Ziebarth Homebred Filly ‘Sharp’ On Churchill Debut

7th-Churchill Downs, $115,095, Msw, 5-2, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:09.85, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
SWEET AZTECA (f, 3, Sharp Azteca–So Sweetitiz {MSW, $180,480}, by Grand Slam) trained forwardly ahead of this debut, both at the Trackside training center and over the local strip, and was bet down from 8-1 to be off at just over 9-2 on debut. Hustled along to dispute the early pace through a quarter-mile in :20.82, the homebred grey maintained a narrow advantage as they raced around the turn. Bracing for an outside challenge from fellow firster Little Prankster (Practical Joke) and a rails rally from Generous Lover (Bolt d'Oro), Sweet Azteca pulled out more in the final furlong and went on to take it by 2 1/4 lengths. The first foal to race out of her dam, a two-time stakes winner over turf sprint trips, Sweet Azteca hails from the female family of dual GI Breeders' Cup Classic hero Tiznow (Cee's Tizzy) and his graded-stakes winning full-siblings Budroyale and Tizbud. So Sweetitiz is also the dam of a 2-year-old filly by Dialed In, a yearling colt by Mucho Macho Man and was most recently bred to Tonalist. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $69,000.

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.
