Doug had a special place in his heart for a horse by the name of AP Indy. He had the chance to visit him at Lanes End Farm a few times and it was the highlight of his life.  He enjoyed the sport of horse racing and loved to discuss it and share videos of AP Indy every chance he got.   "I never uncocked my stick." -- Eddie Delahoussaye; Jockey, AP Indy
