Rozzyroo First Tiz The Law Winner of 2025

Rozzyroo (3f Tiz The Law x Marcy Darcy, by Smart Strike) kicked off her career on a winning note on New Year’s Day when the just-turned sophomore won on debut at Aqueduct.

Debuting going six furlongs on the dirt after registering a bullet work three breezes before, Rozzyroo was second out of the gate but not for long. She cruised to the lead with another horse sticking close behind to keep her honest.

Asked for more as the field reached the quarter pole, she easily pulled away. Her margin wasn’t flashy, but it was an easy win with her jockey able to hand ride her in the final furlong. The second-place finisher was two lengths behind with the third placed runner finishing nearly seven lengths adrift of the winner.

Trained by Andrew Simoff for Imaginary Stables, Rozzyroo was bred by Pine Ridge Stable.

The filly is out of the winning mare Marcy Darcy, who has produced two winners from three to race. Marcy Darcy is a half-sister to Grade I winner Pauline’s Pearl and stakes winner Union Jackson out of the Grade I winner Hot Dixie Chick. This is a successful family through and through with Hot Dixie Chick one of two Grade I winners out of Grade III winner Above Perfection alongside Grade I Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming.

Marcy Darcy foaled a colt from champion Epicenter’s first crop last year.

Tiz The Law ended 2024 as the leading freshman sire by stakes winners with five, graded stakes winners with two, and graded stakes performers with four. He was also fourth by winners with 22 and third by earnings.
