Didn't see this until I got off the air... Honest horse.

Welcome Back to the Bayou State! I first saw My Pal Charlie as runnerup in 2008 Louisiana Derby. He finished nicely behind Pyro. Later, I saw his career best race in Super Derby.
I agree that he should attract interest from Louisiana breeders.

Always enjoyed that horse. I hope he does well. Thanks Steve.
If anybody breeds a mare to him or ends up with a yearling at some point, I already have you a name. Cheer Up Charlie (from the Willy Wonka movie). The name always reminds of that song. Nobody's used it from what I can tell so unless there's a copyright thing, don't see why it wouldn't work.
