Same here.

Funny, I read that Bold Ruler completed his mission in about 2 minutes! Tapit must have the lead in Bold Ruler's gene pool!

Secretariat is in the 4 line, literally. By Y-chromosome though. I guess he carries the hearth mutation and sought after Myostatin regulating genes. Not that I'm involved with this breed

I read that the big heart gene came from the dam. So Secretariat large heart came from his mothers side. Her sire passed the gene to her, she passed it on to him.

@@christhompson9486 thats true secretariats dam sire is princequillo who is probably the best dam sire ever. Sadly for sham he was also his dam sire.

@Maynard Runkle the fastest and 2nd fastest derby and preakness times in history were run in the same race. So if sham was born in any other year he wouldve won both races pretty easily and remembered as a great horse not an unlucky one.

His color isn’t unique whatsoever? 😂😂

@@mayanobles4787 I have 5 horses and 4 of them are older than 19. Got a wonderful 24 year old mare that is rarely sick and has never been lame. Old for horses use to be around 21 years old but that was back around 30 years ago. Nowadays horses are living longer due to better vet care and specialized nutrition. I know plenty of horses in their 30's.

@@mayanobles4787 Can barely go to 25? xD Aw man, I better go and tell that to my 30 year old gelding.

In racing terms, 6 years old is getting pretty old and past their prime. Prime is around 4. Most races are 3 year olds

dondena21 it’s very sad but very true

Dark brown is thoroughbred for black. No true blscks in the breed. See Ruffian.

Maynard Runkle the Japanese also eat the race horses when they are done with them ...unbridled was one of them

@Maynard Runkle - You're right. Registered as black. Which is even more odd since he's sired whites. (If I remember correctly.)

Hurrah for inbreeding! Disgusting.

Asta Wolfe you know their are thousands of thoroughbreds who have basically no relation to Tapit?

Secretariat could easily outrun Tapit and then sprint to the finish! That's what he did at belmont.

Yeah especially since so many racehorses that are born aren't considered good enough and if they aren't sold they're slaughtered for meat

What

No, the name is a combination of his dam's name (Tap Your Heels) and his sire's name (Pulpit).

@Lyre Burch You're right breeding a winner is very much luck, but even so, the large majority of top racehorses come from strong bloodlines. There are exceptions -- John Henry and California Chrome, for example, came from modest bloodlines -- but your chances of getting a winner are a whole lot better with a top stallion (and mare). About Tapit you're mistaken. He's proven to have strong genes. His stud fee started out at just $15,000. The first few years of his stud career Tapit would not have received nearly as many mares, nor as strong a lineup of mares, as, say, American Pharoah would have had early on. But Tapit's babies were successful from the first year they hit the track; he had 15 stakes winners in his first crop, which included the 2-yr-old filly champion. He consistently improved on his mares. Year after year he was producing strong crops. That's why his stud fee rose to $300,000 -- a *1900% increase* . (Currently it's $225,000, but he is 18 and his stud career is winding down. He is sire of Tacitus, who will be among this year's Kentucky Derby favorites.) Plenty of stallions who enter stud duty with much higher expectations, who get better mares than Tapit did those first couple of years -- it's at least 3 years after a stud's first breeding season before anyone can begin to have an inkling how he'll do at stud -- do not fare nearly as well as he did/has. More recently Uncle Mo, and further back Mr. Prospector, have had similar arcs to their stud careers. Good but not great racehorses who entered stud with modest expectations, relatively low stud fees and not the best mares, yet very quickly made a big impact in the breeding shed. It happens, just like there are great runners who prove poor or at best mediocre sires, e.g., Citation or Spectacular Bid. (There is a wide perception Secretariat was a poor sire, which is not true. Far from a flop, he was a better than average sire of runners; but despite getting the very best mares early on, he was not a truly outstanding sire of runners like his contemporaries Mr. Prospector, Alydar and Seattle Slew.)

@Lyre Burch I agree there's a huge factor of luck involved. : ) Even the great studs produce a lot of duds.

@Lyre Burch It's knowing which stud lines nick well with which mare lines.

@Lyre Burch bloodlines determines what a horse can be , training determines what he will be , believe me bloodlines has everything to do with it

@Lyre Burch so why is it our colt crop of eight horses all go on to make great rodeo /ranch horses , it isn't luck , its bloodlines , if it were luck it wouldn't be that every horse that leaves our place turns out great , its because my grandfather has spent 50+ years putting good bloodlines together

This entire video is just disgusting, from the narration to content, it's all disturbing.

Alas, not inevitable. But in his case they all came together like a cosmic conjunction.

it’s more than likely not every single day they make him do this

often during breeding season they breed 2 mares a day. He gets the rest of the day to be a horse in his pasture. Then he doesn’t breed from June to February

It doesn't take all day to breed to one mare. Also it's called nature and I'm sure wild horses breed way more than Tapit in a day. Stop anthropomorphizing animals they are not people

@@avaschofield8129 you dont make any sense. Putting them into an area and letting the stallion and mare mate without any human interference is in no way forcing them to match.

rubles so did the male or the female horse say they wanted to be locked in a pen or paddock together? :/

@@avaschofield8129 if they didnt want to breed then they wouldn't, simple as that.

