A.P. Indy

As a son of Seattle Slew and a grandson of Secretariat—both Triple Crown winners—A.P. Indy was destined for racing glory. But he still had to go out and earn it. Overcoming physical ailments that would have stopped lesser athletes, A.P. Indy won the Belmont Stakes and Breeders' Cup Classic to become 1992's Horse of the Year.

Indy sired a number of the best racehorses on the planet, and some of his progeny would follow suit.
