GAINESWAY sire Tapit (by Pulpit) set the single-season earnings record for a North American-based sire by the end of October this year when his daughter Untapable won the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Santa Anita.

Tapit entered the day needing less than $755,000 to break the record set by Smart Strike in 2007 of $14,358,570. Tapit picked up $180,000 with a runner-up finish by Tapiture in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and then Untapable added another $1.1 million with her victory in the Distaff.
