Tiz a Par gallops by four in maiden victory

Tiz a Par's maiden win Friday made the colt winner number six for his sire Tiz Wonderful. Undefeated as a 2-year-old with a pair of graded stakes wins, Tiz Wonderful's first crop has started out much like their sire, putting him in the top 10 on the 2012 Freshman Sire list.

Tiz a Par went gate-to-wire in Friday's 5 1/2-furlong contest, drawing off in the stretch. The Monarch Stables homebred got the distance in 1:06.76. He is the second winner in as many foals out of the Robyn Dancer mare Par Golfer, who is a half-sister to nine-time stakes winner Time to Pass.
