Pedigree
In Disarm, we see one of the most commercially potent "nicks" in the modern Stud Book: Gun Runner over a Tapit mare. This cross has already produced elite runners like Champion Echo Zulu and G1 winner Society.
Breeding Analysis for Disarm
Disarm is an exciting young stallion, foaled in 2020, sired by Gun Runner out of Easy Tap by Tapit. His racing career has been impressive, earning TDN Rising Star status and notable performances including a fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Derby and strong placings in the GI Travers and GII Louisiana Derby. He accumulated career earnings of $1,697,565 and posted an Equibase Speed Figure of 107.
He is set to begin his stud career at Hidden Lake Farm in 2026, with an initial stud fee of $7,500. Significantly, Disarm is the first son of Gun Runner to stand in New York, which is a notable aspect for breeders targeting that region.
From a pedigree perspective, Disarm offers a compelling combination of speed and stamina. The cross of Gun Runner’s brilliance with Tapit’s stamina influence via Easy Tap creates a versatile genetic profile. This makes Disarm a strong option for mares that have solid female families and possibly add complementary speed influences.
Choosing mares that can balance Disarm’s conformation and that come from different sire lines will be key to producing a strong nick. This approach will maximize genetic diversity and enhance the likelihood of producing high-quality offspring with both racing ability and market appeal.
For a tailored analysis, please provide details about your mare’s pedigree and race record so I can offer the best mating recommendations.
