1 Tiz the Law Barclay Tagg Constitution—Tizfiz, by Tiznow Is waiting two months between races the right way to go? He had a monster Thoro-Graph leap to run a career-high negative number; his Brisnet numbers show an equally huge leap; he will have five career starts; and has a strong 2-year-old foundation.
