Indian Ridge failed to reproduce his Royal Ascot form in three subsequent races that year. Ridden by Cash Asmussen, he took the lead from the start and was never headed, staying on well in the closing stages to win by one and a half lengths from Salse, with three lengths back to Hibernian Gold in third. The Henry Cecil-trained Salse (winner of the Somerville Tattersall Stakes) started favourite ahead of Rawnak ( King Charles II Stakes) and Intimidate (third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas) with Indian Ridge the 10/1 fourth choice in a twelve-runner field. At the end of the season the independent Timeform organisation gave him a rating of 93, 34 pounds behind their best two-year-old Warning 1988: three-year-old season Īfter missing the early part of 1988, Indian Ridge made his debut as a three-year-old in the Group Three Jersey Stakes over seven furlongs at Royal Ascot on 15 June. In both of his wins he took the lead early and led for most of the way. He recorded his first success in a minor six-furlong race at Goodwood Racecourse on 29 September and followed up with another win at Leicester three weeks later. Indian Ridge finished second in a five furlong maiden race and then finished second in a similar event over six furlongs. She was descended from the broodmare Irish Candy, a half-sister to the Irish Derby winner Fraise du Bois. She was disappointing in the following season and was sold at auction for 3,300 guineas in December 1978.
Indian Ridge's dam Hillbrow showed good form as a two-year-old in 1977 when she won twice from six starts and was rated 100 by Timeform. By the time of Indian Ridge's racing career the Byerley Turk line, once one of the most important in the Thoroughbred breed, had dwindled in significance, with Ahonoora and his male descendants being regarded as by far its best chance of survival. Ahonoora was a representative of the Byerley Turk sire line, unlike more than 95% of modern thoroughbreds, who descend directly from the Darley Arabian. He was sired by Ahonoora a sprinter, whose other offspring included Dr Devious, Park Appeal, Don't Forget Me and Park Express. He was sent into training with David Elsworth at Whitsbury in Hampshire. As a yearling he was put up for auction and sold for 12,000 Irish guineas, entering the ownership of Anne Coughlan. Indian Ridge was a chestnut horse with a narrow white blaze bred at the Broadfield Stud in County Kildare, Ireland by Bill and Averil Whitehead. Indian Ridge and his male offspring have been described as having probably the best chance of maintaining the Byerley Turk sire-line. He reached his peak when dropped to sprint distances in the spring and early summer of 1989, winning the Duke of York Stakes before taking the King's Stand Stakes on his penultimate appearance.Īfter his retirement from racing he was retired to stud and became a very successful breeding stallion. He established himself as a high-class performer by winning the Jersey Stakes on his three-year-old debut but was well beaten in his three remaining race that year. He showed promising but unexceptional form as a two-year-old in 1987 when he won twice from four starts in minor races.
Indian Ridge will sadly remain on hold indefinitely - a sad reminder of this period in time as tourists drive by on Highway 76 to Branson's shows.Indian Ridge (22 March 1985 – 17 October 2006) was an Irish-bred British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. The recall would end the development, but create problems for the county, which would then be responsible for the infrastructure's completion.ĭevelopers have to wait, under federal regulations, until the FDIC can send some funds, or they may send the note to auction. County Commissioners don't want to recall the bonds the county holds for the project. This leaves Stone County with a big headache. Some condominiums have been constructed, with others started after alot of earth-work for projected roads, etc, but it all sits silent now.

Original plans called for a Resort Hotel High-tech Convention Center Extra large indoor water park, plus outdoor water park Championship Golf Course Condos, single-family lots Themed Retail Shopping Mall Restaurants. Indian Ridge was to be a huge project covering over 1,000 acres, with a projected $1.6 billion budget. The Columbian Bank, which financed most of the Indian Ridge Development adjacent to Branson West, was put into receivership by the FDIC last August. It seems even the Ozarks are not immune to trickle- down economic effects.
