FOUR OF THE BEST TIZ THE LAW WINS: BELMONT STAKES & TRAVERS STAKES

Tiz The Law (by Constitution x Tizfiz) is the raging favourite for the 2020 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs courtesy of three-straight Group 1 wins in the Florida Derby, Belmont Stakes and Travers Stakes.

After winning the Belmont Stakes in August, Tiz The Law now has America's Triple Crown (Belmont Stakes, Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes) in his sights, aiming to become just the 14th horse to achieve this feat.

Trained by 82-year-old Barclay Tagg and ridden by Puerto Rican jockey Manny Franco, Tiz The Law has won six races from seven career starts, including the Travers Stakes (Saratoga), Belmont Stakes (Belmont Park), Florida Derby (Gulfstream Park), Holy Bully Stakes (Gulfstream Park), Champagne Stakes (Belmont Park) & a Saratoga maiden (Saratoga).

Meanwhile, the colt suffered his only defeat in the Group 2 Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs, running behind Silver Prospector and Finnick The Fierce.

2020 possible Kentucky Derby field:
Tiz the Law (Manny Franco); Authentic (John Velazquez); Art Collector (Brian Hernandez Jr.); Honor A.P. (Mike Smith); Ny Traffic (Paco Lopez); King Guillermo (Samy Camacho); Thousand Words (Florent Geroux); Dr Post (TBA); Max Player (Ricardo Santana Jr.); Caracaro (Javier Castellano); Enforceable (Adam Beschizza); Rushie (TBA); Major Fed (James Graham); Storm the Court (Julien Leparoux); Attachment Rate (Joe Talamo); Sole Volante (Luca Panici); Finnick the Fierce (Martin Garcia); Winning Impression (Joe Rocco Jr.); Necker Island (Miguel Mena); and Shirl’s Speight (Corey Lanerie).
