Highfield Stock Farm is thrilled to announce that Tapiture will stand at the farm for the 2025 breeding season.
A son of the breed-defining stallion Tapit, who has sired earners exceeding $211 million and produced leading North American sires such as Constitution, Tapiture embodies exceptional quality in the breeding shed.
On the racetrack, Tapiture displayed remarkable ability and durability, amassing $1,536,820 in earnings, including graded stakes victories at ages two, three, and four, as well as a notable second-place finish behind the brilliant Goldencents in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, where he achieved a career-high E figure of 123. Tapiture boasts 11 graded stakes wins or placings, solidifying his status as a top competitor.
With a proven pedigree and an outstanding performance record, Tapiture has also excelled as a sire.
His progeny have achieved remarkable success on the track, accumulating over $35 million in earnings, with over $7 million in 2024 alone. He has sired 40 black-type winners from six crops, 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 158 already in 2024.
Tapiture has 14 black-type horses this year, eight of which are black-type winners.
“Tapiture previously stood at Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky, where he passed down his speed and durability to his progeny. With 40 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 Farm.
