Tapit Shoes Horse Trainer and Jockey

Tapit Shoes is trained by Brad Cox. Cox was well-represented at the 2022 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland and scored a victory in the two-day event with perhaps the unlikeliest of his starters when 42-1 longshot Caravel went wire-to-wire to win the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint. Jose Ortiz will be riding Tapit Shoes. In 2022, Ortiz continued to build a career worthy of eventual consideration for the Racing Hall of Fame. He tallied significant stakes wins with Letruska, Simplification, Obligatory, Regal Glory, and Jack Christopher, and he earned his second win in a Triple Crown race aboard Early Voting in the Preakness Stakes.
