Tiz The Law Posts ‘Nice, Easy’ First Breeze Since Finishing Second In Kentucky Derby
Sackatoga Stable's four-time Grade 1 winner Tiz the Law was back to work on Friday morning to record his first breeze since finishing second in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby on September 5 at Churchill Downs with a half-mile work over a fast main track at Belmont Park.
Under mostly sunny skies, the 3-year-old son of Constitution covered four furlongs in 50.07 seconds with regular exercise rider Heather Smullen aboard.
“It was a nice, easy work,” trainer Barclay Tagg said. “I wasn't looking for much. I just wanted him to go out there and stretch his legs. He hadn't done anything in three weeks.”
Prior to his last-out second in the Kentucky Derby, where he finished 1 1/4-lengths back to Authentic, Tiz the Law had won his prior four starts this season in dominant fashion taking the Grade 3 Holy Bull and Grade 1 Florida Derby, both at Gulfstream Park, before a sensational 3 ¾-length victory in the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes on June 20 ahead of a 5 ½-length romp in the Grade 1 Runhappy Travers on August 8 at Saratoga.
During his 2-year-old season, Tiz the Law won the Grade 1 Champagne at Belmont Park in his second start after besting fellow New York-breds in his career debut at Saratoga.
The connections of Tiz the Law opted to bypass the Grade 1 Preakness on October 3 at Pimlico, and instead will train up to the Grade 1, $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic on November 7 at Keeneland, where he will face older horses for the first time. He will attempt to become the 13th 3-year-old to score a victory in the Classic.
Bred in the Empire State by Twin Creeks Farm, Tiz the Law is out of the graded stakes winning Tiznow mare Tizfiz and was purchased for $110,000 from the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Yearling Sale of New York-breds.

Warrior’s Charge Headlines Ack Ack
GIII Razorback H. victor Warrior’s Charge (Munnings) headlines a full field in Saturday’s GIII Ack Ack S. at Churchill Downs. Kicking off this term with his first black-type score in the Razorback, the dark bay was second to recent GII Alysheba S. winner By My Standards (Goldencents) in the GII Oaklawn H. May 2. Fourth in the GI Met Mile July 4, he crossed the line second in the GIII Phillip Iselin S. last time at Monmouth, but was promoted to first when the winner was DQ’d Aug. 22.
Ebben (Trappe Shot) takes a step back up to black-type company on a hot streak. Winning while in for a $50,000 tag at Churchill June 13, the gelding scored a decisive optional claimer score at Ellis July 19 and won over this track and trip Sept. 2.
American Anthem (Bodemeister) was purchased by Don Tiger for $145,000 last November at Keeneland and turned over to Danny Gargan. Fourth in the GIII Toboggan S. Jan. 18, he was second in the Stymie S. Mar. 7 and was third in the GI Carter H. June 6. The bay was transferred to Mike Maker, who tried him on turf and found out it was not his preferred surface as the 6-year-old never fired, finishing 11th in the GIII Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint S. Sept. 12.

Dreadhead Cowboy Facing Animal Cruelty Charges After Protest Ride On Chicago Expressway
Adam Hollingsworth, known as the Dreadhead Cowboy, rode his horse “Nunu” approximately seven miles down the Dan Ryan Expressway during rush hour in Chicago, Ill. on Monday, claiming the protest was to bring attention to “Kids Lives Matter.”
According to abc7chicago.com, Hollingsworth is facing aggravated animal cruelty charges. Nunu was taken in by Chicago's Animal Care and Control after Monday's ride, and has since been transferred to the care of an affiliate rescue center. She is receiving care, but is only able to stand for five or ten minutes at a time and may have to be euthanized as a result of her condition.
“I love Nunu… She is one of my newer horses. I've had her about three months and we've grown a bond,” Hollingsworth said during a press conference Thursday. “It was very upsetting knowing that I love my horse. When I was hearing everything and I couldn't say nothing, and I had to stand there and just listen to all the lies that have been told on me.”
