Indian Maid (foaled 1956 in Florida) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won three consecutive editions of the Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs.
[1] Indian Maid was a bay mare bred in Florida by Elmer Heubeck Jr. During her racing career she was owned by pioneering female trainer Mary Keim of Evanston, Illinois.
[2] As a two-year-old Indian Maid's 1958 wins included the inaugural running of the Florida Breeders' Futurity at Sunshine Park.
In 1960, the four-year-old mare had her best year, winning four important stakes and finishing second to Royal Native in the balloting for American Champion Older Female Horse honors.
Even with those weight disadvantages, the June 3rd issue of the Chicago Daily Tribune still pointed out that Indian Maid "only too often, has frightened away potential challengers in major races."
