Tiznow colt drills a quarter-mile in :20 3/5

A colt by Tiznow, cataloged as Hip No. 78, drilled a quarter-mile in :20 3/5,

the fastest work at the distance in Sunday's under tack show for the February 28

Fasig-Tipton Calder Selected Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale. Consigned by Hoby

and Layna Kight, agent, the bay Kentucky-bred juvenile is the first foal from

the winning Hennessy mare Evil, who is a full sister to stakes winner Handsome

Hunk and a half-sister to Prussian Blue (Polish Navy), the 1997 Carleton F.

Burke H. (G2) winner and a multiple stakes victor in France. The Tiznow colt was

purchased by Don Mattox for $200,000 at last year's Keeneland September Yearling

Sale.

A total of thirteen runners claimed the fastest one furlong move in :10 1/5,

with two of those working on the turf. Posting that time on the main track were Hips 52 and 63, both colts by Orientate;

Hip 57, a Distorted Humor colt; Hip 61, a Buddha colt; Hip 74,

a filly by El Corredor; Hip 108, a filly by Grand Slam; Hip 124, a colt by Dixie Union;

Hip 149, a colt by Include; Hip 185, a Minardi colt; Hip 191, a colt by Yonaguska; and Hip 266, a

colt by Silver Deputy. The turf workers were Hip 212, a Pulpit filly, and

Hip 242, an Unbridled's Song colt.

The sale's top one furlong move was registered in last week's under tack show, when

Hip 153, a son of Forestry, stopped the timer in a swift :9 4/5. Last week's

best quarter-mile time was :21 1/5, turned in by Hip 233, an El Corredor colt,

and Hip 274, a filly by Songandaprayer.

A total of 308 juveniles are catalogued for the sale, which commences on

Tuesday at 11 a.m. (EST).
