If I could add my 2 cents to this post? A.P. Indy without any doubts would have crushed the joke of the 92 Derby when he scratched due to his foot. While Pine Bluff (o.t.b.f) was a good horse, Lil E.T. would have been 50-1 if Pat "Wait all" Day was not on him. Casual Lies and Dance Floor could not warm up A.P. Indy and we all knew Arazi was over hyped from his juvie win the previous year at CD....btw how did that one 7f turf prep in an allowance in France workout Sheik?

A.P. Indy had the cruising speed, but was very temperamental, he lost the Molson million in the paddock that day(rank and washy) when 50-1 longshot Benburb beat him. Came to Belmont a month later and had the trip from hell losing to Pleasant Tap in the Jockey Gold cup and when he won the BC Classic, he look worst than Zilzal in 1989 in the post parade and I had always thought that was the worst a horse could look before a race. That even proves how much talent A.P. Indy had. But we all know why he was retired after his 3 yrs old season? It was called being a 4.5 Million dollar yearling and too much money was on him for being a Stallion. One of the first time siblings ran to a high level as his 1/2 brother Summer Squall won the preakness in 1990.
