TDN Writers' Room Podcast, Episode 49 with Guest Jack Knowlton | August 12, 2020

Fresh off of a powerhouse victory by his Sackatoga Stable's Tiz the Law (Constitution) in Saturday's GI Runhappy Travers S., Jack Knowlton joined the TDN Writers' Room presented by Keeneland Wednesday morning to talk about the imposing GI Kentucky Derby favorite. Calling in via Zoom as the Green Group Guest of the Week, Knowlton also discussed the deal struck with Coolmore to stand Tiz the Law at Ashford Stud, how much it meant to be in attendance for the Barclay Tagg trainee's Travers victory and whether or not this renewed success will compel Sackatoga to expand its operation in the future.

Tiz the Law remains undefeated as a 3-year-old, winning all four of his starts over a span of over six months starting with the GIII Holy Bull S. Feb. 1 and adding victories in the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 28 and June 20 GI Belmont S.

Elsewhere on the show, in the West Point Thoroughbreds news segment, the writers reacted in real-time to the specifics of Churchill Downs' plans for fans at the Derby and broke down the controversy surrounding the ride of the runner-up in the GI Longines Test S.
