MINESHAFT A.P. Indy - Prospectors Delite, by Mr. Prospector 1999 Dkb/br | 16.1 1/2 Hands The only Horse of the Year by Leading Sire A.P. Indy, Mineshaft, is a consistent source of graded stakes winners. Mineshaft is out of a mare by Mr. Prospector, but has sired 11 stakes winners out of Mr. Prospector line mares. He has two- year- old grade one winner Bond Holder out of a mare by Conquistador Cielo; graded winner Cool Coal Man out of a mare by Rubiano (by Fappiano, who is also broodmare sire of a Mineshaft stakes winner), and a stakes winner out of a mare by Unbridled’s Song, from the Unbridled branch of Fappiano; 2015 graded stakes winner Effinex from a daughter of E Dubai; and graded stakes winner Juanita out of a mare by Smart Strike; as well as Kentucky Derby second Nehro out of a mare by Afleet (sire of Northern Afleet; grandsire of Afleet Alex); and stakes winners out of mares by Seeking the Gold and his son Petionville; Editor’s Note (a son of Forty Niner); Hansel (a son of Woodman); and Carson City. A.P. Indy has also done extremely well over mares descending from the other great sire line of the current era, that of Northern Dancer. Mineshaft is half-brother to a group winner by Northern Dancer son, Danzig, and he has graded scorer Nellie Cashman out of a mare by that horse’s son Pine Bluff, and a stakes winner out a mare by his son Danehill. Mineshaft is also half- brother to a stakes winner by Northern Dancer son, Dixieland Band (broodmare sire of a stakes winner by Mineshaft). Out of mares from the Storm Cat branch of Northern Dancer Mineshaft is sire of grade one winners Dialed In and It’s Tricky (out of a mare by Tale of the Cat), as well as graded scorer Fortune Pearl, and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint victor Hightail. Mineshaft has graded winner Casino Drive out of a mare by Deputy Minister, and graded winner Nates Mineshaft out of a mare by that horse’s son, Silver Deputy. He also has the multiple graded winner Redding Colliery out of mare by Zilzal (by Nureyev). Bold Reasoning Mineshaft has enjoyed notable success with mares from the Damascus line. His brilliant Seattle Slew grade one winning sprinter, Discreetly Mine, is out of a mare by Private Account, and his My Charmer multiple graded winner and classic placed performer Fly Down is out of a mare by Fly So Free (by Time For a Change). Another Damascus line broodmare sire to try here might be A.P. Indy Gilded Time. Out of mares from the Roberto line, Mineshaft has three stakes winners, Secretariat including grade one performer Coal Play out of a mare by Kris S. and a stakes winner out Weekend Surprise of a mare by Red Ransom. From the Halo branch of Hail to Reason, Mineshaft has a Lassie Dear stakes winner out of mare by Jolie’s Halo, and a stakes winner out of a mare by Sunday Silence, suggesting trying daughters of More Than Ready. Mineshaft also has stakes Raise a Native winners out of mares by Broad Brush, Pleasant Colony and Honour and Glory.
