Back in the damn real world I now own 2% of Tapizar colt, hip #456. This is not the horse I would have chosen, but let’s give the Dare to Dream guys a chance to prove me wrong. The dam side is a sprint oriented Dixie Union mare that ran 90-96 Equibase speed figs consistently. The breeding is very similar to Tapizar’s star offspring Monomoy Girl. Mike Dubb and Sol Kumin paid only $100,000 for her, so it is ok to dream. MG is out of a Henny Hughs mare I would never give a second look.
My new guy worked a quick 9.4, better than 95% of the other horses in the sale. I would prefer more stamina in the breeding, but what the $%#%%$#$ do I know. He is a great looking horse, and for $75,000 it is difficult to argue they paid too much, even if he never goes past 7 furlongs. The other Tapizar that sold had a 10.0 work, and went for $205,000 with a less impressive dam Carson City dam.
