Summary:

"Well before A.P. Indy was foaled in 1989 at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, his potential for horseracing greatness was meticulously calculated by William Stamps Farish. With Triple Crown winners SeaKle Slew and Secretariat among his pedigree, A.P. Indy was the highest-priced yearling of his generation. He quickly justified his lofty sale price by winning the Belmont Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Classic as well as being named Horse of the Year in 1992. After his retirement from the track, A.P. Indy's influence in the Thoroughbred world continued to be unmatched. He remains one of the world's leading broodmare sires, with his progeny becoming, and producing, some of the best racehorses on the planet. Lenny Shulman is an award-winning turf writer whose admiration for his favorite horse soars off the page. A.P. Indy is an equine biography that follows the extraordinary animal's journey from yearling to colt to stud, revealing how his life impacted an industry and its people along the way. The author has a personal connection to A.P. Indy as well as his trainer, owner, and jockey which he captures in the text, inviting readers into never-before-seen dynamics of the stall, track, and paddock. Archival photographs illustrate the impact of this incredible Thoroughbred. A.P. Indy is a hero of the racing world-a generation-leading yearling, a champion racehorse, and a breed-shaping stallion-whose journey is worthy of documentation and celebration. In A.P. Indy, Shulman invites readers behind the scenes of an oftenexclusive industry, revealing how greatness is made. Lenny Shulman is the author of Head to Head: Conversations with a Generation of Horse Racing Legends (UPK), Justify: 111 Days to Triple Crown Glory (Triumph), and Ride of Their Lives (Eclipse).
