1992 Santa Anita Derby - A.P. Indy
Вставка

- The $2.9-million yearling, the most expensive sold in 1990, might be worth Japanese businessman Tomonori Tsurumaki's investment. A.P. Indy won the Santa Anita Derby by 1 3/4 lengths, beating Bertrando and Casual Lies before an on-track crowd of 38,346 with a late stretch move that behooves a 3-year-old who will be asked to run an eighth of a mile farther in Kentucky.
Bertrando, second by a neck over Casual Lies after setting the pace from the start, is another Churchill Downs candidate on May 2, and Shelley Riley, Casual Lies' owner-trainer, indicated that her colt also would be Kentucky Derby-bound.
Over a track that was listed as fast but was dull from recent rain, the winning time for 1 1/8 miles was 1:49 1/5, two seconds slower than the stakes record and the slowest for a Santa Anita Derby winner in nine years. Still, in the absence of any firepower from the East, A.P. Indy probably will be the second betting choice for the Kentucky Derby, assuming Arazi, last year's champion 2-year-old colt, has no trouble in his only Churchill Downs prep race on Tuesday near Paris.
"Being second (betting choice) might not be too bad," said A.P. Indy's trainer, Neil Drysdale, who will be taking his first horse to the Derby. "I read in the paper where the Derby favorites (since 1980) never win the race."

A.P. Indy was a great horse and it was a pleasure to watch him run, but I had a place in my heart for Bertrando.
I just watched this race side-by-side with Honor A.P.'s SA Derby win and I got goosebumps. It was like seeing Indy all over again.
The big 'Royal' horses came before my time, but then I saw A. P. Indy.
My first, and so far only, SAD live at the loveliest track in the US (maybe Keeneland too). API had won a race up in the SF Bay area but I was a Bertrando fan, especially after he got beat by that fluke, Arazi the year before in the BC Juvenile.
A month after this race, we had the Rodney King riots down in L.A. which actually shut down DRF's printing plant. And both A and B sat out the Ky Derby in which Casual Lies ran second (whatever happened to him?).
This race also produced only the second great photo I ever took of a horse race (the other being that of Spectacular Bid when he walked over a race at Arlington Park in 1980.
A race worth noting, thanks for the post.
Bertrando's loss to Arcangues in the BC Classic was also something.
Eddie D ran AP 5 wide and he still pulled away!
Truly the best bloodlines of all time. Seattle Shew daddy, Secretariat Grandaddy case closed!!!! Note: if he did not have a bad hoof that became an acrylic glue hoof he would have have been a triple crown winner and an undefeated horse. Coulda, woulda, I know!! But his legend will live on in his bloodline!!!
Would have been a Triple Crown Winner No Doubt!
AP Indy ran with a lot of heart and grit, just like his dad, Seattle Slew,
who was one of the all time greats. Slew seldom lost a race.
A.P Indy starts his quest for horse of the year
Bertrando always disappoinment. I started betting against him and he won. Bomber.
Wow!!!!!
By Far the best horse in that race, Bertrando was a drugged up horse
Why Bertrando didn't run in the Kentucky Derby?
