Where did you read this? I can't find any news on him.
Terrible though...loved IC offspring in the mud.

Had heard some rumors last week he wasn't doing good, but they were rumors & couldn't be confirmed.

I remember Indian Charlie as an over achiever as a race horse and an excellent sire. Sadden by this news. May his off spring fight on in his memory. :4: :9:

Darn, and I was hoping it was the creep that writes the slander rag. Wonder how much affect this will have on Uncle Mo's fees.

I'd be reluctant to breed to Uncle Mo what with his internal physical problems and then cancer (?) for Indian Charlie. My concern (probably over cautious) is that they might be related.

Congenital leg issues never stopped them breeding Unbridled's Song. But I would agree with you on a personal basis.
