[1] Adam's Apple was sired by Pommern, the 1915 English Triple Crown champion.

His dam Mount Whistle was a daughter of the Ascot Gold Cup winner William the Third.

At age two, Adam's Apple won the Soltykoff Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse.

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.

[4] There he met with some success, siring the filly Chimentera, winner of the Las Oaks at Club Hipico de Santiago in Santiago, Chile, 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.
