Competing mainly in stakes company, Kindle won 4 placed 4 third once and only missed the board twice. Kindle won two stakes races and finished 2nd twice Gr2, 3rd one Gr2, and 2nd once Gr3. Kindle achieved an E# of 108 and a Beyer of #100. Kindle won on dirt, Tapeta and turf. Kindle came as close to winning a graded stakes as possible without actually achieving the milestone.
