Check out my Tuesday (9-16-25) Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 analysis below.

IND 8 (Alw-1x, F&M, One mile turf) – Post Time  5:47 PM ET
Primary – #8 YES INDEED, #2 Sea Runner
Secondary – #5 Royal Justice, #6 Majestic Drive

Horse Comments: 

#8 Yes Indeed (4-1) ran into subsequent stakes winner Classic Q when finishing third in a flat mile turf race at Churchill on April 30 and that was her first start in ten months. She stumbled at the start and rallied mildly to finish an even fourth as the beaten favorite on July 14 and is fast enough to compete with these. Adam Beschizza is 2-for-4 with Cherie DeVaux. 

#2 Sea Runner (2-1) underachieved in California and is now under the care of William Morey. She won a flat mile MSW turf race at Del Mar last fall and failed to crack the top three in six subsequent starts. The sophomore filly fired Turfway bullets for this on Aug. 26, Sept. 2, and Sept. 9. 

#5 Royal Justice (10-1) competed on turf once and she romped in that local state bred stakes race at this trip. The 3-year-old Cloud Computing filly faded in a dirt route stakes race when last seen on July 30. She is back on turf and Samuel Bermudez wins races with this barn and he is 2-for-2 with this filly. 

#6 Majestic Drive (12-1) finished an okay third from an outer post in a local allowance turf route Aug. 26. Brendan Walsh is enjoying a productive meet and she might show a bit more in her second start after a short layoff.