I know this is old, but it's a combination of his parents' names. Pulpit and Tap Your Heels.

But the horses being put down and sent to slaughter aren't usually horses from these stables. Professional stables breed horses for competitions, the horses will be trained after reaching a certain age and those not showing enough skill, will be sold to less professional equestrians for a lesser price and compete in less difficult competitions, while the top horses go to the big tournaments and the olympic games. Horses who are being slaughtered aren't these horses, they're usually horses especially bred for that (which is terribly sad) and population control only applies to wild horses and is common in the US. The center of the equestrian world is in Europe and here, there's neither the so called popualtion control of wild horses in the form of killing them, nor the slaughtering of regular horses, with the exception of France, where certain farms breed horses for their meat. If you have a problem with that, I sincerely hope you're a vegetarian/vegan, because otherwise it wouldn't be justified.

That’s not a bit. It’s a mouth chain because he’s a stallion.

Doesn't breed everyday

He can breed 2-3 mares a day

Generally you want to have foals in the early spring, so you breed at a certain time of year. He's not breeding all year round

Ella breeding season in the northern hemisphere is February - May

@@thatonegirl8975 if hes shuttled to the southern hemisphere he is

Looks likes he's getting a pretty good life to me.

Of course he's treated well. The main owner also breeds a lot of mares to him and races the offspring. The horse is syndicated into shares of ownership. I don't know what percentage ownership the original owner retained. Tapit's owner was the owner of the Winchell's Donuts chain. His son owns and runs the Winchell racing stable now.

I would bet every last dollar I have he is treated like a king, he is the cash cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horse race, and being treated well in the same sentence just proves the ignorance of most posters, here. His offspring is abused for the narcissim of rich folks. Nothing more, nothing less.

Your seven family tree wont see the vagina that this horse saw

It can go in the mouth as well. You hate horse racing because you don’t know all the uses for the stud chain? 😂

This horse is so much though they couldn't handle him any other way and at 20 years of age he hasn't changed any!!! Evidently you've never been around a stallion breeding Mares????

Because he's a breeding stallion thats 10x more powerful than the person holding him.

@Tilly Too May I rest my case

@@phynchen8139 Please don't stop

Welcome to eugenics, the thing that brought about Hitler and forceful sterilisations.

You would be right if he actually was. The old guy said he could breed 2-3/ day but that's bragging, not actual. 125 mares a year is roughly 10 per month, correct?

Believe me breeding that many mares isn't gonna hurt him , we breed quarter horses , we also pasture breed , and our studs breed more mares than that and they are perfectly fine , I think it just depends on their body condition , if their loosing weight than yeah it prob wouldn't be a good idea to do a lot of breeding , but if their in good shape then let them have at it 👍

Ashley’s horses breeding season is only four months long

Bonnie McCormack breeding season is four months long. That’s an average 31.25 mares a month

Nanase B. yes let’s compare humans with animals in this situation

Nanase B. Exactly. I am so tired of hearing how Princess Diana was "only a broodmare". She was well paid and at least she had her children for longer than a few months.

Do not push for racing to be shut down. Hundreds of thousands of horses will end up dead that way, just like how the vast majority of the greyhounds are going to die. Either way, Wolffs law supports that a healthy amount of work on a young animal/human is GOOD because the bones will change how they're growing to adapt to heavier work loads. Those horses are better off starting young, than they are late. They will break down MORE if started late. It's like expecting a kid who has sat in his room for years to be able to do the same amount of work all at once, as the kid who does the same workload every single day and has for years.

@@mistyraestables Uh, no. A *heavy* amount of work(which is what racing is) on a young horse that is still growing is not good for that horse in anyway. Light riding to build some bone strength is different than racing. It's just like the controversy that has started about reining. Many horse's started for shows are usually retired by 6 due to injuries, while horse's that were started at 4+ years of age would stay sound and would retire in their 20's. Ideally, the horse's should be started between 4-5 years old then hit the track around 6 years old and you could have an animal that was much healthier, did not broke down at a young age, doesn't face the same injury rate, have a better chance of rehab after the track and would have a much longer race life But, money talks

There is LITERALLY a scientific law supporting it.

