TIZ The Law established himself as the leading contender for the Kentucky Derby, due to be run in September this year, with his weekend victory in the Grade 1 Florida Derby. This win took his race record to four successes in five starts, adding to a Grade 1 triumph in the Champagne Stakes at two.

Tiz The Law is from the first crop of one of the best sons of leading sire Tapit (Pulpit), Constitution, who stands this year for $40,000 at WinStar. They raced him in partnership with Twin Creeks Farm. This is a big jump from the mere $15,000 he cost last year, and that had dropped from the $25,000 at which he started out at stud. If he continues to enjoy the level of success he is currently experiencing, it is certain that his fee will continue to rise.
