Cont. from p1 AAwesome Maria was able to beat Royal Delta in Florida, so when she is on top of her game, she is as good as any filly in the country,@ affirmed Pletcher. AIf there was a quality race to stay at Saratoga, but unfortunately, the stakes schedule has been shifted around and there is really not a meaningful at Saratoga at the moment, and that=s why the Delaware H. became attractive for her.@ Awesome Maria, who has been stabled at Saratoga since last month, posted a bullet five-panel work over the main track in 1:00 1/5 July 9 before completing the same task in 1:00 flat July 15. The latter was the fifth fastest out of 27 moves that day. AShe has trained really well since the Ogden Phipps,@ confirmed Pletcher. AThis time, everything has gone according to plan. We haven=t had to juggle our work schedule around the rain and such, and we were able to do exactly what we wanted to do. Her last two breezes were exceptional and she=s telling us that she=s ready to perform to her capabilities, which she would certainly need to do with the quality of a filly like Royal Delta in there.@ Smith is equally respectful of her chief competition Saturday. AShe is a very nice filly in her own right and she=s already shown that,@ said Smith of Awesome Maria. AI don=t believe Royal Delta ran her best race [in the Sabin], but she will have to bring her >A= game to outrun that filly.@ While Awesome Maria has yet to attempt the 10- furlong distance, Royal Delta has already earned her stripes over the trip, having won Saratoga=s marquee event for fillies, the Alabama. AI think the mile and a quarter is right up her alley,@ confirmed Smith. AShe will be forwardly placed and she usually puts herself into the race. As long as I get her to relax and get into her rhythm early on, the mile and a quarter shouldn=t be a problem.@ Pletcher, an eight-time leading trainer at Saratoga, indicated he will also enter Love and Pride (A.P. Indy). AWe=ve been blessed with high-quality fillies that have been able to handle the 1 1/4-mile distance and the Delaware surface,@ said Pletcher, who has already won the Del >Cap four times. AIt=s been a good race to us over the years.@ Campaigned by Green Hills Farm, Love and Pride won the nine-furlong GIII Obeah S. over the track June 16. AThe Obeah is a prep that we=ve used successfully for this race in the past,@ Pletcher noted. AFleet Indian and Unbridled Belle and Irving=s Baby all used the Obeah as a prep for the Del >Cap. She had some success at that venue last year and seems to like the surface [an eight- length allowance winner last July]. The real key will be if she can handle the added furlong. But the fact that she=s been good at Delaware before gives us a reason for optimism that she will be able to handle the added distance.@--CBoss

FARHH TO FACE FRANKEL Godolphin's Farhh (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) will be supplemented for the G1 Sussex S. at Goodwood, Racing Manager Simon Crisford announced yesterday. Following the 4-year-old's third in the G1 Prince of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot June 20 and second in last Saturday's G1 Eclipse S. at Sandown, connections have opted to drop back to a mile and take on Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). "The timing of the race is perfect, three weeks and a few days after his excellent second in the Coral-Eclipse," Crisford explained. "I asked Sheikh Mohammed what his preferred option was, the Sussex S., in which he could come second to Frankel if not win, or the Jacques le Marois at Deauville. He said >I want to go to Goodwood.= Farhh is in great form and doing really well--let's hope he runs up to his best." Speaking via the telephone to the Glorious Goodwood press conference, Khalid Abdullah's Racing Manager Lord Grimthorpe responded to the news by saying, "Frankel is definitely going to be the horse to beat--there is no doubt about that--but he still has to put his best foot forward. It's good news that Godolphin will supplement Farhh. We respect him, as he was unlucky at Royal Ascot and ran a super race at Sandown in the Eclipse, so he is a very legitimate horse."

