Indianapolis was a New Zealand bred Standardbred racehorse. He is notable in that he won three New Zealand Trotting Cup races, the richest harness race, and sometimes the richest horse race in New Zealand.[1] Indianapolis is one of three horses to win the NZ Trotting Cup three times, the others being False Step and Terror to Love. He held the world record for a three-year-old, a record which stood for 14 years.

He was a brother to Tondeleyo (a notable taproot dam) and Miraculous (contested two Inter Dominion heats, sire) and was a half-brother to the sire, Red Raider.[2]
