New York-bred Horse of the Year and Grade 1 winner Americanrevolution was represented by his first foal born early Sunday.

The colt by the 7-year-old son of Constitution is out of the unraced Tiznow mare Tiz a Belle. Bred by Valencia Leach, the colt was foaled at Northview Stallion Station in Warwick, Maryland.

Americanrevolution, who earned New York-bred Horse of the Year and champion 3-year-old male honors in 2021, stands for $12,500 at Rockridge Stud in Hudson in a partnership with WinStar Farm, China Horse Club, Taylor Made Stallions, Fortune Farm and Mill Creek Farm.

The newborn colt is the fourth for Tiz a Belle, who is also the dam of a New York-bred yearling colt by Vekoma who sold for $90,000 to En Fuego Stables at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga fall mixed sale.

Tiz a Belle, who is a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Essential Wager, is out of the Grade 3-placed Officer mare Mr Hall’s Opus.

Campaigned by WinStar and CHC Inc. and trained by Todd Pletcher, Americanrevolution won five of 12 starts with two seconds and a third for $1,286,810 in earnings. He earned his New York-bred titles in 2021 after victories in the New York Derby at Finger Lakes, Albany Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, Empire Classic Handicap at Belmont Park and Grade 1 Cigar Mile Handicap at Aqueduct.

Americanrevolution, bred by Fred Hertrich III and John Fielding and foaled at Irish Hill Century Farm in Stillwater, also earned New York-bred champion older dirt male honors in 2022. He placed in two major stakes that season – the Grade 2 Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs and the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Saratoga.
