Tapizar Euthanized After Stall Accident In Gainesway Quarantine Barn

Tapizar (Tapit—Winning Call, by Deputy Minister), who was set to be shipped to Japan to stand stud at Yushun Stallion Station for the 2021 season, was euthanized after an accident in his stall at the Gainesway quarantine barn Tuesday night.

The 12-year-old was scheduled to travel in mid-January.

“It is with great sadness that Gainesway confirms the sudden and tragic loss of Tapizar,” read a statement from the farm distributed Wednesday. “Our hearts go out to all of those involved.”

The sire of the five-time Grade 1 stakes winner and 2018 Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Monomoy Girl, a $9.5 million racing prospect at this November's Fasig-Tipton Sale, Tapizar is the third-leading sire by cumulative earnings from his crop year, and is also third on this year's year-to-date fifth crop list. He is also the sire of G3 Delaware Oaks winner Project Whiskey, four other graded stakes winners, 10 black-type winners and 24 black-type horses.

In all, his progeny have earned over $22 million.

Himself the winner of the G1 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile and the G2 San Fernando Stakes, Tapizar had stood at Gainesway since his retirement in 2013.

Tapizar Dies

Tapizar (Tapit–Winning Call, by Deputy Minister), who was set to be shipped to Japan to stand stud at Yushun Stallion Station for the 2021 season, was euthanized after an accident in his stall at the Gainesway quarantine barn Tuesday night. The 12-year-old was scheduled to travel in mid-January.

“It is with great sadness that Gainesway confirms the sudden and tragic loss of Tapizar,” said Gainesway Farm’s General Manager Brian Graves in a statement. “Our hearts go out to all of those involved.”

Tapizar’s top produce is the seven-time Grade I winner and soon-to-be two-time champion Monomoy Girl, a $9.5 million FTKNOV purchase by Spendthrift following her second GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff win. He is the third-leading sire by cumulative earnings from his crop year, and is also third on this year’s year-to-date fifth-crop list. He is also the sire of GIII Delaware Oaks winner Project Whiskey, as well as four other graded stakes winners, 10 black-type winners and 24 black-type horses. In all his progeny have earned over $22 million.

Trained by Steve Asmussen, the Winchell Thoroughbreds homebred won six of his 14 races, topped by the 2012 GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and GII San Fernando S. Tapizar had stood at Gainesway since his retirement in 2013.

Tapizar, Sire Of Monomoy Girl, Moves To Japan For 2021

Tapizar, a Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner and sire of champion Monomoy Girl, will relocate to Yushun Stallion Station in Japan for the 2021 breeding season, Racing Post reports.

The 12-year-old son of Tapit previously stood at Gainesway in Lexington, Ky., where he entered stud in 2013. From five crops of racing age, he has sired 231 winners and his runners have earned more than $22.4 million.

His most successful offspring is Monomoy Girl, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2018 and likely champion older mare of 2020. She won the Breeders' Cup Distaff during both campaigns, and her nine career graded stakes wins also includes the 2018 Kentucky Oaks. Last month, she sold to Spendthrift Farm for $9.5 million at the Fasig-Tipton November sale, and she will remain in training for 2021.

Other runners of note by Tapizar include Grade 2 winners Jeltrin and Amalfi Coast, and Grade 3 winners Honey Bunny, Project Whiskey, and Solidify.

Tapizar is best known during his own on-track career for his victory in the 2012 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita Park. All three of his career graded stakes wins came at Santa Anita, also adding the G3 Sham Stakes and G2 San Fernando Stakes. In total, he won six of 14 starts for $972,632.

Tapizar is expected to arrive at his new farm in mid-January.
