A New York-bred son of Constitution, Tiz the Law ran away from Caracaro down the stretch to win what is known as the Mid-Summer Derby by five and a half lengths at Saratoga Race Course.
Tiz the Law, ridden by Manny Franco, covered the mile-and-a-quarter distance in 2:00.95, paying his backers $3 on a $2 bet. It was the sixth victory in seven starts for Tiz the Law, and the $535,000 first-place check pushed his career earnings past $2 million.
Sackatoga Stables, the owner syndicate, was best known previously for having owned and raced Funny Cide.
