What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Tiznow...

The New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl for the fifth time since 2002, which means it is time once again to resurrect the story of how a Thoroughbred racehorse inspired the Pats and, whether a mere coincidence or not, helped build a dynasty in the early 2000s.The Thoroughbred… Read More

  • racingrooter · I'm with winplaceshow. I think Ghostzapper is the best horse of the 20th century thus far. There are some other great horses mentioned here, but GZ would have left them all eating his dirt. · 12 days ago ·

Where have those 120 Beyer horses gone? I miss them. You should, too. When I broached the subject of this column to Andrew Beyer, he said it was going to be depressing reading. True enough, but also, hopefully, educational. I have questions. Perhaps, somebody has answers. Read More

  • shadowno · The level playing field not my comment, but with regard to the surface, geography played a part given the tracks proximity to the San Gabriel mountains. Heavy rains and flooding/runoff from the mountains washed away part of the pro-ride surface in 2009-10 costing them racing days and $$$$$. Also, I don't believe it ever drained as advertised like the cushion track that cost multiple dates in 08.. It was a safer surface for horses, by reported fatilities, signifigantly so, even factoring in the lost days. But here (probably even more here given the state budget and miserable economy), as everywhere $$$$ talks and a closed track can't produce revenue. And with Awesome Gem that 1 win happened to be the Hollywood Gold Cup and he produced clutch efforts in the Pacific Classic, San Antonio and Goodwood in over synthetics so I'll give him credit for his ability to handle prety much anything thrown his way. · 63 days ago ·

  • footlick · the other problem with the Pro-Ride surface at Santa Anita was that they never cleared out the former surfaces completely when installing and then reinstalling the Pro-Ride, so it was never a pure surface to begin with and that added to it's instability · 63 days ago ·

The New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick was in search of something inspirational to encourage his losing football team. He showed his team a replay of the 2001 Breeders’ Cup Classic with Tiznow denying that year’s Arc winner, Sakhee, the victory. The Patriots went on to win the 2002 Super Bowl.

Racing needs to bring its head out of the sand and into the light. The leaders of this sport need to make sure that it is not being cheapened and stand up and fight for what will improve it, rather than let others make decisions that just lead the sport deeper into oblivion.Read More

How is this horse not higher in the rankings? Tiznow has done what no other horse has been able to do, win not one but TWO BC Classics. These races werent against anything inferior, either. He gave us gutwrenching, mindblowing finishes and he still isn't garnering the respect he deserves. The people that said he was nothing as a racehorse grumbled after he proved them wrong. Then they said he wasn't going to be a sire... and he continues to prove them wrong. Tiznow you are everything a horse should be, and in my heart, deserving of AT LEAST a top 100 spot!

  • ruffian75 · Yes, I also agree. And to think that he got his glory despite sidestepping the Triple Crown. That must be the key. If you don't run in the Triple Crown, you are penalized. Tiznow was, and is, a great horse. · 236 days ago ·

Bethany (Dayjur-Willamae, by Tentam), the dam of Met Mile (G1) winner Tizway, had good reasons for failing to produce a foal of any merit until her sixth season as a broodmare–I mean, besides her body refusing to cooperate in her fourth and fifth seasons. Or maybe she…Read More
  • xMystix · Haha! This is quite a hilarious read. Hopefully, Bethany will find success again with Tiznow. If I read this piece correctly, she went back to Tiznow in 2010, so she should have foaled sometime this year? Does anyone know? · 251 days ago ·
