Alvarez Racing Stables will stand Per Capita (Tapit — Successful Outlook by Orientate) in partnership with Fleming Thoroughbred Farm LLC in Willcox, Ariz.
The 6-year-old chestnut horse will be the first son of leading sire Tapit to take up stud duty in the Grand Canyon State. His 2022 introductory fee is $2,000 LFSN.
Bred by Gainesway out of Successful Outlook, a graded stakes winning juvenile by champion sprinter Orientate, Per Capita boasts an impeccable stallion pedigree. He is a full-brother to sires Anchor Down (Grade 2 winner) and Iron Fist (Grade 3 winner) and a half-brother to Grade 1 winner Sweet Lulu (by Mr. Greeley).
Per Capita was initially trained by Chad Brown and later transferred into Todd Pletcher's barn after selling for $325,000, the second-highest horse sold, at Fasig-Tipton's July Horses of Racing Age Sale in 2020. Raced exclusively on dirt at Belmont Park, Saratoga, Gulfstream Park, Churchill Downs, and Aqueduct over distances from seven to nine furlongs, he earned $134,140 from eight starts for a 2-2-2 record and posted a career-best 105 Equibase speed figure.
“We are excited to offer a horse from one of the strongest Gainesway families to breeders in Arizona,” said Dylon Alvarez, who together with his father Freddy founded the racing stable in June 2019 and quickly expanded into the breeding business. “We will strongly support Per Capita with our broodmare band and plan to privately acquire a few more mares specifically to complement his pedigree.”
“Through recent legislation, the incentives for Arizona's breeders have improved significantly, a new stallion like Per Capita will further grow the market,” says Marvin Fleming, manager of Fleming Thoroughbred Farm LLC.
Also new for the 2022 stallion roster is stakes winning and multiple stakes placed, Arizona Moon (Macho Uno – Phoenician Moon by Malibu Moon), property of John J Campo III. Fleming Thoroughbred Farm LLC also stands Lotsa Mischief (Into Mischief), Ez Effort (In Excess (IRE)), and Distorted Reality (Distorted Humor).
