1992 Belmont Stakes - A.P. Indy

[@theearl1477]

What a horse! Charlse said it best. Always look for the horse who keeps their head down. Second fastest time ever with another great horse Easy Goer. RIP champ.

I have him in my Top 10 horses of all time both as a race horse and sire. I always look for the finishers and A.P. Indy was one of the best at it just like his daddy Seattle Slew, and his grandfather, the immortal Secretariat.

With Seattle Slew being the father of AP Indy, you can expect nothing less than heart and grit, just like Slew.

Same about his maternal grandsire, Secretariat.

A.P.Indy,a Belmont stakes winner,was sired by another Belmont winner (Seattle Slew) and grand sired by another belmont champ,Secretariat.A.P.Indy's daughter,Rags to Riches also won the Belmont Stakes in 2007.Rags to riches is the first filly to win the Belmont in 100 years and the 1st to win the belmont at a mile and a half.

RIP A.P. Indy. Great race.

[@jlove8445]

Really enjoyed Jim McKay and Charlsie Cantey on these broadcasts back in the day, everything about the upcoming race had such a great feel to it, anticipating the race and even in the winners circle Jim had a way of cracking me up the way he would speak to the trainers, owners, jockeys… In the winners circle here with the owner Jim says “oh we have an interpreter” the interpreter responds “I did already” and Jim responds “well, what does he wanna say?” Miss him very much 😆

[@jm1657]

I loved Jim McKay too. A wonderful broadcaster with just the right touch.

[@TheJonRW]

Loved being there to see Slew's son win the Belmont. Had Indy not been injured before the Derby, Slew would have sired a Triple Crown winner. Slew, of course, is my favorite horse of all time.

[@Postinaway]

He had his daddy's dauntless, grinding style, matched with his grandpa's stride and running body position, like American Pharoah. There is no question in my mind that he would have won the TC had he not had to scratch from the Derby. All those babies came by their talent honestly!

[@theearl1477]

Agreed.

[@thebronx-kr9ns]

His bloodline is crazy

[@robertascani9143]

Slew was such a success as a sire that no matter what the other breeding is I always feel/felt that they got it from Daddy. Seattle Slew is my favorite horse of all time and after 3 phenomenal seasons on the track to think he gave almost another 25 in the breeding shed. I believe he still only stands second to Native Dancer as a sire.

[@rhynes2]

I totally Agree. Don't forget Bold Ruler as a Great sire of influence!

[@anthonynavarro6074]

I was 7 when he won derby. I just remember his name. SEATTLE SLEW. Great athlete

[@4orrcountry]

@@fklifter1 Hear, hear Northern Dancer!

[@fklifter1]

@@4orrcountry People seem to forget Northern Dancer because he was Canadian Bred but over 75% of the horses have his name in there bloodline not once but 2 or 3 times and many of his sons were great sires too

[@EduardoRodriguez-hd7wh]

The good old days those moments will never come back 😊

[@SnidgetAsphodel]

Yes! He was so easy to spot in every race he ran because of that distinct stride of his. I could pick him out in any race even if I didn't know what post position he had and without listening to the call. It was easy because of his style. And what a legend he became as a sire. One of my favorite horses all time. It's sad to know his breeding days are over, but he made such an incredible mark to the world of thoroughbred racing.

[@comesahorseman]

[@chuckemeade]

Interesting to hear the praise about AP Indy's pedigree and Seattle Slew mentioned, I remember in 1977 the experts saying Slew was a fluke with a poor pedigree. I'm no expert but I always thought Slew was a hell of a horse.

[@boswindle9050]

@@chuckemeade he was the best to ever do it. Why do you think he has more successful winners in his bloodline than any Triple Crown winner in history. He was the only horse in 120 years to win the Triple Crown undefeated. Beat Affirmed head to head Simply brilliance

[@johnking5934]

If A.P, Indy never had a hoof injury that kept him out of the first two legs of the triple crown, A.P, Indy would have won the triple crown, Great horse . The son of Seattle Slew was a great one like his daddy, it wasn,t meant to be but A.P, Indy was as good and better than some horses who have won the triple crown, he won The Belmont 2nd fastest in history, only Secretariat A.P. Indys great grandsire went faster . Great horse and stallion .

[@fklifter1]

Sorry to disappoint you but Easy Goer had the second fastest time in Belmont history in 1989 .AP Indy time was officially slower than Easy Goer check the official time out

[@richardkahlan9123]

AP INDY lives on through his descendants like Pulpit and Tapit. He also sired another Belmont winner, Rags to Riches, who is the only filly to win the Belmont at a mile and a half.

[@cmeflywva]

He paid $2.9 million for AP Indy as a yearling and today that would be the equivalent of over $4.6 million dollars. He was worth every penny. I can’t imagine the return from the breeding if the owner maintained all or just some of the breeding rights. Dug in the track like Seattle Slew and had the stride of Secretariat. Most of his confirmation seemed to be like Secretariat with the exception of the classic notch in his back like Slew and his foals. His only fault was his shelly feet. He was a beautiful horse.

As the son of Secretariat's daughter Weekend Surprise, gotta wonder if A.P. Indy inherited his granddaddy's large heart gene (which is passed through the mare)? Might explain his taking this Belmont in stride, but of course his dad was no slouch either. Whoa, what a pedigree! Tremendous competitor and a thrill to watch.
