Tapit Trice rallied late to finish third in his career debut Nov. 6, 2022, at Aqueduct in a one-mile race. He earned a hard-fought win in his second start by outlasting Slip Mahoney to prevail by a neck Dec. 17 on a muddy track at Aqueduct for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher.
Pletcher shipped him to Florida for the winter and he won his first start as a 3-year-old by eight lengths after stalking the pace in another one-mile race, this time at Gulfstream Park Feb. 3, 2023.

The eye-catching gray or roan colt by leading sire Tapit made his stakes debut March 11 in the $400,000 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby, a qualifying race for the 2023 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve. Tapit Trice got off to a slow start and trailed the 12-horse field early, however, he uncoiled a sustained rally after a sweeping bid into the stretch to complete a last-to-first rally under Luis Saez. The 50 points toward qualifying for the Kentucky Derby virtually guaranteed Tapit Trice a start spot in the run for the roses on May 6 at Churchill Downs.
Mandy Pope of Whisper Hill Farm purchased Tapit Trice for $1.3 million at the 2021 Keeneland September yearling sale from the consignment of breeders Gainesway Farm. After the purchase, Gainseway maintained an interest in the high-priced yearling. Multiple stakes winner Danzatrice, by Dunkirk, is the dam (mother) of Tapit Trice. Danzatrice is a half-sister (same dam, different sire) to 2018 champion 2-year-old filly Jaywalk.
