$550,000 colt for Tiznow at F-T Gulfstream sale

Champion sire Tiznow’s first 2-year-old at auction in 2018 brought a winning bid of $550,000 during the March 28th Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale of 2-year-olds.

Robert and Lawana Low were the winning bidders for hip No. 52, who was consigned by Q Bar J Thoroughbreds. The bay colt comes from a stellar female family. His third dam is Weekend Surprise, dam of A. P. Indy, Summer Squall and his second dam Welcome Surpise, who produced seven foals, all winners.

On the racetrack this year, Tiznow’s 3-year-olds have been in the spotlight, with the colt Sporting Chance on the Kentucky Derby (G1) trail, while Red Ruby is eyeing the Kentucky Oaks (G1).
