Tiz The Law
Tiz The Law has the distinction of being comfortably the best son of Constitution and his emergence as a potential Champion Sire is illustrated by the way his fee has risen from an original $25,000 to $85,000. Constitution himself was 2020’s Champion Second-Crop Sire by North American earnings and he also headed the third-crop sire table a year later.
Tiz The Law has already followed in Constitution’s footsteps, by winning the Gr.1 Florida Derby. Tiz The Law displayed considerable talent at 2 years, making an impressive winning debut over 6½ furlongs in early-August. Two months later he easily landed the Gr.1 Champagne Stakes before running out a decisive winner of his first four starts as a three-year-old. After warming up for his Florida Derby success with a win in the Gr.3 Holy Bull Stakes, Tiz The Law won again as a hot favorite for the Gr.1 Belmont Stakes over the shortened distance of a mile and an eighth. Stepped up to a mile and a quarter in the Gr.1 Travers Stakes, Tiz The Law scored by more than five lengths. He next started odds on to defeat Authentic in the re-scheduled Kentucky Derby but went down by just over a length.
Constitution has two Graded winners from 15 foals out of daughters of GIANT’S CAUSEWAY and his Gr.3 winner Warrant has a dam by Giant Causeway’s son FIRST SAMURAI. The HARLAN and HENNESSY branches of the STORM CAT line should be ideal for Tiz The Law, especially daughters of INTO MISCHIEF and SCAT DADDY.
The FAPPIANO branch of the MR PROSPECTOR male line is working well with Constitution. His smart daughters Amalfi Sunrise and Glass Ceiling have dams by EMPIRE MAKER, while his matings with daughters of UNBRIDLED’S SONG include three SWs and the Gr.1-placed Gouverneur Morris.
Constitution’s Gr.2 winners Laura’s Light and Treason respectively have dams by GONE WEST’s sons MUQTARIB and SPEIGHTSTOWN.
Constitution’s 12 foals out of mares by DIXIE UNION include the Gr.3 winner By Your Side and the Gr.3-placed Aurelia Garland.
Mares by sons of EL PRADO have succeeded with Constitution, with Gr.1-placed Golden Principal and Gr.3 winner Ridin With Biden being from MEDAGLIA D’ORO mares.
From only four foals out of UNCLE MO mares, Constitution sired Gr.3 winner Major General.
Constitution’s four starters out of GHOSTZAPPER mares include Gr.2 scorer Law Professor.
Constitution’s Gr.1 winner Americanrevolution is one of two foals out of SUPER SAVER mares.
