Try looking at the full record. Branding Tiznow as a sire whose get can only perform at top levels on AW and therefore Colonel John cannot run well on dirt courses is a distortion of the data.

You really cherry-picked there and completely ignored the fact that I never said Colonel John couldn't win on dirt, only that Tiznow's progeny does better on synthetics than dirt.

What I attempted to refute was your ridiculous assertion that Tizdejavu winning two turf races means Tiznow is a great turf sire.

Tiznow is a very solid sire..His early success on all surfaces and distances make him a very logical choice for almost any type broody..Plus because his pedigree is so foriegn to the rest of community he really has to be seen as a godsend to breeders. I really don't believe the broody's he saw early in his career were nearly as accomplished as the ones that he will be bred to in the coming years.. With that said I look for him to be a leader in the shed for a long time.

As for his horses success on poly who knows its to soon to say if he will continue to excell on the fake stuff.. i think there is enough evidence to support that Tiznow offspring can and will be Graded winners on all surfaces, age groups, and both sexes. The sky really is the limit for Tiznow..
