Tappan Street (foaled February 24, 2022) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Grade I Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park in 2025 as a three-year-old.[2]
Background
[edit]Tappan Street is a bay colt bred in Kentucky by Blue Heaven Farm. His sire is Into Mischief and his dam is Virginia Key who was sired by Distorted Humor.[3]
Tappan Street was purchased as a yearling for $1 million at the 2023 edition of Fasig-Tipton's The Saratoga Sale by China Horse Club, Siena Farm, and Maverick Racing. The colt was to be named after Siena Farm's owner Anthony Manganaro, who died in August 2023, just two weeks after the colt was purchased, but the name had been taken, and the connections chose to name the colt after the street on which Manganaro grew up.[3]
Tappan Street became the 23rd Grade I winner for six-time leading sire Into Mischief, who stands at Spendthrift Farm near Lexington, Kentucky, for an advertised fee of $250,000.[3]
Career
[edit]One week before the Kentucky Derby while training suffered a condylar fracture and was not entered in the event.[4]
