Ete Indien

Ete Indien won a five-furlong turf sprint in his career debut Sept. 13, 2019, at Gulfstream Park. He was never a factor in his second start, however, while eighth in the Grade 3 Dixiana Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland. Switched to the main track for his third start, the dark bay or brown Summer Front colt pressed the pace and stormed to a 2 1/2-length allowance win Dec. 20 back at Gulfstream.

Ete Indien returned to graded stakes competition for his 3-year-old bow in the 1 1/16-mile Holy Bull Stakes. He led into the final turn but could not match strides with winner Tiz the Law in the stretch and settled for a determined runner-up finish.

Making his next start in the Grade 2 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes Feb. 29 at Gulfstream, Ete Indien opened a clear early lead and powered to an 8 1/2-length runaway victory to earn 50 qualifying points for the 2020 Kentucky Dreby Presented by Wodford Reserve. He followed with a third-place finish in the Grade 1 Curlin Florida Derby March 28 at Gulfstream and then a fourth-place finish in a June 10 allowance race at Gulfstream in which Sam F. Davis Stakes winner and stablemate Sole Volante finished first and Florida Derby runner-up Shivaree finished third.

Ete Indien is out of the Mizzen Mast mare East India, a half-sister to a pair of stakes winners.
