Overview

As a son of Seattle Slew and a grandson of Secretariat, both Triple Crown winners, A.P. Indy was destined for racing glory. But he still had to go out and earn it. Overcoming physical ailments that would have stopped lesser athletes, A.P. Indy won the Belmont Stakes and Breeders' Cup Classic to become 1992's Horse of the Year. His influence continued to be unmatched after retiring from the track. Standing stud at his birthplace, Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, A.P. Indy sired progeny that became and produced some of the best racehorses on the planet. A.P. Indy details this extraordinary Thoroughbred's life and how he impacted an entire industry along the way. Author Lenny Shulman captures his personal connection to A.P. Indy as well as the stories of those who shaped A.P. Indy's incredible ride—including his trainer, owners, breeders, groom, and jockey—inviting readers into never-before-seen dynamics of the stall, track, and paddock. A.P. Indy is a generation-leading yearling, champion racehorse, and breed-shaping stallion whose heroic journey reveals how greatness is made.
