Stable Tour from The Saratoga Special with Barclay Tagg, and assistant trainer Robin Smullen, Aug 30th, 2019.
Tiz The Law: Wow, what a debut. The son of Constitution produced one of the most impressive debuts of any horse at the meet, winning easily Aug. 8.
Sackatoga purchased the son of Constitution from the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred sale here last summer.
Smullen: “The star of the show. He’s extremely intelligent, not afraid of anything. The other day, Rick Schosberg was walking his dog, the dog was kind of growling and barking and the colt looks at him like he was going to strike at him. He didn’t care.”
Tagg: “I thought he was the best looking New York-bred horse I’d ever seen. When you look at the big white face, you think Hereford, but I couldn’t fault him. I kept looking at him and looking at him and looking at him. He looks like a little chunk but when you really look at him, he stands over a lot of ground, he’s got great bone, great strength.
We didn’t expect him to run like he ran. We thought he was doing good but we didn’t know he was that good. He never got out of a hack canter. Junior never had to ask him.
Two white-rimmed eyes, that stops me, but you couldn’t turn down the rest of his body. He got a little bit of a shin, he probably could have run in the Hopeful but there’s too many other things to look forward to, I put a blister on it, two days after he ran. There’s a New York-bred race on the 20th, we might make that.”
Very special horse. BT has a keen eye.
