Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Tapizar, the sire of Eclipse Award champion Monomoy Girl, will stand in Japan in 2021. The stallion will arrive at Yushun Stallion Station on Hokkaido in mid-January, the Racing Post reported. Tapizar, a son of perennial leading sire Tapit, raced as a homebred for Winchell Thoroughbreds. He has stood alongside his sire, also a Winchell colorbearer, at Gainesway Farm since his retirement to stud in 2013. He was originally listed on Gainesway's 2021 roster for a fee of $10,000. However, his plans have changed, and he will now become the lone son of Tapit scheduled to stand in Japan for the season. Tapizar's three graded stakes wins were highlighted by the 2012 Dirt Mile at Santa Anita. He is represented by 11 stakes-winning progeny overall to date, led by Monomoy Girl, whose seven Grade 1 victories include the 2018 Kentucky Oaks and Breeders' Cup Distaff in a championship season, and this year's Distaff to potentially secure another title. Tapizar is also the sire of graded stakes winners Amalfi Coast, Honey Bunny, Jeltrin, Project Whiskey, and Solidify.
