Tiznow - 2001 BC Classic (NBC pre-race, race & post race)

[@Midwest_Racing]

I probably rewatch both of Tiznow's BC wins several times a year and they never fail to give me chills and a thrill at the same time. He's absolutely one of the best horses of recent times to race...Watching his stretch runs and seeing his grit and heart leaves little doubt that he's stamped his foals. Colonel John is very much his father's son. Thanks so much for posting this!

Tiznow - one of the more underappreciated horses of my lifetime...

[@wrenster34]

Simply the best race I have ever seen in racing and to know I was there that day to watch my all time favorite horse and nail the exacta and the win ticket was simply special and for it be in New York and Durkin's call "Tiznow wins it for America" was why I love horse racing and my second all time favorite horse Xtra Heat who gave a wonderful account of herself in the sprint that year. WONDERFUL!!!

That tribute; I didn't even know about that (that was before I got into horse racing) but I felt ssoooooooooooooooo sad! I hope Mrs. Straub-Rubens was watching from the heavens when Tiznow made history! What a good horse!

[@TheProfessorOfLife]

Tiznow was an afterthought in the pre-race coverage. All of the talk was about Sakhee and Aptitude and other horses. Tiznow is all heart, and a beautiful horse.

This horse looked as if he was done at the 1/4 pole, but he just would not quit! You'll notice inside the 1/16, Tiznow emptied the tank. picking up his knees just a little higher and tried a little harder than Sakkee. Breathtaking to watch/ Thanx for [psting

Pass the kleenex...what a tearjerker..I'll be lovin' Tiznow forever.. thanks so much for posting:)

[@Venckman]

Thanks for the extended coverage. It's wonderful to see.

[@Jazzgirl8888]

Thank you for posting this very beautiful, touching ,and heartfelt tribute. A wonderful video. I appreciate it.

[@digits2skyharbor]

My favorite horse. Thanks for posting this up!

[@TravisVOX]

One of Tom Durkin's best calls not only for his on-the-wire line, but for what was said throughout the race. Great stuff!

[@waseom]

YES!!! Thank you so, so, SO much! Tiznow is my favorite horse of the current century. Thank you so much for uploading this. You rock!

[@jtwisted7]

I think Ms. Rubins did see her baby that day. Maybe at the head of the strecth when sakhee ran by him, she whispered in his ear, RUN MY BOY, RUN!!!! Thank you once again cf1970.

[@CagneyLamaze]

Oh, I'm so glad that feature has been posted up here! I was just browsing channels when I came across horse racing (horsies! My favorite!), and when I watched the feature, man, I was pulling for Tiznow (who I'd never heard of, along with all the other horses of the day) like you wouldn't believe. And the way he pulled it off, is it any wonder that I still tear up just thinking about it? Tiznow's 2001 BC just isn't complete without that feature, for me anyway.

Some great sires came out of this crop. Tiznow and Giants Causeway are two sires that if you see their names under a contender, seriously consider betting that horse. Both horses threw true with their speed and heart.

[@carlykaiser]

Tiznow!!!!

[@diane5254]

Da'Tara, who won the Belmont today, is Tiznow's son. That makes it all better.

[@ZenyattaLuver]

Cecilia's Big Big Baby Is Just Simply Amazing =]

[@kwgrid]

What a great story! What a great win!!

[@johnhoie1]

I loved his heart. Fine sire too.

[@jtwisted7]

TIZNOW WINS IT FOR AMERICA!!!!!

[@pavalko2303]

I think it was C that helped him through this race

[@Arazi124]

A fantastic race between two great racehorses and Tom Durkin was at his absolute best on commentary. Trevor Denman is an ok commentator but when i watch these old Breeders Cup races i realise he's nowhere near as effective as Tom Durkin used to be.

[@dianecrain5713]

Beautiful...

[@ruffchamp1]

TIZNOW...i dont think any horse will ever win the classic back to back again

[@hbawp894]

Yeah i went there too! its beautifully kept. we were not allowed to touch the horses...:(

[@SpinalnSusio]

cheers. all the best

[@SpinalnSusio]

I do not know how certain it is but i meant to understand that tiznow is the dad of a horse by the name of tizbig. Anyone could confirm that?

[@ProduktyZycia]

super best regards

[@WiseJ497]

does anyone know the music that starts at 48?

[@PlaYah1979]

Why do i get the feeling that the 1 dislike came from a european..

[@davidhu2]

galilieo is a great stallion

[@jpmato920]

aptitude might have had a chance had he not been blown wie by gander

[@hypersphere]

Shame that Invasor wasn't able to defend this year!

[@ruffchamp1]

yep its sad and disgusting that horses die every year in the breeders cup, rip georgous george washington as he was called in europe, what a champion to lose like so many other great champions lost..it seems like a horse dies every day
