First Black-Type Winner for Freshman Sharp Azteca

[Wandering Eyes]

Tyler's Tribe became the first black-type winner for his freshman sire (by Freud) with a daylight score in the Prairie Gold Juvenile S. Saturday at Prairie Meadows. Just like in his debut June 20 over this surface at a furlong shorter, the 2-year-old dark bay opened a clear lead early and stayed there. After capturing his unveiling by 16 3/4 lengths, he took Saturday's stakes event by 8 1/2 lengths. Tyler's Tribe broke from the rail Saturday, blazed to the front, set :22.07 and :45.16 fractions, and barreled home a sharp victor while never threatened.

Sharp Azteca, winner of the GI Cigar Mile H. in 2017, now has seven winners and one stakes winner in his nascent stallion career. He stands at Three Chimneys near Midway, Kentucky.

Tyler's Tribe topped the 2021 Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association Fall Sale at $34,000. His dam produced a Good Samaritan colt last year that sold as a short yearling at Keeneland January for $15,000 to Kentucky River Racing.
