Back From Korea, Take Charge Indy Settles in Again at WinStar

After covering mares for three years, Take Charge Indy was exported to Korea, where he spent an additional three years, But his first American crops were of such quality that his syndicate exercised an option to bring him back. We talked to WinStar's Sean Tugel about the sire.

The son of A.P. Indy is back at WinStar Farm after spending three years in Korea. The syndicate that owned him made the decision to sell him before any of his offspring had made it to the races, accepting an offer from the Korean Racing Authority.

“Selling Take Charge Indy was one of the toughest decisions I've had to make in my time as a syndicate manager, but, ultimately, we have to blend the passion we have for our horses with business principles for our shareholders,” WinStar President & CEO Elliott Walden said at the time. “Sometimes, difficult decisions like this arise for that philosophy. The KRA has had strong interest in the horse, and they simply made an offer that was too good to turn down.”
