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. Indianapolis was one of two horses to win the NZ Trotting Cup three times, the other being False Step. 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.

He won the following major races:

  • 1932 Great Northern Derby
  • 1933 Auckland Pacing Cup
  • 1934 New Zealand Trotting Cup
  • 1935 New Zealand Trotting Cup (handicapped 48 yards)
  • 1936 New Zealand Trotting Cup (handicapped 48 yards)
