[edit] Pedigree
Tiznow, bred in California by the late Cecelia Straub Rubens, is out of the Seattle Song mare Cee's Song. His sire is Cee's Tizzy. He was trained by Jay Robbins and ridden by Chris McCarron.
[edit] Racing
Tiznow was noted for his incredible toughness on the dirt. In fifteen starts, Tiznow won 8 times, placed 4 times, and came in third twice. Over his career he won $6,427,830.
At 3, he won the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), beating Irish champion Giant's Causeway, Kentucky Derby winner, Fusaichi Pegasus, and Lemon Drop Kid. He also won the Super Derby (G1), Goodwood Breeders' Cup Handicap (G2), Affirmed Handicap (G3), and was second in the Pacific Classic Stakes (G1) and Swaps Stakes (G1).
When he was 4, he again won the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), beating Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Sakhee. He also won the Santa Anita Handicap (G1), the San Fernando Breeders' Cup Stakes (G2), placed in the Strub Stakes (G2), and was third in the Woodward Stakes (G1) and the Goodwood Breeders' Cup (G2).
[edit] At stud
At stud his fee is relatively low ($40,000 live foal) as his pedigree is unusual for a great horse; he is one of the few modern thoroughbreds whose sire line does not end at the Darley Arabian, ending instead at the Godolphin Arabian. (However, his full brother Budroyale also came second in the Breeders' Cup Classic.) Tiznow nonetheless has made a reasonably promising start to his career as a stallion. As a freshman sire, Tiznow has sired 2005 Eclipse Award champion juvenile filly Folklore, who won the 2005 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
[edit] Awards
- Eclipse Award, Champion Three-Year-Old Male of the year in 2000.
- Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year in 2000.
- Only two-time winner of the Breeder's Cup Classic...2000 and 2001.
