His dam Mount Whistle was a daughter of the Ascot Gold Cup winner William the Third. Racing careerAt age two, Adam's Apple won the Soltykoff Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse.[2] He ran third in the 1926 Criterion Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse and third again in the New Stakes at Ascot Racecourse behind Sickle and the winner, Damon. He made four starts as a three-year-old, finishing off the board in three; however, he was ridden to victory by jockey Jack Leach in the 1927 2000 Guineas Stakes, defeating runner-up Call Boy (later The Derby winner), with Sickle third.[3] Stud recordAfter his retirement from racing, Adam's Apple was sold to Argentine breeders.[4] There he met with some success, siring the filly Chimentera, winner of the Las Oaks at Santiago Chile's Club Hipico de Santiago, and the very good filly La Bastille, likewise a winner of the Oaks but who also defeated her male counterparts in winning the El Derby at the Valparaiso Sporting Club racetrack at Vina del Mar, Chile.[5] Notes1. ^List of 2000 Guineas winners Retrieved 2011-06-25. {{2000 Guineas winners}}2. ^Adam's Apple's family Retrieved 2011-06-25. 3. ^National Horseracing Museum (which erroneously states that Adam's Apple was exported to Australia) Retrieved 2011-06-25. 4. ^Pryor, Peter, The Classic Connection, Cortney Publications, Luton, 1979.
