It's a unique year for thoroughbred racing, with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing radical changes to the Triple Crown run. And trainer Barclay Tagg believes he has a unique horse in the Belmont Stakes' presumptive favorite, Tiz the Law.
"He's fast, that's what it comes down to," Tagg said. "A fast horse is a unique one."
But Tagg _ remembering the past _ deliberately kept the New York-bred Tiz the Law from blazing through his final serious workout before Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Instead, Tiz the Law breezed a half-mile in a controlled 50.42 seconds with Manny Franco aboard on Belmont Park's main track on Sunday.
