Tiz the Law will travel the same distance on Saturday in the Belmont Stakes, which will be run at nine furlongs around one turn as the opening leg of the Triple Crown for the first time in history. The probable field for the Belmont Stakes currently stands at eight horses, including Dr Post (Todd Pletcher, Irad Ortiz, Jr.), Farmington Road (Pletcher, Javier Castellano), Jungle Runner (Steve Asmussen, Reylu Gutierrez), Max Player (Linda Rice, Joel Rosario), Pneumatic (Asmussen, Ricardo Santana, Jr.), Sole Volante (Patrick Biancone, Luca Panici), Tap It to Win (Mark Casse, John Velazquez) and Tiz the Law (Barclay Tagg, Manny Franco). Modernist, trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, is on the bubble. Tagg said he would prefer to receive an outside post for Tiz the Law at Wednesday’s post position draw. “I’d like to be in 5, 6 or 7. I’d like him to be outside,” said Tagg. The Grade 1 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve, rescheduled from May 2 to Sept. 5, will go as the second leg of the Classic series, with the Preakness Stakes (G1), originally slat - ed for May 16, to close out the Triple Crown on Oct. 3 at Pimlico Race Course. As the exclusive broadcast partner of the Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown, NBC Sports will present live coverage from Belmont Park on Belmont Stakes Day beginning at 2:45 p.m. Eastern. Modernist Breezes But Belmont Stakes Still in Question Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott sent out Pam and Martin Wygod’s graded stakes-winner Modernist to the Belmont Park main track for a five-furlong breeze on Sunday morning. Under mostly sunny skies, the graded stakes-winning son of Uncle Mo, piloted by regular rider Junior Alvarado, worked in tandem with two-time graded stakes-winner Tacitus, who was piloted by Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, recording a :24.40 opening quarter before finishing off their breeze in :59.20 and galloped out in 1:11.40 over a main track rated “fast.” The moves were the fastest of 16 recorded works at the distance. “He broke off in a nice rhythm and turning for home I was one length behind Tacitus,” Alvarado said. “As soon as we turned in, we got together and galloped out. I thought the work was extremely good.” Bill Mott/ COGLIANESE PHOTO Mott did not confirm Modernist for the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 20, but said that a start in the American classic remains a possibility. The Grade 3, $500,000 Ohio Derby, slated for June 27, also is in play for Modernist. “We’re going to have an owner conversation before too long,” Mott said. “The work looked good, nice and smooth.

    THURSDAY, MAY 6, 2021 AMERICAN PHAROAH, SUPER TRAINERS IN CALIFORNIA: THE STORY IN NUMBERS PLETCHER, FISHER 2021 by Dan Ross Over the years, the rise of the so-called super trainer has INDUCTEES INTO HOF prompted many a clutched pearl by virtue of a perceived monopoly on the sport. Anecdotally, it can certainly appear as though the same few names wield an outsized impact. But what does the data say? The TDN has crunched the numbers in California from 2007 onward. This is far from a comprehensive overview of the situation, and what emerges is a picture that can be viewed from multiple angles. On the one hand, the numbers suggest that the biggest stables in the state have indeed consolidated their positions at the top during a long period of market contraction. Yet at the same time, other indicators afford tentative encouragement for the smaller players.
