Here's a link to a funny story for all you Tapit fans.

I also read today in the Thoroughbred Times supplement that Tapit's diet includes "a pint of beer and three raw eggs daily". Additionally, Dickinson is bringing his own sod to Churchill from Tapeta farms because he believes in organic grass! Reminds me of that fellow O'Brien from Ireland who brings Irish spring water whenever he ships horses into America.
Interestingly, I looked into Tapit's extended pedigree and some of the influences in his lines are AP Indy, Unbridled, Seattle Slew, Mr. Prospector, Fappiano, Nijinsky II, Secretariat, Honest Pleasure, and Northern Dancer -- pretty darn scary by any estimation.
Good luck to all!
