late Sunday night, co-owner Mark Allen reversed his decision and said they would not enter him, a decision likely influenced by all the negative comments made. When asked about the uproar caused by his strategy, Allen said, "I don't think we caused the uproar. I think that this filly being bought and them supplementing her into this race caused the uproar."
