California Stallion Tizbud, Full-Brother To Tiznow, Dies At 21

Harris Farms resident stallion Tizbud, a Grade 1 sire and full-brother to Hall of Famer Tiznow, was euthanized on July 20 due to an overall decline in health. He was 21.

Tizbud was pensioned at the farm, in 2018, where he was foaled, raised, and stood at stud.

Tizbud, was bred by Cecilia Straub Rubens and is a son of Cee's Tizzy out of Cee's Song. He was the younger stakes-winning full-brother to Tiznow. Tizbud raced for Cee's Stable LLC when he won the 2003 California Cup Classic by three lengths and placed in that year's Grade 2 San Fernando Breeders' Cup Stakes. He was trained by John Sadler.

Owner Pamela C. Ziebarth stood Tizbud at Harris Farms and for her, as breeder, Tizbud sired Grade 1 winner Tiz Flirtatious, Grade 3 winner Ambitious Brew, and stakes winner Kitty Boom Boom. For other breeders, he sired stakes winners Soi Phet, Italian Boy, Catch Lorraine, and Chao Chom, among others.

David McGlothlin, retired farm manager of Harris Farms, said: “As different as they were, Tiznow and Tizbud both had that aura of 'I am tops and I can prove it and don't test me.' With my daily rounds at the farm, Tizbud was always my first stop and as always, he was eager for his carrot snacks. With his passing, this marks the end of a significant era in California breeding/racing. Tizbud will always have a special place in my heart and at the farm.”

Tizbud lived out his final few months in the same paddock where his famous brother was raised. He will be buried adjacent to his sire Cee's Tizzy near the Harris Farms Stallion complex.

Two-Time Breeders’ Cup Winner Conduit Dies At Age 15

Conduit, twice the winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita Park, died after a short illness at Tullyraine House Stud in Northern Ireland, Racing Post reports.

The 15-year-old son of Dalakhani was the only Thoroughbred stallion in Northern Ireland at the time of his death, having moved to Tullyraine House Stud in 2016 after standing the first six seasons of his stallion career at Big Red Farm in Japan.

Conduit was a globetrotter for trainer Sir Michael Stoute and owner/breeder Ballymacoll Stud, but his two stops in the U.S. were both successful. Following a win in the 2008 English St. Leger Stakes, Conduit tested the 2008 Breeders' Cup Turf and won by a length and a half. The effort earned him the Eclipse Award as that year's champion turf male.

He picked up a win in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes during the Royal Ascot meet the following year, and he ran fourth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, which propelled him into the 2009 Breeders' Cup Turf as a heavy favorite. Conduit ran down pacesetter Presious Passion to win by a half-length. The horse added one more stamp to his passport in his final career start, finishing fourth in the G1 Japan Cup.

In total, Conduit retired with seven wins in 15 starts for earnings of $5,815,813.

Conduit proved to be quite versatile with his Japanese-born runners, siring stakes-caliber runners on both the flat and over the jumps. He was used primarily as a National Hunt sire at Tullyraine House Stud.
