Man, Uncle Chuck made me look foolish. First time for everything. I don't know how Tiz the Law gets beaten in Kentucky. I think the only possible thing to keep him from a TC would be for Gamine to run away in the Oaks and Baffert decide to run her in the Preakness. And as great as she is, Tiz would still be the horse to beat.

Until yesterday, I was feeling pretty good about the very hefty "All Others" bet I'd made in Pool 2 in early February. Not anymore. Now I have to hope that Art Collector takes it up another big notch today at Ellis Park.
Hate to root against Tiz the Law in the Derby, though. I really like the fact that the owners say they want to run him for a full 4-yr-old season.

I’ve read a lot of “who did he beat” talk about Tiz the Law and it’s pretty laughable. I’m not running to bet him at a short price in the Derby but if what he did yesterday doesn’t impress you, you’re a hater.
It’s not like he was hiding. They’ve been frank about where they are going for months. Not to mention the potential second choice in the Derby ran in an ungraded stake at Ellis today instead of the Travers. I don’t know....who else is there left for him to beat besides Art Collector at this point? Horses like Happy Saver and Shirl’s Speight are exciting prospects and I think Honor AP will be fully cranked for the Derby... but you have to give credit where it is due. That was a monster performance yesterday.

The owner said point blank he did not want to "run against Baffert". From a fan's perspective, that's proved disappointing, because Baffert has subsequently ruined all his 3yos this year (I don't expect Uncle Chuck, who looked horrendous down the stretch--as he did at Los Al, to make another start any time soon). Nadal and Charlatan were in top form at the time and perhaps the only other 3yos that could give Tiz The Law a run for his money.
