Kindle, ridden by Edwin Maldonado, scores a gate-to-wire victory in the Cool Air Stakes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Kindle, a 4-year-old filly by Indian Charlie, won her second stakes in three starts in Friday’s $66,950 Cool Air Stakes for female turf sprinters.

Ridden by Edwin Maldonado, Kindle ($5.40) led throughout the six-furlong race, winning by 2 3/4 lengths over Broken Dreams. Schiaparelli was third in the field of five.

Kindle was timed in 1:08.38. Owned by HnR Nothhaft Horse Racing and trained by Gary Mandella, Kindle has won 4 of 8 starts and $143,370. Kindle won the Bangles and Beads Stakes at Fairplex Park in September and was second to Broken Dreams in the Grade 3 Sen. Ken Maddy Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 20.

Maldonado was unseated from his mount on the backstretch of the following race and taken to a local hospital for precautionary tests. His mount, True Again, was euthanized after suffering a knee injury, according to track stewards.

Maldonado was released in late afternoon.

In the same race, jockey Alonso Quinonez escaped injury after he was unseated from a stricken Warren’s Rocky in the stretch. Quinonez walked off. Warren’s Rocky was euthanized.

The Kindle Fire is great! I'm absolutely in LOVE with this thing! It is very user friendly so I didn't have to go searching the internet for tutorials. Here's the one I got on Amazon http://amzn.to/QdkqCN. If you're looking to get a tablet I'd recommend the Kindle Fire over the other tablets, it really blows them away. :)
