Broodmares

Tyra Red (IN)

(Red Giant / Christina’s Courage, by Boundary)
Located at Edition Farm in New York

Tyra Red is by Red Giant, a son of the great Giant’s Causeway who is a perennial leading broodmare sire. She displayed significant speed and talent while in training but was unraced due to a training injury.

Red Giant is a millionaire with earnings of $1,092,410.  He was the world record holder for 1 1/4 miles and dual record holder for 10 furlongs – stopping the clock at 1:57.16.

The legendary Thoroughbred sportswriter Steve Haskin wrote of Red Giant, “You won’t find many horses who combine courage, class, speed, versatility, and consistency more than Red Giant. This is a horse who gives 100% every time and seems to relish a fight. There is nothing this horse can’t do.”

Tyra Red’s dam, Christina’s Courage, is by stallion Boundary (Danzig / Edge, by Damascus). Boundary entered stud at Claiborne in 1995 and sired 16 stakes winners, 48 stakes horses, and the earners of more than $21 million.  His leading runners include 2008 Kentucky Derby-G1 winner and Champion 3-year-old colt Big Brown; 2000 Champion 2-year-old colt in England and Ireland Minardi; record setter and multiple Grade 1 winner Pomeroy; multiple GSW Conserve; and a trio of millionaires in Japan. A winner at 4, Christina’s Courage has produced four horses to race, three of which are winners.

Her second dam is the stakes winner Coni Bug who is a sister and half-sister to a graded stakes winner, and herself a producer of several stakes’ winners. Her third dam Princess Carrie produced eight winners including several top stakes horses.

Beyond her pedigree the most impressive thing about Tyra Red may be her physical conformation.   She is a correct, well-balanced, big boned mare, with a particularly powerful chest and hip, and a beautifully flowing top line. She bears a strong resemblance to her sire Red Giant.
