Baffert Unleashes Maximum Security Firster to 'Rising Star' Honors
Today at 07:29 PM
Tiz Secure (c, 3, Maximum Security–Tough Tiz's Sis, by Tiznow) became the first 'TDN Rising Star' for his sophomore sire with an ultra-impressive debut victory at Santa Anita Saturday evening.
Off as the 7-2 second-choice with his Bob Baffert-trained stablemate Voldemort (Good Magic) taking the bulk of the action at 8-5, Tiz Secure broke like a shot from his outside draw, but was content to drop back to fourth as they sped through an opening quarter in :22.34.
Tiz Secure began to roll while three wide on the far turn, stuck his head in front approaching the quarter pole and powered clear in the stretch to win going away by five lengths. Voldemort was second.
The final time for six furlongs was 1:09.92.
Tough Tiz's Sis, a two-time Grade I winner for these same connections, has also produced GSW & GISP Tiz Midnight (Midnight Lute), who went on to produce MGSW & GISP Midnight Memories (Mastery).
Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
O/B-Karl Watson & Paul Weitman (KY); T-Bob Baffert.
It was a Bob Baffert first-time-starter exacta in race 8 at Santa Anita. #8 TIZ SECURE ($9.40) by Maximum Security (@coolmoreamerica) ran right on by his stablemate #7 Voldemort in an impressive debut.
