Twirling Candy’s Collusion Illusion Takes Laz Barrera

COLLUSION ILLUSION (c, 3, Twirling Candy–Natalie Grace, by First Dude) saved ground in second as Ragtime Blues (Union Rags) zipped through a :21.90 first quarter. Biding his time a bit as the half went in :44.73, the 2-5 chalk swept past the leader in the final sixteenth for a decisive score in the GIII Lazaro Barrera S. Opening his account with a pair of wins, including the GII Best Pal S. in August, Collusion Illusion was pulled up and walked off in the GI American Pharoah S. Sept. 27 when trying two turns. He rebounded with a six-panel optional claimer win in Arcadia May 17. Lifetime Record: 5-4-0-0.

Tiz the Law Dominates Belmont Stakes to Launch 2020 Triple Crown

When the 152nd Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets was finally decided late in the day June 20, the outcome was rather predictable.

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

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, he followed suit with a win in the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 28. Lifetime Record: 6-5-0-1.
