Do we have any good sons of Tiznow left standing here in the US?
Feels like Korea snapped up most of his best sons, like Tizway, Tiz Wonderful and Colonel John.
I think Tizdejavu is still here, but has he had any success?
He has some sons in the regional market. I wouldn't go as far as calling any of them good though. Tourist was his only one on the 2023 General Sires List and he was around 120th. According to Bloodhorse, Tiznow has 2 that haven't had foals to race yet. Tour de Force who stands in Alberta, Canada has 10 2yos in his first crop. Tizamagician stood his first year in 2023 but only got 12 mares. He has some grandsons in regional markets as well.
Tizdejavu was pensioned in 2018.
The entire Godolphin Arabian sire line is in dire straits overall, not just Tiznow's line. There are some representatives here and there around the world but its not good. Its in better shape than the Byerly Turk line but its going that way.
Losing Irap in 2017 really stank. I'd had high hopes both that he might make a good 4-year-old and that he'd do well at stud, being a half brother to Speightstown.
May be some hope for survival of the Man o' War male line in Brazil, where Put It Back was a multiple champion sire; his champion son Pimper's Paradise (gag, I hate that name) is in the stud now. Gemologist is in Chile and has been a top-ten sire there for the last four years, but I think most of his best have been fillies. Honour and Glory sired several Group 1 winners in Argentina, but none of them have shown much as sires so far.
Irap and Midnight Bourbon were both huge losses.
Gemologist was sold to South Korea in 2021. Is Dennis' Moment at stud? I swear he went to stud in 2023 but he doesn't have a RMB and it says his DNA kit was resent but not returned yet. I don't think he showed up when I looked up Tiznow sons on Bloodhorse's stallion register.
There are a couple from the Diktat/Warning/Known Fact/In Reality line in Europe in Dream Ahead and a few of his sons, G1SWs Al Wukair and Donjuan Triumphant. Really hoping that some breeders decided to use Dream Ahead more after he got MG1s Glass Slippers and Dream of Dreams.
Bertrando has a son in California, Tamarando, who is doing okay for a regional sire, he just hasn't been used much. He has 4 SWs from 63 foals of racing age, in 5 crops(including current 2yos).
Bal A Bali is in Kentucky but well. Calumet so enough said.
