Tiz the Law filly works quick quarter-mile for OBS spring sale

A filly from the first crop of Tiz the Law worked a quarter-mile in 20 1/5 seconds to lead that section of the work tab as the under-tack preview show for the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s spring sale of 2-year-olds in training continued on Tuesday.

Tuesday's session was the third of seven days for the breeze show, preceding next week's sale which has 1,208 juveniles cataloged, the largest 2-year-old in training sale in the country.

Although a furlong is considered the traditional measuring stick for these sales, a significant number of juveniles will instead work a quarter-mile. According to OBS, the Tiz the Law filly's time on the Ocala Training Center's all-weather Safetrack tied a track record.

The mark was most recently hit by a Win Win Win filly during the under-tack preview for the company's March sale. She went on to top that auction at $1.8 million.

New York-bred Tiz the Law, by Constitution, won the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes as a 2-year-old. At 3 he added Grade 1 wins in the Florida Derby, the pandemic-adjusted Belmont Stakes, and the Travers Stakes, and was second in the Kentucky Derby. He stands at Coolmore's Ashford Stud in Kentucky.

Tiz the Law's bullet-working filly, consigned by Tom McCrocklin, as agent, is out of the stakes-placed Sky Mesa mare Moonlight Sky, whose first starter is Grade 3-placed Urban. Moonlight Sky is a full sister to Grade 3 winner Sky Girl, and a half-sister to champion Abel Tasman.

Through three sessions of the breeze show, fillies from the respective second crops of Mitole and Omaha Beach are tied for the fastest furlong, both going in 9 3/5 seconds on Monday.

Mitole, who stands at Spendthrift Farm, was last year's leading freshman sire by earnings. His bullet-working filly, consigned by Hartley/DeRenzo Thoroughbreds, as agent, is out of the winning Into Mischief mare Mischief Galore, whose first starter, the winner Sapphire Nights, is a full sister to this filly.

Spendthrift barn mate Omaha Beach was fourth behind Mitole on the freshman list. His filly, consigned by Omar Ramirez Bloodstock, as agent, is the first foal out of the unraced Frosted mare Marla.
