GOLDEN TAPIT (c, 4, Tapit–Fun House {Broodmare Of The Year, GSW, $432,922}, by Prized) was off the board in his main track debut for trainer Christophe Clement June 20 and was subsequently transferred to Brendan Walsh. Switched to the grass, he won a nine-panel event here Feb. 8 and was favored at 9-5 to repeat here. Racing in mid-pack through a :22.33 first quarter and :45.62 half, the chestnut launched a three-wide bid turning for home. Golden Tapit took control in early stretch and bounded clear to win by 2 1/2 lengths over Kid Bourbon (Lemon Drop Kid). The winner is a full to Untapable, Ch. 3-year-old Filly, MGISW, $3,926,625; and a half to  Paddy O'Prado (El Prado (IRE)), GISW, $1,721,297. Fun House's only foal since the winner is a 2019 colt by Gun Runner. This is also the family of Grade I winners Tapizar (Tapit) and Pyro (Pulpit). Sales history: $275,000 Ylg '17 KEESEP.
