True Blue Lindy is one of the sophomore pacing colts that loom as a serious contender for the 2022 Pepsi North America Cup, and three-year-old made his first appearance of the season in qualifying action on Saturday (April 16).
During the session carded at Harrah's Hoosier Park, True Blue Lindy was out for his first charted mile since the 2021 Breeders Crown Final at the end of October. Trace Tetrick settled the sophomore into fourth in his group as older pacer Granite (Kyle Wilfong) fronted the field through relatively pedestrian panels of :29, :58.3 and 1:27.4. Turning for home and into the long Hoosier Park homestretch, Tetrick gave True Blue Lindy clear sailing and the stakes winner responded. Pacing home in :26.1, True Blue Lindy just got up to edge out Granite in a 1:54.4 mile.
True Blue Lindy's mile was the first dash in the session, with full video available below.
