The most successful and expensive sire in North America is the charismatic grey
champion Tapit and Newgate Farm are proud to present the one and only mare to
be offered in foal to him at public auction in Australia this year at the 2016
Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale next week.
Standing at Gainesway in Kentucky, Tapit commands a fee of $US300,000 in the US
and this is why.
The Champion Sire in North America for 2014 and 2015, Tapit is leading the way
again this year with 11 stakes-winners on the board and progeny earnings
topping $7.7 million.
With 10.3% stakes-winners to runners, 15 year-old Tapit is the real deal and
his tally of 79 stakes-winners includes 17 Group I winners.
To be offered by Newgate Farm as Lot
721 is Morning Fix (USA), a three time winner and Group III place-getter at
Santa Anita.
In foal to Tapit on a September 6 service in her first season at stud, Morning
Fix is completely free of Danzig blood and comes from the family of Group I
Kentucky Oaks winner Summerly.
Tapit will give this exciting young matron a scintillating start to her stud
career and then she is a prime contender to visit any of the top stallions in
Australia going forward.
Morning Fix highlights a stellar draft of 33 mares from Newgate Farm, many of
them in foal to the farm's red hot young sires Dissident, Wandjina and Deep
Field. Click
