Fu...Giant's Causeway v Tiznow two iron horses.<br /><br />Funny you mention Tiznow eyeballing "The Iron Horse" as Kevin Darley in the QEII (Mile G1) deliberately attacked wide and late on Observatory as he was scared of Giant's habit of fighting back. 2 Titans battling it out and Sahkee was no back number for a turf bred.<br /><br />It's why we love the game watching the stars grind each other into the dirt (literally). <br /><br />I like horse safety but a synth race is not the epic battle where horses blast ludicrous fractions and hang on.bedfonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734407435275515547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-57570356951144979092010-09-10T08:41:06.059-05:002010-09-10T08:41:06.059-05:00I still don't think Tiznow gets the credit he ...I still don't think Tiznow gets the credit he deserves. I mean he won two great Classic's in a row against the best of the world.

He was indeed one of the most courageous I've ever seen! He's also one of my all time favorites! As for the pedigree, he is a direct male decendant of Man O War through Relaunch. I'm certainly no expert, but I believe he inherited a good portion of those genes and now is passing them along to his offspring.Sharon Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-39876737000780217192010-09-09T18:27:10.520-05:002010-09-09T18:27:10.520-05:00Interesting info Marti ...

Not a Belichick fan, but clearly he is a sharp man.Brian Zipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592017304873334271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-4645329308251118842010-09-09T18:17:58.906-05:002010-09-09T18:17:58.906-05:00Obviously, by my self imposed nickname on fb, you ...Obviously, by my self imposed nickname on fb, you can tell he is one of my favorites...lol Tiznow exemplifies the true meaning of heart just as you mentioned Brian. One of my greatest experiences was visiting Winstar last year, and before visiting with him they show his BCC's back to back. By the second one I had tears rolling down my face. He is one of the most put together horses I have ever seen in person. This horse pulled on a lot of emotions for me and I still watch his two classics to draw inspiration from...heck if The NE Patriots coach used it as inspiration to his team, it must be good!Silent Sundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767966715650118420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-44797826922776552072010-09-09T18:07:36.692-05:002010-09-09T18:07:36.692-05:00I could watch his BCC's for days.

He know where the camera is, and will hold the most striking, stauesque poses for as long as that camera is pointed at him. I have been fortunate enough to visit with him several times at Winstar (what a fantastic place, and people!), and his presence is undeniable, and not just due to his sheer size!<br /><br />I also enjoying telling race fans outside of CA, when they're getting just a wee bit too arrogant about their racing being better than CA..."Yeah? Call me when your state gets a two-time BCC winner!"...all in good fun, LOL, but it ends the debate every time ;-)~Martinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000505714543202206.post-83340296449346416942010-09-09T16:32:08.432-05:002010-09-09T16:32:08.432-05:00He was a spectacular racehorse!!
