Tiz the Law is ‘A Number One’ in the Belmont

[Wandering Eyes]

Native New Yorker TIZ THE LAW (c, 3, Constitution–Tizfiz, by Tiznow) was a fitting winner in Saturday’s unconventional renewal of the GI Belmont S., which was run as the first leg of the Triple Crown and reduced to 1 1/8 miles. Heavily favored at 4-5, Tiz the Law stalked from a two-wide third as Tap It To Win (Tapit) seized command with Fore Left (Twirling Candy) pressing from second through a :23.11 opening quarter and :46.16 half-mile. Drawing alongside the pacesetter turning for home, the native New Yorker powered clear in the lane to register a decisive victory in 1:46.5. Dr. Post (Quality Road) got up for second and Max Player (Honor Code) rallied from well back to complete the trifecta. Opening his account with a pair of wins, includng the GI Champagne S., Tiz the Law was third in the GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. in November. Returning to winning ways in the GIII Holy Bull S. Feb. 1, the $110,000 SARAUG buy followed suit with a win in  the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 28. Lifetime Record: 6-5-0-1.
