Guess who's coming to Baffert

Tiznow's half-brother C'mon Tiger, by Storm Cat out of Cee's Song has been bought as a stallion prospect but will be trained in So Cal by Baffert in his future attempts at racing. Who knows how much that'll be but he's a 3yo right now.

Does purchasing a horse as a stallion prospect mean you get what you can til the end of the year and send him off after the winter meet or could he conceivably be eyeing a 4yo year? He only had one start in Ireland and was 4th.

Seriously though, he doesn't appear to've done much but if he got a decent race record he's got a pretty decent pedigree being by Storm Cat out of a broodmare like Cee's Song and a half-bro to a 2 time BC Classic winner. Assuming he's got anything going for him physically he needs a few notches in the belt.

I guess it depends on how much they paid for him as to how many notches he may need because he could be retired right now and stand in NM for 2-2500 hundred. It will be interesting to see what Baffert can do with him with all his secret potions.

What I would like to know is why is Cee's Song going to anybody other than her "soul mate", Cee's Tizzy?
Storm Cat is a great sire, but he's not right for her.
And, why, oh why, did they waste Tizdubai's SoCal dirt talent on Euro grass?

I,ve wrote this many times. In europe it is forbidden working with drugs race medication etc. It seems that this horse is a nut without it.
So americans do what you please, take another useless one into the breed.

His debut race

From the comment on his 4th place (06-04) at Navan (IRE):
1, mile going good to firm. First start as a 3 year old at 4 juni 2006
maidenrace.

C'mon Tiger ran quite well on his debut. He held the lead early in the straight until being headed inside the final furlong and only lost out for the placings close home. Like many of his stable's runners, he can be expected to improve appreciably from this.

It makes it more interesting then that they wouldn't race him a second time to see if he did improve. Instead, they washed their hands of him.

Maybe I wrote it wrong but this was his sole race for Aidan o, Brian.
In ownership from Coolmore et all.
If they thought something was left in him, they would have tried it.
