A.P. Indy Pensioned

[smartbid09]

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.

No it wasn't; I get that he doesn't like my posts and that's fine, but it's like I ran over his dog or something.

Come on, I was kidding. For years you've made it clear how much you love him. I figured you would have a sense of humor about the whole thing.

I would have, if sometimes when I've gone into threads, I wouldn't have seen some posts constantly mentioning me and how I love Bernardini. You might joke around with Indomitable as well since he mentions War Front every chance he gets.

If you're just joking, then I apologize, but I got the impression your prior posts were not meant to be joking.

Now as to Indy - I am saddened as he's not that old. On the other hand, he did much to keep the Bold Ruler line alive and he's got sons that are doing a fine job. IMO, he's earned his keep at Lane's End for as long as he lives and I hope he lives a long and happy life there. He was a very good racehorse and an outstanding sire - I do love him a ton.

Overrated because he was a very good sire.

If Ghostzapper had the start at stud that War Front did - he'd not only be a Hall of Fame nom ... but he'd probably get in on the first ballot.

Dude.

Seriously. You are turning into a Zenyatta lover these last couple of days.
