TIZTASTIC - 2025 Kentucky Derby - Monster Podcast - Clay Sanders - Presented by TwinSpires

Get to know Kentucky Derby contender Tiztastic, a talented 3-year-old colt trained by Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen for powerhouse connections Winchell Thoroughbreds, Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith. In this video, we dive deep into Tiztastic’s impressive racing résumé, pedigree, and Derby potential alongside expert analysis.

Tiztastic, by Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law out of the Tapit mare Keesha, brings a potent mix of speed, stamina, and pedigree power into the 2025 Kentucky Derby. Bred in Kentucky by Capital Bloodstock, this dark bay colt has already earned over $1.5 million, highlighted by impressive wins in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby and the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile Stakes.

His defining moment came in the Louisiana Derby, where Tiztastic showcased his trademark closing style. Settling off a rapid early pace, he launched a bold four-wide move under jockey Joel Rosario, powering home to win convincingly by 2¼ lengths. This performance not only demonstrated his stamina and maturity at 1 3/16 miles but also earned him 100 valuable Kentucky Derby qualifying points, securing his spot in the Run for the Roses.

Tiztastic’s versatile running style—evolving from an off-the-pace sprinter into a tactical closer—positions him as a strong Derby contender. His consistent progression, coupled with his experience at Churchill Downs, enhances his credentials to handle the demanding 1¼-mile Kentucky Derby distance.

Pedigree-wise, Tiztastic boasts remarkable lineage: his sire, Tiz the Law, is a multiple Grade 1 winner at classic distances, and his damsire, Tapit, is renowned for producing Belmont Stakes champions and numerous Grade 1 winners. This powerful genetic combination indicates he should thrive at classic distances.

Under the expert guidance of trainer Steve Asmussen—winner of multiple graded stakes including the 2022 Louisiana Derby with Epicenter—Tiztastic continues to develop and peak at precisely the right time for a run at Kentucky Derby glory.

Join us in this video as we provide expert insights, key statistics, and in-depth analysis of Tiztastic’s racing career, pedigree strengths, and chances for success at Churchill Downs. Whether you're a racing enthusiast, handicapper, or simply gearing up for the excitement of Kentucky Derby 2025, this video offers valuable perspective on one of the most intriguing Derby hopefuls.