@@mistyraestables No, there is a law supporting that bones in a healthy human or animal will adapt to loads under which it is placed over time which is significant for health as you get older past your time as stopping physical activities can make your bones weaker which can lead to more problems as you get older. Wollfs Law does not support the loading of young bones that still have much growing to do, nor does it mention anything about young and growing animals for a reason. *It's talking about healthy adults.* There is much scientific evidence supporting the claim that loading growing bones at a young age is very detrimental, such as deformed feet after going on pointe too early for a small example. A horses spinal joints(the back), doesn't receive full strength until around 6 years of age. *You are going to tell me that it is a good idea to overload the spinal joints on a two year old horse that are only at 33% growth that is not even designed for supporting vertical forces such as a rider then having the horse do hard work will "Make Their Bones Strong"?* Ha! If you are ignorant enough to believe that over scientific research and proof then you are too stupid for me to waste my time on

Karen Baker According to what I have read about horses, they don't actually reach full maturity until about 7 years old and, if I remember correctly, Thoroughbreds don't stop growing until the age of 8 years old. There are many horses used in racing that don't live to see their 7th or 8th birthday, as I'm sure you know.

@@montanawarren8462 Largest heart? Secretariat's heart was 2 and a half times larger then a normal horses heart. And it weighed up to 22 lbs. Get your facts right.

@@glenlynch1 There's no reason to mention Northern Dancer in this video because he died in 1990. For pedigree purposes Tapit only has one cross of Northern Dancer because the 2nd cross is in the 6th generation. Tapit does have two crosses of his son, Nijinsky Ii that are closer. However, for influence on the pedigree I'd say the two crosses of Mr. Prospector are probably more influential for American racing on the dirt.

@@phant0m_sn1per Correct, Northern Dancer didn't have the large heart gene. He was on the small side for a Thoroughbred overall.

you do realize a horse worth $100 thousand dollars wouldn’t be “shipped off to slaughter”, right? If a horse with this good of a pedigree with this sire wasn’t a good racehorse, it would be turned around and trained for hunter/jumper or dressage and then sold for its worth. Only low pedigree racehorses that aren’t worth that much get shipped to slaughter.

Sarah Monson wrong only a handful of horses become good racehorses and the majority become” claimers” racing in claiming races in which they can be claimed for certain price. Some are rescued and retrained for other horse sports or rescued and retired. And some do get sent to slaughter.

Yeah, yeah. And whatta think happens if racing is stopped? Hundreds to thousands of Thoroughbreds would be sent to slaughter. Happened a few years ago where I lived & they closed the track - every single broodmare & foal that couldn't be sold slaughtered. Besides the breed would eventually be threatened as racing is what they're bred for. All in all they're predominantly inferior to warmbloods as jumpers, they can be too high strung/temperament as riding horses, they aren't bred for the agreeability or intelligence of dressage or cattle herding horses, they don't have the strength to be driving horses, etc. So what do you suggest they do if racing is banned? Become expensive lawn ornaments?

Not true at all. The large large large majority of retired thoroughbreds either live their days out in a pasture, go to the breeding shed, or given a second career entirely. The Jockey Club has very strict rules preventing OTTBs from going to slaughter. There are some that slip by, but not very many whatsoever. Learn the facts before spewing nonsense 🙄

Saying a ton of thoroughbreds go to slaughter is an agenda pushed by PETA. PETA euthanizes 95%+ of the animals they take in, because theyd rather animals die out... so I wouldnt exactly take facts by them 🙄

That was 20 years ago. Grow up and let it go. Ferdinand wasn’t even slaughtered by racing anyway. He was sold as a riding horse then slaughtered second hand. If you want to cry - know your facts

That's a ridiculous comment. At the time of this video he was pulling in $35 million a year in stud fees. No horse like that is ever going to go to slaughter. He's earned enough to guarantee a nice retirement for every horse on that farm.

Savagecat 96 it's a stud chain. most stallions can be hard to handle at times, especially around mares. the influence from their hormones can cause them to not respect the halter at times, so the stud chain is used for control in such a situation.

Savagecat 96 there’s nothing wrong with doing that. It’s from the safety of his handlers

You admit to knowing nothing about horses, but that does not stop you from making a snarky comment on a horse video 🙄.

@@rustyshackleford5366 I was under the impression, that we all had a right to free speach and our own opinion. You seem to think otherwise, but thank you for your opinion.

If it was so uncomfortable, then Tapit wouldn’t put the chain in his mouth himself (as he’s known to do). It’s for control because he’s a stallion

@@meganproffitt424 I did not know that, thank you for explaining that to me.

His libido is still good at 20 and I do not believe he is retired they're still making money off of him, but his stud fee's not $300,000 anymore it's more like $200, $225... He's had one of his falls when a triple crown race all but the Kentucky Derby and the favorite in the Kentucky Derby this year is his son Essential Quality so I'd say he's still well worth the money!

Did you do any research? American Pharoah isn't even in the top 500 studs in the world, and definitely doesn't come close to Tapit. He was a disappointment as a sire, there's a reason his stud fee went from $250,000 to now $80,000.

He’s descended from Secretariat I believe

Yes, and from Triple Crown Winner Seattle Slew also, whose direct sire line he descends from. Seattle Slew is in his 3rd generation back as his great-grandsire. Secretariat is in his 4th generation as the damsire (or broodmare sire) of Tapit's grandsire, AP Indy, who was a very successful son of Seattle Slew out of a Secretariat mare.
