Hill 'n' Dale To Offer Sovereign Award Winner Tyson At Keeneland November

Tyson | Michael Burns

The Hill 'n' Dale consignment at Keeneland November this year will feature 2023 Canadian Champion Older Male Tyson (Tapit–Honouring, by Smart Strike) the farm announced Monday.

A winner at first asking at Gulfstream Park for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher, the homebred would go on to win a pair of graded races at Woodbine in the GIII Dominion Day Stakes and the GII Seagram Cup Stakes. He also ran third in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup at Saratoga en route to being named Champion Older Male in Canada.

A well-bred son of Tapit, Tyson is out of a full-sister to both GISW Streaming and SW Treasuring, each of whom has already produced a stakes runner. This is the family of MGSW Cezanne (Curlin), MGSW/GISP Greatest Honour (Tapit) and last year's champion 3-year-old colt Arcangelo (Arrogate). Third dam Better Than Honour, broodmare of the year in 2007, produced a champion filly in Rags to Riches (A.P. Indy) along with SW Man of Iron (Giant's Causeway), GSW/G1SP Casino Drive (Mineshaft) and a second GI Belmont Stakes winner in Jazil (Seeking the Gold).
