Tiz the Law arrives at Keeneland
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Tiz the Law, one of the top contenders for the Nov. 7 Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland, arrived at Keeneland on Sunday from New York and was out for an easy jog early Monday with trainer Barclay Tagg alongside on his stable pony.
“Everything is good,” said Tagg. “He’ll probably breeze Friday or Saturday and we’ll go from there.”
Tagg said he and Heather Smullen, the exercise rider for Tiz the Law, drove down from New York, pulling into Keeneland about two hours before the colt arrived following a long van ride.
Tiz the Law, a romping winner of the June 20 Belmont Stakes and Aug. 8 Travers prior to finishing second to Authentic in the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby, did not run in the Oct. 3 Preakness in order to better prepare for the BC Classic. The Constitution colt is the 4-1 second choice behind Improbable in the latest Daily Racing Form projections for the 1 1/4-mile Classic.
