HORSE OF THE YEAR RETIRED FROM STUD DUTIES 22 Oct 2020 11:08
As major farms are
announcing stud fees for their 2021 rosters at this time of the year, the
retirement from stud duty of 23-year-old Tiznow is of note in the Oct. 21
WinStar Farm release.
The remarkable son of
Cee’s Tizzy is not only the single two-time Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) winner,
but the super-sized Cal-bred has been a cornerstone of the WinStar stallion
roster for nearly two decades, siring 79 black-type winners.
North America’s Horse
Of The Year in 2000, Tiznow is the only horse ever to win two runnings of the
G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic, with the son of Cee’s Tizzy victorious in both 2000
and 2001.
Retired to stud in
2002, Tiznow has sired a host of G1 winners including Folklore, Da’ Tara, Well
Armed, Tourist, Strong Mandate, Sporting Chance, Colonel John, Tiz Miz Sue,
Bullsbay, and Morning Line.
Broodmare sire of
this season’s star 3yo Tiz The Law, Tiznow has numerous sons at stud in North
America including Tourist, Strong Mandate, and Sporting Chance.
