ANOTHER GP 3 WIN FOR TIZA

Tiza has been a revelation since he left South Africa and the Daytona bred son of Goldkeeper put in another convincing performance in France when he smashed a Group 3 field in a 1200m sprint race at Maisons Laffitte on Friday.

Earlier in the year Tiza become the first South African bred to a group race in France when he took out a Group 3 event and now he has followed up his impressive run behind Benbaun, in Group 1 company over a distance short of his best in the Prix de l'Abbaye , with this impressive 3 length victory. He went off as the 26/10 favourite in this 80 000 euro event.

Tiza enjoyed the soft going once again and plans to take him to Hong Kong for the International sprint race could still be a reality. He will travel under the French stable of Alain De Royer Dupre and will only be transfered to Herman Brown for the Dubai Carnival season.
