Tiz the Law Completes Classic Preparations at Keeneland SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2020 RESPITE FARM PROVES SMALL, BUT MIGHTY TIZ THE LAW COMPLETES By Christie DeBernardis CLASSIC PREPARATIONS Dr. Mike Cavey and his wife Dr. Nancy Temple have proven the old adage of quality over quantity. At their Respite Farm in Paris, AT KEENELAND Ky, the couple have been able to do a lot with a little, producing two champions and a Grade II-winning top young sire from a broodmare band of just seven. They will offer four weanlings from their boutique breeding operation at the upcoming Keeneland November Sale. Cavey and Temple hit their first home run with a family they developed for five generations out of the first mare they ever purchased, Hot Slippers (Rollicking). Their patience and commitment to those bloodlines paid off as Hot Slippers is now the fourth dam of champion and top sire Uncle Mo.

JIM MULVIHILL: We heard a little bit from Johnny [Velazquez] about his trip. Bob, if you would, just take us through the race. BOB BAFFERT: Well, I mean, I had so many emotions running through my mind, with Jimmy [Barnes] not being able to get the saddle on the horse. The horse got angry. We knew he could be a problem. We were trying to saddle him on the walk. And then when he -- he got mad, he went up, and Jimmy lost and landed on his arm and he had a broken arm. Had to scratch the horse because he fell on his side. The horse is okay. Didn't have any scratches. Once they do that, it's an automatic scratch.
