Lexington Mayor Gorton Proclaims “Tapit Day”

Mayor Linda Gorton proclaimed April 15, 2021 as “Tapit Day” in Lexington, Ky.

Her official proclamation recognized Tapit as one of the most influential and breed-shaping stallions of the past half century, as well as one of the most valuable horses in America.

The mayor also recognized Gainesway Farm as the well-renowned and historic home of Tapit, founded by John Gaines, and currently owned and operated by Antony Beck, who has made “significant contributions to Thoroughbred breeding and racing, as well as to the city of Lexington.”

“This is a special day for us at Gainesway,” said general manager Brian Graves. “Tapit has obviously been a tremendous asset and part of the Gainesway family. The mayor said she has never known of another horse receiving such a proclamation. It is a great honor and Tapit is very deserving of this recognition.”

Tapit has earned champion sire honors three times during his illustrious stud career. He is the leading active sire in North America by lifetime stakes winners, graded stakes winners, Grade 1 winners, and progeny earnings, which currently are approaching $170 million. In addition to his 27 Grade 1 winners, Tapit has sired seven champions and six Breeders' Cup winners.

Formful Stronach 5 From Gulfstream, Golden Gate Yields $617.80 Payout

The Stronach 5 returned multiple payoffs of $617.80 following a rather formful sequence Friday.

The Stronach 5, the multi-race, multi-track wager that features an industry-low 12 percent takeout, offered a sequence with three straight races from Gulfstream Park, followed by two from Golden Gate Fields. There were 146 tickets that correctly selected all five winners.

The Stronach 5 sequence was kicked off at Gulfstream Park with a late-closing victory by Bob Hess Jr.-trained C'Mon Karen ($8.80) in Race 7, a six-furlong starter optional claiming allowance.  Making his first start for trainer Carlos David, Grade 1-placed Kroy ($4.60) won the second leg of the Stronach 5 in Race 8 at Gulfstream via the disqualification of the first-place finisher, Til The End, in the featured 1 1/16-mile optional claiming allowance on turf. Christophe Clement-trained Mumbai ($3.20) captured Gulfstream's Race 9, a maiden special weight event for 3-year-olds on turf, before the Stronach 5 action switched to Golden Gate Fields for the final two legs.

Blaine Wright-trained Wahasha ($11) registered a front-running victory in Golden Gate Fields' Race 3, a five-furlong sprint for $8,000 claiming maidens, before Jonathan Wong-trained Tyler's Tek ($10.40) closed out the Stronach 5 sequence with a victory in Race 4, a mile turf race for $6,250 claimers.

Friday's Sequence and Results

  • Leg One – Gulfstream Park Race 7: C'Mon Karen $8.80
  • Leg Two – Gulfstream Park Race 8: Kroy $4.60
  • Leg Three – Gulfstream Park Race 9: Mumbai $3.20
  • Leg Four –Golden Gate Fields Race 3: Wahasha $11
  • Leg Five – Golden Gate Fields Race 4: Tyler's Tek $10.40

 Fans can watch and wager on the action at 1ST.COM/BET as well as stream all the action in English and Spanish at LaurelPark.com, SantaAnita.com, GulfstreamPark.com, and GoldenGateFields.com.

The Stronach 5 In the Money podcast, hosted by Jonathan Kinchen and Peter Thomas Fornatale, will be posted by 2 p.m. Thursday atInTheMoneyPodcast.com and will be available on iTunes and other major podcast distributors

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.
