Tapiture will stand at Highfield Stock Farm in Alberta, Canada, for the 2025 breeding season.
A son of leading sire Tapit , Tapiture displayed remarkable ability and durability, amassing $1,536,820 in earnings, including graded stakes victories at ages 2, 3, and 4, as well as a runner-up finish in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) where he achieved a career-high Equibase Speed Figure of 123.
Tapiture has also excelled as a sire with his progeny having cumulatively earned more than $35 million, with more than $7.5 million in 2024 alone. He has sired 32 black-type winners from six crops of racing age, including millionaire and grade 1 performer Jesus’ Team. Tapiture has consistently outperformed top sires like American Pharoah , Constitution , and Curlin in producing winners, with a career-high of 162 in 2023 and 157 already in 2024.
“Tapiture previously stood at Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky, where he passed down his speed and durability to his progeny. With (32) black-type winners and average earnings per starter exceeding $68,000, Tapiture will be uniquely positioned in the stallion market in Alberta to provide breeders with exceptional quality,” said Adrian Munro of Highfield Stock Farm.
“Tapiture is a top-class stallion who produces superb racehorses. He was very successful at Darby Dan, and while we will miss him, we are delighted that Highfield Stock Farm, a highly professional Canadian operation, will continue his stallion career,” said John Phillips of Darby Dan.
