Indy coming out in him because Pulpit sure doesn&#39;t seem to sire distance. &nbsp;The time for the Alabama was nothing special, but they all had to run the race and Careless Jewel did it best. &nbsp;Tapit is a handsome horse and hopefully this fast start will bring better mares to his court.</p> <img src="http://cs.bloodhorse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=67265" width="1" height="1">
