Tapwrit Goes To Gainesway
The gray son of three-time leading sire Tapit and Classic winner Tapwrit has been retired from racing and will enter stud at Gainesway for a $12,500 stud fee in 2019.
The Belmont Stakes' winner's Beyer Speed Figure of 103 is the second-highest in the last decade, behind only American Pharoah 's 105.
Tapwrit always showed a great deal of ability, but in the Belmont Stakes he demonstrated the class and competitiveness you need to win a classic race, said his erstwhile trainer Todd Pletcher said. "With his outstanding physical and pedigree, Tapwrit certainly has the credentials to be a top sire.
