Tiz the Law has been the favorite among individual interests in the first six pools of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW), and the multiple Grade 1-winning 3-year-old is expected to lead the way in this weekend’s final pool, which will run Friday to Sunday.
Installed as the 9-5 morning line favorite among 23 individual horses in Pool 7, Tiz the Law will make his final prep in Saturday’s $1 million Travers (G1) at Saratoga. Sackatoga Stables owns the New York-bred son of Constitution, and Barclay Tagg trains. Tiz the Law owns a 3-for-3 record in 2020, posting a 3 3/4-length win in the June 20 Belmont Stakes (G1) most recently.
This weekend’s Pool 7 is the final opportunity to wager on the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby prior to the Sept. 5 event.
Uncle Chuck (6-1) is one of three entrants in Pool 7 of the KDFW for the five-time Derby-winning conditioner Bob Baffert. Improving to 2-for-2 with a score in the Los Alamitos Derby (G3), Uncle Chuck is the likely second choice to Tiz the Law in Saturday’s Travers. Baffert’s other entrants are Haskell victor (G1) Authentic (8-1) and multiple Grade 2 winner Thousand Words (20-1).
Also likely to take interest is Santa Anita Derby (G1) winner Honor A.P. (6-1), and Blue Grass (G2) hero Art Collector (6-1), the one to beat in Sunday’s $200,000 Ellis Park Derby.
