Enforceable, a Grade 3 winner who ran in the 2020 Kentucky Derby, will be exported to South America to begin his stallion career, likely standing in Peru, after selling for $125,000 on Monday at the Fasig-Tipton July Selected Horses of All Ages Sale.
Fernando Macchiavello, who signed the ticket on behalf of Equine Consulting Sac, agent, declined to provide the identity of the buyer, but he said the 5-year-old Tapit horse was purchased to stand at stud. Grovendale Sales consigned the horse, as agent.
“He's a Tapit graded stakes winner, a nice horse,” Macchiavello said. “He was a very good looking horse.”
Bred in Kentucky by Clearsky Farms, Enforceable is out of the Grade 2-winning Dixie Union mare Justwhistledixie, making him a full-brother to Grade 2 winner Mohaymen and Grade 3 winner Kingly. He is a half-brother to Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner New Year's Day and stakes-placed Irish Unity.
Enforceable ends his career with three wins in 20 starts for earnings of $488,249. He broke his maiden as a juvenile at Saratoga Race Course in his fourth career start, then parlayed that victory into a third-place finish in the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland, and a fourth in the G2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs.
Trained by Mark Casse for owner John Oxley, Enforceable started his 3-year-old season with a 1 1/2-length score in the G3 Lecomte Stakes at the Fair Grounds. He remained in Louisiana for the remainder of his traditional Kentucky Derby prep schedule, running second in the G2 Risen Star Stakes, and fifth in the G2 Louisiana Derby.
When COVID wreaked havoc on the Triple Crown calendar, Enforceable headed to Keeneland, where he finished fourth in a mid-summer renewal of the G2 Blue Grass Stakes.
Enforceable entered that September's rescheduled Kentucky Derby as a mid-priced hope, and he finished seventh under jockey Adam Beschizza, following a troubled trip that saw him pinned on the rail for most of the race.
The horse continued to race until the spring of 2022, with his most notable efforts being a Fair Grounds allowance optional claiming win to kick off his 4-year-old season in 2021, and a third in the G2 New Orleans Classic Stakes two starts later. His final start came during this year's Keeneland spring meet, where he finished last of eight in an optional claiming race.
Macchiavello, a native of Peru based in Lexington, Ky., said a stallion prospect with his pedigree and experience on the sport's biggest stage will likely make him a popular newcomer for Peruvian breeders.
“I think we breed pretty nice horses,” he said. “It's not big, but to give an example, the dam of Creator (winner of the 2016 Belmont Stakes, by Tapit), Morena, is a Peruvian mare. To produce a classic winner is a unique situation for any South American mare. I think that's another reason to think a Tapit horse could do well there. I think there's a lot of people that like horse racing and breeding in Peru, and like to do well and breed a good horse.”
