I think the rage on Tapit might be a bit overboard.
Yeah, he really does throw an unusual number of talented runners, but really, who's his best runner to date? Stardom Bound? Hansen? Come to think of it, it's probably Untapable. I guess things could get interesting in the next few years with him getting much better books of mares, but for the most part, his runners don't say good for very long.

Mixed Results for Keeneland Book 2 Opener
by Glenye Cain Oakford The Keeneland September sale's Book 2 portion began Sept. 13 with mixed results, but the sale's overall median remained 2.8% ahead of last year's at the same point, reflecting some of the strength seen in the 13-day auction's Book 1 portion. Led by Juddmonte Farm's $600,000 purchase of a colt by first-crop sire Trappe Shot , the fifth of 13 sessions sold more horses and posted a very slight increase in gross over last year's equivalent session, accruing $35,634,500 for 294 horses. In 2013, the fifth session sold 280 yearlings for $35,308,000. But Saturday's average price of $121,206 was 3.9% down from last year's at the same stage, and the $100,000 median also lost some ground, dipping 11.1% from last season's $112,500. But the buyback rate did go down, dropping from last year's 27.5% to 22.6% Saturday. Cumulatively, the first five sessions have sold 767 yearlings, down from 826 a year ago, for 5.8% less total income: the aggregate fell from last year's $188,693,000 to $177,787,500. The five-day average also retreated by 19.6%, falling from last season's $288,442 to $231,796, a figure that undoubtedly suffered from the smaller number of million-dollar lots so far. In 2013, there were 18 millionaires in Book 1, as compared to 13 this year. The five-day median rose above last year's, increasing from $175,000 to $180,000. And, as during Saturday's session, the total buyback rate was lower, too. Through the fifth session last year, it stood at 27.2%, and this year's first five days improved on that figure at 25.6%. Two yearlings brought more than $500,000 at the Saturday session, which saw major buyers from the four-day Book 1 portion stay to bid on their top selections. Garrett O'Rourke, manager of Prince Khaled Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms in Kentucky, signed for the sale-topping Trappe Shot colt who is a three-quarters brother to 2012 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (gr. I) winner Tapizar .
