A.P. Indy in 2019 at Lane's End
Horse of the Year and one of the world's great stallions, A.P. Indy died peacefully Feb. 21 at his long-time home at Lane's End, near Versailles, Ky.
Bill Farish, of Lane's End, said everyone at the farm was leaning on one another on a difficult Friday at the farm. He noted how much A.P. Indy meant to his father, William S. Farish, who bred A.P. Indy with W. S. Kilroy and later came back to own the 1992 Horse of the Year as part of a partnership.
"Any time dad would visit the farm, his first stop would be to go visit A.P. Indy," Bill Farish said.
The 1992 Horse of the Year, a son of Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, A.P. Indy twice finished as leading sire, once finished as leading broodmare sire, and has finished among the leaders on both of those lists multiple times.
