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.
