Absolutely right. We spend a lot of time bashing connections that make poor choices for their horses, so it makes sense to compliment those that do right by their horse.
This is a graded stakes race with a nice purse, and it fits Slew's Tizzy well.
I won't be playing him in this race, but it makes more sense for them to try to beat Forty Grams, Reporting for Duty, and Harrow Land than to take on Street Sense, Hard Spun, and Curlin.

GO TIZZY!

I really like him. Now I know ploy and slop he likes!

I have to get myself a hat now!

Ended up running 2nd behind Slews Tizzy by 3/4 of a length. I didn't see the race, however.
