Out On Bail Survives Inquiry to Become First Stakes Winner for Tiz the Law

[Wandering Eyes]

Out On Bail (c, 2, Tiz the Law–Judge Lee, by Street Cry {Ire}) became the first stakes winner for his freshman sire (by Constitution) by delivering a hard-fought win in Friday's $150,000 Skidmore Stakes at Saratoga.

Favored at 3-2 while facing only three rivals, the gray was always traveling nicely while racing in an outside second as Jet Sweep Joe (Frosted) showed the way. The two raced shoulder to shoulder down the stretch, and, after exchanging bumps close to home, Out On Bail got up to win by a head.

The result stood following a stewards' inquiry and an objection by the rider of the runner-up alleging interference against Out On Bail.

“I just rolled my eyes,” winning trainer Mike Maker said. “You can watch the head-on and see the one horse [No. 1, Jet Sweep Joe] just kept carrying and carrying us. It was kind of puzzling, but it's not the first time I've been puzzled.”

On a potential next start in the six-furlong GIII Futurity Oct. 4 at Belmont at the Big A, a 'Win and You're In' for the five-furlong GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint in November at Del Mar, Maker added, “The Futurity makes sense.”

Judge Lee produced a full brother to the winner in 2023. She was bred to Americanrevolution for 2025.
