Blood Horse Magazine said that A.P. Indy was ranked #101 on their list of top 100 horses of the last century. He just missed the list.
He was a great race horse and sire and an incredible gift to racing. I am sad to hear that the sire of such horses as Bernardini, Mineshaft and Rags to Riches is no longer going to be passing along his talent.
But he certainly left his mark on the breed and racing is better off for his being foaled. I hope this champion enjoys his retirement - I can't think of another horse living who deserves it more.
