Tiz the Law 9-5 Morning Line Favorite in Pool 7 Kentucky Derby Future Wager

LOUISVILLE, KY – Sackatoga Stable’s $1 million Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Tiz the Law continues to be top of mind with many horseplayers and was made the 9/5 morning line favorite for the final pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW), which spans Friday to Sunday. 

This weekend’s Pool 7 is the final opportunity to wager on the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby prior to the event.

Tiz the Law, a multiple Grade 1-winning son of Constitution, stamped himself as the early Kentucky Derby favorite with his victory in the 1 1/8-mile Belmont Stakes – the kickoff leg to this year’s Triple Crown series. Trained by Barclay Tagg, Tiz the Law is the even-money morning line favorite for Saturday’s $1 million Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga.

The co-headliner of the Travers is Mike Pegram, Karl Watson, and Paul Weitman’s undefeated colt Uncle Chuck (6/1), who will enter Saturday’s 1 1/4-mile event following a 4-length score in last month’s Los Alamitos Derby (G3).

Trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, Uncle Chuck is one of three entrants in Pool 7 of the KDFW for the five-time Derby-winning conditioner. Other entrants are Spendthrift Farm, MyRaceHorse Stable, Madaket Stables, and Starlight Racing’s $1 million Haskell Stakes (G1) winner Authentic (8/1) and Albaugh Family Stable and Spendthrift Farm’s multiple Grade 2 winner Thousand Words (20/1).

Also likely to take interest is C R K Stable’s $400,000 Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner Honor A. P. (6-1) and Bruce Lunsford’s $600,000 Blue Grass Stakes (G2) hero and likely headliner in Sunday’s $200,000 Ellis Park Derby Art Collector (6/1).
