An older half brother to dual Argentine Classic winner Pulgarin, Tiny was very close to his sibling in ability on the track and was a more consistent sire. His best runners were not as good as Pulgarin’s best, however and he failed to establish a lasting male line.

A bay horse; no further information available.

Tiny did well as a sire and broodmare sire without ever reaching the top of the ladder. He sired a fair number of winners, but none of his foals approached his own ability.

Pedigree notes
Tiny is inbred 5x4x5x4 to 1875 Derby Stakes winner and three-time English champion sire Galopin. He is a half brother to 1921 Gran Premio Nacional and Polla de Potrillos (Argentine Two Thousand Guineas) winner Pulgarin (by Cyllene).
Tiny is out of La Nenita, whose sire, the Irish-bred Polar Star, was a first-rate juvenile in England, winning the 1906 Gimcrack Stakes and Criterion Stakes. La Nenita’s dam, the Gay Hermit mare Margot, was produced from the Uruguayan-bred 1899 Polla de Potrancas (Argentine One Thousand Guineas) winner Carina (by the English import Exmoor, winner of the 1887 Northumberland Plate and the 1888 Queen’s Vase). Carina also produced Martoche (by Cyllene), dam of two winners of Uruguay’s important Gran Premio Municipal in El (by Sandal) and El Catorce (by Sandal), and Madelon (by Pietermaritzburg), whose 1918 daughter Flama (by Olascoaga) won Las Oaks and the Premio St. Leger in Chile. Carina was produced from the English import Donnina (by 1874 Derby Stakes winner George Frederick), who won the 1892 Gran Premio Nacional (Uruguayan Derby).
