Belmont Winner Tiz The Law To Stand At Ashford Stud Upon Retirement

Last Saturday's impressive Grade 1 Belmont Stakes winner Tiz The Law will stand at Coolmore America's Ashford Stud on his retirement, but will continue to race for owners Sackatoga Stable throughout his racing career.

“Tiz The Law is the outstanding colt of his generation so we are obviously delighted he'll be coming here,” said Coolmore America manager Dermot Ryan. “From day one when he broke his maiden at Saratoga we have been watching him closely and he has everything one looks for in a stallion prospect. We are grateful to Jack Knowlton and his partners in Sackatoga Stable for letting us be a part of such an exciting horse, and also to Barclay Tagg, Robin Smullen and their team who have done a tremendous job with him. He's a Grade 1-winning juvenile and is now a Classic winner. Combined with his near perfect race record, he's very good-looking and is a very well-bred individual.”

His sire Constitution was second only to American Pharoah on the freshman sire table last year and leads the way in 2020, while Tiz The Law's dam Tizfiz was the winner of seven races including the Grade 2 San Gorgonio Handicap carrying top weight of 118 pounds.

“Tiz The Law is such a pleasure to be around, he impresses me every day with how easy he does everything, nothing is out of reach for him,” said trainer Barclay Tagg. “I have been training horses for such a long time and I have never had a horse like him, he makes my life very easy. We are looking forward to running him in the Travers then on to the Derby and Preakness. He has achieved so much already and is a very exciting horse for the future, I wouldn't change him for the world.”

Jack Knowlton, operating manager of Sackatoga Stables stated “Sackatoga Stable is pleased that Tiz The Law will stand at Coolmore America's Ashford Stud. It is an honor that he will become a part of the world's largest breeding operation of Thoroughbred racehorses. We are excited to see what Tiz The Law has in store on the track for the remainder of his 3-year-old year and beyond, and then look forward to his career as a stallion at Ashford.”

Liam’s Map Colt Clocks Fastest Quarter During First Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Under Tack Session

The first session of the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale's under tack show kicked off on Wednesday with a Liam's Map colt taking the spotlight among the juveniles working a quarter-mile.

The gray or roan colt, offered as Hip 151, covered the distance in :20 4/5 seconds over the Maryland State Fairgrounds' dirt surface in Timonium, Md. Consigned by All Dreams Equine, agent, the colt is out of the placed Big Brown mare One Foxy Grey, whose first foal to race is a winner. His second dam is the Grade 1 winner Irish Smoke, with an extended family that includes Grade 1 winner Book Review and Grade 2 winner Instagrand.

Two horses clocked quarters in :21 2/5 seconds on Wednesday:

Hip 39, Ours Forever, a Louisiana-bred Half Ours filly out of the stakes-placed Dayjur mare Illustrious Dream, whose three foals to race are all winners. Consigned by Kirkwood Stables, agent, she hails from the family of champion Answer Lively.
Hip 132, a first-crop Nyquist filly out of the unraced Silver Deputy mare Mother's Milk, whose runners include the Grade 3-placed Sheza Milky Way. Grade 2 winner Varenka is in the family of this filly, who is consigned by Hoby and Layna Kight, agent.

The honors for fastest eighth of a mile were shared by four juveniles during the first breeze session:

Hip 51, a first-crop Speightster colt out of the unplaced Mizzen Mast mare Izzy Izzy, whose three foals to race are all winners, including stakes winner En Hanse. Soaring Free, Canada's 2004 Horse of the Year, can be found in this colt's page, along with Canadian champion Regal Intention. He is consigned by L.G., agent.
Hip 106, a first-crop Outwork colt out of the unraced Maria's Mon mare Marialua, who is the dam of five winners from eight foals to race. The New York-bred is from the extended family of Triple Crown winner Affirmed, and he is consigned by Wolf Creek Farms, agent.
Hip 118, a Virginia-bred Uncle Mo colt out of the winning Mineshaft mare Miss Ocean City, whose runners include Grade 2 winner Azar. Belmont Stakes winner Go and Go is on the page of this colt, who is consigned by Pike Racing, agent.

Canadian Champion Holy Helena Confirmed In Foal To Quality Road

Holy Helena, a multiple Grade 2 winner and Canada's champion 3-year-old filly of 2017, has entered the Adena Springs broodmare band, and was confirmed in-foal on Wednesday to Quality Road.

The 6-year-old Ghostzapper mare was unraced in 2020, but was still in training through the end of May, turning in her final workout at Palm Meadows Training Center in Florida on May 27.

Holy Helena retired with eight wins in 20 career starts for earnings of $1,330,018, racing as a homebred for Adena Springs' Ontario base, and for trainer Jimmy Jerkens.

Unraced at two, Holy Helena broke her maiden in her second career start at Belmont Park, and parlayed that into victories in two of the most prestigious races for Canadian-breds. First, she bested the country's top sophomore fillies in the Woodbine Oaks, then she became the 36th filly to win the Queen's Plate. She added a runner-up effort in the Grade 3 Ontario Derby before the end of the season to clinch honors as Canada's champion 3-year-old filly in 2017.

Holy Helena made the leap onto the U.S. scene in the seasons to come as a turf runner, racking up two victories in the G3 The Very One Stakes to go along with wins in the G2 Sheepshead Bay Stakes at Belmont Park and the G2 Dance Smartly Stakes at Woodbine.

Quality Road, a Grade 1-winning son of Elusive Quality, stands at Lane's End in Versailles, Ky., for an advertised fee of $200,000.

The 14-year-old has emerged as one of North America's highest-ranking sires on the racetrack and in the auction ring, with notable foals including champions Abel Tasman and Caledonia Road, as well as Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner City of Light and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Hootenanny.
