How you don't love AP Indy is pretty remarkable. He is a Seattle Slew out of a Secretariat Mare. It looks like he will have sired 2 of the last 4 Horses of the Year.

As I clearly stated, AP Indy's pedigree is unquestionable...I just don't see him yet as a "super sire" like some are claiming, he's too young...when he becomes a highly successful sire of sires, I will re-evaluate, for now, he's an excellent sire...as are many of the sires that appear in the pedigree's of top horses. I'm not in love with Unbridled either...early success does not always translate into anything more! Cara Rafaela was a classy runner but didn't win much, she brought the RAN curse with her...it was broken this year but still...hard to get super excited about RAN in dam's sire line. I will mention a few recent runners (there are many more) who's pedigree I prefer to Bernardini's...Empire Maker...that RAN line in the preferred sire's sire line with Unbridled in place of Quiet American, and the great Reines-de-course Toussaud as the dam, Sinndar and Giant's Causeway.
