Champion Sire Tapit To Be Featured In Season 4 Of National Museum Of Racing And Hall Of Fame’s Foal Patrol

Gainesway Farm's three-time North American champion sire Tapit will be the featured stallion for the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame's Foal Patrol Season 4, which will debut online at www.foalpatrol.com on Dec. 29.

One of the most influential and breed-shaping stallions of the past half-century, Tapit has sired 27 Grade 1 winners, 31 yearlings to bring $1 million or more at auction, and earners of more than $162 million on the racetrack. He stands at historic Gainesway in Lexington, Ky., for a 2021 fee of $185,000.

Foal Patrol is a one-of-a-kind collection of live cameras following the daily activities of in-foal mares produced by the National Museum of Racing. Millions of people throughout the world have viewed the popular webcam program since its initial launch in late 2017. Tapit is the third stallion to be featured on Foal Patrol, joining Frosted (Season 2) and Gun Runner (Season 3).

“It's a thrill for us to have such an accomplished and popular stallion such as Tapit as part of the Foal Patrol program,” said John Hendrickson, president of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. “We thank everyone at Gainesway for sharing him with the fans of Foal Patrol and we're excited to get a glimpse into his daily life at such a wonderful farm.”

To date, Tapit has sired 23 percent black-type horses, 138 overall stakes winners (86 graded), eight Eclipse Award winners, and six Breeders' Cup winners. His 2020 standouts include undefeated Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Essential Quality.

Participating mares and farms for Foal Patrol Season 4 will be announced soon.

Grade 3 Winner Fly On Angel Tops Fasig-Tipton Midlantic December Sale

The rough waters of the 2020 marketplace saw its final ship pass through on Tuesday, when the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age Sale posted across-the-board declines, led by the $195,000 purchase of Grade 3 winner Fly On Angel.

Tuesday's auction saw 182 horses change hands for revenues of $2,345,600, down 46 percent from last year's sale, when 249 horses sold for $4,383,700. The average sale price fell 27 percent to $12,888 from $17,605, and the median declined 38 percent to $5,000 from $8,000. The buyback rate finished at 23 percent, compared with 18 percent in 2019.

Cypress Creek LLC purchased Tuesday's sale-topper, Fly On Angel, a Palace Malice filly who achieved a career highlight earlier this year when she won the Grade 3 Charles Town Oaks.

The 3-year-old has won four of 11 starts, earning $226,660 for owner Joseph Besecker and trainer Claudio Gonzalez.

As a 2-year-old, Fly On Angel won on debut at Parx Racing, then finished second in the Parx Juvenile Fillies Stakes two starts later. Her 3-year-old campaign featured an allowance optional claiming victory prior to her Charles Town Oaks score.

Bred in Kentucky by Machmer Hall and Haymarket Farm, Fly On Angel is out of the stakes-placed Posse mare Runge, whose four foals to race are all winners. Multiple Grade 1 winner Videogenic is in her extended family.

Northview Stallion Station consigned Fly On Angel, as agent for Besecker.

The auction's most expensive weanling, and the second-most expensive overall offering of the day, was a New York-bred Laoban colt who sold to Machmer Hall for $150,000.

The bay colt is out of the placed Stonesider mare Dixie Gem, whose first foal to race is a placed runner. His page features Grade 2 winner Thunder Achiever and Grade 3 winners Pure Gossip and Street Game.

Vinery Sales consigned the colt, as agent.

Grade 1 Winner Princess Noor To Be Bred To Into Mischief In 2021

Zedan Racing's Grade 1 winner Princess Noor will be bred to champion sire Into Mischief this coming spring.

Retired after sustaining a soft tissue injury in the Grade 1 Starlet Stakes last Saturday, plans are to bring Princess Noor to Kentucky in the coming weeks to settle into her new home at Taylor Made Farm where she will begin her second career as a broodmare.

Into Mischief was the champion sire of 2019 and has secured his spot as this year's champion sire, with progeny earnings of nearly $22 million – breaking the single season earnings Tapit set in 2016.

The mating of Princess Noor with Into Mischief scores an “A” TrueNick rating. Similar-crossed yearlings from the Giant's Causeway sire line sold up to $400,000 this year. Mares in-foal to Into Mischief from the Giant's Causeway sire line sold up to $700,000 this year.