Omission: Last week=s TDN preview of the Arqana August Yearling Sale omitted, in a story about the sale=s yearlings by U.S.-based sires, Hip 384, a colt by the late Dixie Union from Haras du Ma. TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 7/18/12 • PAGE 8 of 11 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

>TWAS THEN; TIZNOW In the constant worldwide search for >outcross lines=-- meaning, usually, not Northern Dancer or Mr. Prospector--three names stand out: Sunday Silence (Hail to Reason line) in Japan; A.P. Indy (Seattle Slew/Bold Ruler) in North America; and Monsun (the non-Phalaris Blandford line) in Germany. Sunday Silence, of course, rules Japan, and when you realize that his son Deep Impact has just 4-year-olds and is already being talked about as his sire=s best son, there=s no doubt that line will be flourishing for some time to come. A.P. Indy is all over American pedigrees, though Monsun=s longer-term influence is open to debate. I would say the Fappiano line, which includes Unbridled, has well and truly branched off from Mr. Prospector and is an American line of its own. The best hope of a non-Phalaris outcross line in the U.S. now is probably not Ribot or Princequillo--both great influences of yesteryear--but Tiznow, a California-bred grandson of Relaunch (himself by In Reality) by the obscure Cee=s Tizzy out of a Seattle Song mare, Cee=s Song, both evidently named after Tiznow=s breeder, the late Cecelia Straub Rubens. It=s actually kind of ironic to refer to Tiznow as an In Reality-line sire. Relaunch was himself an untypical In Reality, who characteristically sired a smaller, speedier type, which wouldn=t describe Tiznow at all--quite the opposite, in fact. Tiznow measures 16.3 hands and sires big and scopey, like himself--that big, American dirt type. A top young sire who for me actually throws more like In Reality is Tapit, who is by A.P. Indy=s son Pulpit, but whose third dam, Moon Glitter, was by In Reality and was, coincidentally, a full-sister to Relaunch. Maybe it=s the class coming through, though in different shapes and by different paths. Moreover, Tiznow himself is actually inbred 4x4 to none other than Northern Dancer through his sire Cee=s Tizzy=s damsire Lyphard and his second dam Lonely Dancer, who was by an early Canadian-bred son of Northern Dancer named Nice Dancer. None of these details are preventing Tiznow from working as a sire with America=s most prevalent lines, anyway: over two-thirds (29) of his 42 >unique= (counted once) A Runners through the end of 2011 were out of either Native Dancer or Northern Dancer-line mares. He also seems to work just fine with another cross of Seattle Slew. Trained by Jay Robbins for the Cees Stable, Tiznow made 15 starts at three and four--nine as a 3-year-old in 2000 and six as a 4-year-old in 2001. He was out of the first three only once in his first and only start under a mile, a six-furlong maiden race at Santa Anita. TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 7/18/12 • PAGE 9 of 11 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

He broke his maiden in his third start over 1 1/16 miles at Hollywood Park, and immediately Weekly Sales Ticker stepped into graded stakes company, edging out Dixie by Bill Oppenheim Union by a neck at 10-1 odds in the GIII Affirmed H. at 1 1/16 miles. He was then second to Captain Steve in “Though Tattersalls’ July sale was down this year, that is a the GI Swaps (Tiznow=s Beyer 107), and second against mixed sale with a lot of racehorses. The number sold so far older horses, to Skimming, in the GI Pacific Classic at the North American and European 2012 sales we cover (Tiznow=s Beyer 115) the first time he was ridden by is down three percent, but the gross is up by 21% from last Chris McCarron, who rode him for the rest of his career. year, to $236.8-million, and the average is up 17%, to The Breeders Cup was at Churchill Downs in 2000. $44,918.

He had his final Breeders= Cup prep in the then GII Goodwood H. back at Santa Anita, where he went off at 6-5 and ran a Beyer 119 to defeat Captain Steve by a half length. Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus went off as the 6-5 favorite in the GI Breeders= Cup Classic, but really never figured, and Tiznow, at 9-1, ran a Beyer 116 to defeat Giant=s Causeway, who came into the race having his five-race Group 1 win skein brought to a halt by Observatory in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II S. in his previous start. Giant=s Causeway was a 13-2 chance in his first and only career start on dirt. Captain Steve was third, followed by Albert the Great and Lemon Drop Kid, with Fusaichi Pegasus checking in sixth. Tiznow returned to defend his title at Belmont Park in 2001, having recorded a 2-2-1 record in five Grade TATTERSALLS JULY SALE (IN GUINEAS) I/Grade II races that year, his best effort coming when CAT RING SOLD %W/D %S/R %S/C GROSS AVG he won the GI Santa Anita H. with a Beyer 117.

Galileo was only sixth in his final career start before going on to be (a few years later) the world=s number one sire. Tiznow retired to WinStar Farm, which bought into him along with Taylor Made Farm, for the 2002 season.
