"A lot of people we've talked to thought he would stand for $50,000. I think at $30,000 he will be a very popular horse.Tiznow will stand at Bill Casner and Kenny Troutt's WinStar Farm near Versailles, Ky.WinStar, in partnership with Taylor Made, bought a half-interest in the 4-year-old son of Cee's Tizzy -- Cee's Song, by Seattle Song. He is also owned by Michael Cooper and Cee's Stable, the latter a partnership of Cooper and Kevin Cochrane and Pamela Ziebarth. Cochrane and Ziebarth are the children of the colt's breeder, the late Cecilia Straub-Rubens."He was a good racehorse and he's a good outcross to a lot of mares," Taylor said. "He's also a good looking horses, as evidenced by how well his dam and sister sold."At the recent Keeneland November sale, Cee's Song, carrying a full sibling to Tiznow, was purchased by Dromoland Farm for $2.6 million. His full sister was bought by John Ferguson Bloodstock as agent for Sheikh Mohammed for $950,000.Tiznow, last year's Horse of the Year and a serious candidate for top honors again this year, retired with eight wins in 15 starts and earnings of $6,427,830.
