A $1.3 million yearling, and a winner at two, TAPIT TRICE established himself as a top-class racehorse early in his three-year-old campaign earning TDN ‘Rising Star’ status at Gulfstream. He quickly validated that distinction in his next start with a two-length triumph in the Tampa Bay Derby (G3).

TAPIT TRICE followed that with an exhilarating win in the Blue Grass Stakes (G1) at Keeneland and consequently entered the starting gate as a favorite in the 2023 Kentucky Derby. The second half of TAPIT TRICE’s sophomore campaign saw him finish in the money in both the Belmont Stakes (G1) and the Travers Stakes (G1).

TAPIT TRICE came back strong at four, winning his seasonal bow in the Monmouth Cup Stakes (G3) by a commanding 5 ¼ lengths while earning a 101 Beyer Speed Figure. He also picked up another marquee victory in the Woodward Stakes (G2). He retired with earnings of $1,873,650.

TAPIT TRICE, a Gainesway homebred, is out of the Grade 3-placed, and multiple stakes-winning Dunkirk mare Danzatrice, who herself is a half-sister to the Champion 2-Year-Old Filly, Jaywalk. His immediate family also includes millionaire Mission Impazible.

“I could not be prouder or more excited to partner with Mandy [Pope] and bring this exciting homebred son of Tapit back to Gainesway Farm,” said Antony Beck. “TAPIT TRICE is line-bred 3×4 to both A.P. Indy and Unbridled, two of the most influential stallions of this era.  Our hope is he follows in his father’s footsteps.”
