Breeding

He was a chestnut gelding sired by Nassipour (USA) from Whisked by Whiskey Road (USA). Nassipour was also the sire of Let's Elope (NZ) who won the Melbourne Cup, Mackinnon Stakes and Caulfield Cup. Tie the Knot was bred and raced by Mr O.P. Tait and Mrs S.S. Nivison. He was a half brother to the stakes winner, Dream Ballad by Singspiel (IRE) and eight other named horses.[2] Their dam, Whisked won three group races and almost A$550,000 including the VATC One Thousand Guineas. She died on 29 September 2009 from complications after producing a live filly by Strategic.[3]

Racing career

Tie the Knot won the Sydney Cup in both 1998 and 1999 and captured the Group one Chipping Norton Stakes in four consecutive years between 1999 and 2002.[4]

He retired from racing with a record of 21 wins and 17 minor placings and earnings of A$6,212,835 from his 62 starts.[5] His total of 13 group one wins has been topped in Australasia only by Kingston Town's 14 and is equal to Sunline's. The only other horses to better his number of G1 wins are John Henry with 16 wins and Forego with 14 wins. His winnings in stake money places him fourth to Makybe Diva (GB), Sunline (NZ) and Northerly on the all-time Australasian list.

Tie the Knot was voted the 1999-2000 Australian Champion Stayer.
