Tiz the Bomb punches his ticket to the "classy" and "cool" Epsom Derby with a game victory in the Battaglia Memorial tonight.
Clearly begging for all of the 12 furlongs at Epsom Downs after grinding into contention 7-wide with an awkward lead change, then bearing in all the way to the rail and just holding on in a slowly run 8.5f listed race over a synthetic surface. No word yet from the Mike Maker camp on whether the runner-up Stolen Base will seek to renew their rivalry by throwing his own hat into the ring for the British Classics after nearly taking down America's best hope for English Derby since Slewpy. Like Tiz a Bomb, Stolen Base owns a good race over the European turf course at Kentucky Downs and was browbeat by the "purse money only" runner in the BC Juvenile Turf. On top of that, he placed in a listed stakes over Sam Houston's turf course earlier this year, so Europe's top prizes seem ripe for the pickings. However, considering he has finished behind Tiz the Bomb in all 3 of their meetings thus far, he may be better suited to the Irish Derby...
