TIZ THE LAW (c, 2, Constitution&hid=5588">Constitution–Tizfiz {GSW, $410,944}, by Tiznow) blew past the favorite a furlong out and cruised home a much-the-best winner on debut Thursday at Saratoga, continuing a strong start for his freshman sire. Showing a strong local worktab, highlighted by a bullet five furlongs from the gate in 1:00 2/5 (1/30) July 27, the $110,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-Bred graduate was backed as the 7-2 second choice and came away well to stalk the pace from a pocketed third past a :22.30 quarter. Dream Bigger (Mission Impazible), favored at 3-2, took over midway on the turn and looked to blow the race open at the top of the lane, but drifted in sharply as Tiz the Law came calling. The bay took over at the eighth pole and went mostly unasked by jockey Junior Alvarado from there on, coasting home 4 1/4 lengths to the good of the chalk, who was in turn 14 lengths clear of third, to become already the ninth winner for his sire (by Tapit). The victor, a half to Awestruck (Tapit), MSP, $350,928, third in the Shine Again S. earlier this meet. His dam, a graded stakes winner on turf and full-sister to GSW/GISP Fury Kapcori, has a yearling Mission Impazible filly named Angel Oak and foaled a colt by the same stallion this season before returning to Constitution. This is also the female family of 1997 Horse of the Year Favorite Trick (Phone Trick). Sales History: $110,000 Ylg '18 SARAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,900.
