TAPit

Tapit is an American Thoroughbred stallion foaled in 2001. He was bred in Kentucky and later became one of the most influential sires in North American racing. After a relatively brief racing career, Tapit entered stud and stood at Gainesway Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. He is a son of Pulpit, and his dam is Tap Your Heels.

As a sire, Tapit has had a major impact on modern bloodlines. He has produced numerous Grade 1 winners and has led the North American sire lists for several years, reflecting strong demand for his offspring. His progeny have achieved success across major races on dirt and, increasingly, on turf, across a range of distances from middle to classic.

Notable offspring include Tonalist, who captured the Belmont Stakes, and Tapwrit, the Belmont Stakes winner in 2017. Through these and many other winners, Tapit has become a dominant source of young sires and bloodlines in breeding programs worldwide. His influence extends beyond American racing, with descendants appearing in major races around the globe.
