You'll love this. That name is reserved, and for all we know, the Mosses have it. It'd have to have been done in the last year. You could be incredibly prescient.

lol
seriously? wow. i feel so ashamed that i had a similar thought to the mosses. but i could just see it, because zenyatta was ginger rogers with four feet.

I thought they would go to Distorted Humor.

p.s. tap dancer is really clever though

[trackrat59]

Tap Dancer is very good. And, you're all seriously funny. But does ANYONE have a clue why they might have gone to Tapit?

[Indian Charlie]

Perhaps because he's perceived to be one of the hottest stallions around?

That and they seem to like AP Indy blood with this mares family.

i agree with indian charlie. except for perhaps bernardini, tapit is the hottest thing going. and i'd have to think that unlike bernardini, tapit probably didn't get the top notch cream of the crop mares his first couple years at stud. he wasn't the biggest star for that year, but has had amazing successes thus far. with him doing so well, he's getting them now for sure.

Thanks IC and Danzig.

Tapit adds a bit of speed and the AP Indy line sires have done will with this family. Nothing wrong with the choice. Certainly Gainesway and the syndicate members have to be happy with the decision. It's a mark of distinction for a young stallion.

[citycat]

Time will tell, it will be interesting to see what happens since it is a C nic

On paper, I like the AP Indy line over Street Cry (and AP Indy - Balance colt sold for big bucks), but I wonder if they match physically. I recall speaking to someone at Gainesway a few years ago, when we considered sending a mare to Tapit (when he was standing for $10K), and the one thing that I recall from the conversation is that he would be best with an average-sized, more refined mare. I don't think Zenyatta fits that description.

a tapit colt just went for a million at the F-T 2 yo's in training sale.
