In the August 12, 2019, edition of "Mares on Monday," the family of Tiy got a look thanks to Tiy's fifth-generation descendant Get Stormy, who had just won the Fourstardave Handicap (USA-G1) over males at Saratoga. By the end of 2019, Got Stormy had brought further credit to her family with victory in the Matriarch Stakes (USA-G1) and runner-up finishes in the Ricoh Woodbine Mile (USA-G1) and TVG Breeders' Cup Mile (USA-G1). Her performances made her a finalist for a 2019 Eclipse Award in the turf female division, and the good news is that she will continue to compete in 2020.
Got Stormy is not the only member of Tiy's family who will bear watching in 2020. On January 18, Tiy's great-granddaughter Justwhistledixie (Dixie Union x General Jeanne, by Honour and Glory x Ahpo Hel) came up with her fourth graded stakes winner in Enforceable (by Tapit). A full brother to multiple Grade 2 winner Mohaymen and Grade 3 winner Kingly and a half brother to 2013 Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner New Year's Day (now the sire of probable 2019 American champion 3-year-old male Maximum Security), Enforceable earned his brackets with a powerful, six-wide stretch run to win the Lecomte Stakes (USA-G3) at the Fair Grounds. He will be one to watch during the early stages of the Triple Crown trail, which in his case will most likely lead next to the Risen Star Stakes Presented by Lamarque Ford-Lincoln (USA-G2) on February 15.
Generally, the family of Tiy has tended toward sprinter-milers, but as the sire of three Belmont Stakes (USA-G1) winners, Tapit cannot be overlooked as a source of stamina, and Enforceable has the kind of long, efficient stride that will help him make the most of whatever stamina he possesses. As for Justwhistledixie, she is getting every opportunity to add to her tally of four graded stakes winners from five foals of racing age. After giving birth to a Pioneerof the Nile colt in 2018 and an Arrogate filly (her first daughter) in 2019, she visited Quality Road for 2020. All that can be wished for now besides more racing success is several more daughters to help carry on a family that is on the rise.
