Tapit was unstoppable as a sire this year. What made it so good?

A very excellent article on my favorite sire. Thank you, very much.

Thank you for the compliment Georgerz. He is a superstar sire and I enjoyed writing it.

Excellent article.

I'm going out on a limb saying this, but I think Tapit could be a breed shaper.

Be interesting to see how some of this top sons do when they go to stud. I'm especially eager to see what Tonalist does when he goes to the breeding shed. He certainly has the female family behind him to be a top notch stallion.

Thank you for the compliment Shergar. I LOVE Tonalist's female family-I think he'll make for a very good sire; he's a very well put together horse and has a good amount of natural speed that he can carry a long distance.

Tapit's success may well foretell Summer Bird's potential at stud, especially for breeders who "return to the sire the best blood of his dam".
