A.P. Indy Is Retired; Colt to Stand at Stud in Kentucky

A.P. Indy, 3-year-old winner of the Breeders’ Cup Classic, has been retired and will stand stud at Lane’s End Farm, starting next year.

Will Farish, owner of Lane’s End Farm near Versailles, Ky., and co-owner Tomonori Tsurumaki said Monday that a decision had been made to syndicate the horse. The 3-year-old colt will command a stud fee of $50,000 based on a live foal.

Farish recently bought an interest in A.P. Indy, a son of Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew. The colt was the highest priced yearling when Lane’s End sold him to Tsurumaki for $2.9 million during the 1990 Keeneland Select Yearling Sale.

A.P. Indy earned $2,979,815, winning three of four starts as a 2-year-old and five of seven as a 3-year-old. He was held out of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes because of a hoof injury, but came back to win the Belmont Stakes.

A.P. Indy is a half-brother to 1990 Preakness winner Summer Squall, who also is at Lane’s End.
