Hector, Is usually a sign that a horse has not had to put in his best effort to win. Many young horses when they get to the front look around since there are no more worlds to conquer. Also check his tail motion on the video as he's crossing the wire. It's smooth and flowing. Not choppy. He was running easy with more in the tank.

In 1973 Secretariat said, "Hold my beer," and decided to run the Belmont all by himself.

[@probro869]

Secaretariat will always be the fastest horse to run in the derby but tiz the law is probably a reeeeeeeally far distant 2nd

[@LorayV]

Oh my god, we get it. Secretariat was a great horse. But this isn’t about him, is it? Stop bringing him up where he isn’t involved

[@biff5856]

Secretariat had been defeated 3 times by the Belmont. Twice as a 2 year old (dq'd once) and in the Wood Memorial by Angle Light a stablemate. The horse that was never given a break opinion wise was Seattle Slew. Billy Turner did a masterful job of bringing him through the T.C. undefeated. For that he got fired. Seattle lost his next start.

[@smwfan1000]

Tiz the Law was best horse coming into the Belmont and looked every part the favorite. Nice horse.

Decent run by Tiz The Law, and a pretty fast paced race too. Comparitively, Secretariat ran the 3/4 mile in 1:09.8, against 1:09.94 in this one, but hard to make a meaningful comparison with such different distances. Perhaps we should call this COVID version of The Belmont Stakes as "the belmont stakes". Regardless, well done to the Tiz!

[@josephhale9198]

HUH?!

[@DoubleDogDare54]

There will be no "Triple Crown" this year because the timing and distance of the races is not traditional. This is an example of holding an event simply to say you held an event. Almost happened in the '40s when there was pressure to cancel the Derby during WWII. Churchill Downs/Matt Winn stated the Derby would be held if only one horse showed up to canter around the track. This year it is pretty much the same thing. They are just place-saving to say it was run in 2020 but nobody is taking any of this seriously.

@HotRodCustomGuitars, "In New York, even having 21 percent of the population exposed, if that serological survey is accurate, has overrun hospitals and led to the death of one in every 400 New Yorkers, while the vast majority of the population remains susceptible." That means if everyone gets infected, you can expect 5 in 400 to die. That's a death rate of 1.25%. Extrapolate it to the whole country and you are talking about 4 million deaths.

I was not a fan of Belmont's pandering to other trainers and shortening the race but Barclay Tagg was the sole trainer who said his horse was ready for one and a half, after all we are a couple weeks past when the Belmont would normally be run, but pander they did and then shockingly all the trainers who complained about the distance never made it into the paddock because their "champions" were too fragile. The shortened race didn't end up being anything but a foregone conclusion and a worrying precedent for future runnings. Tiz would have won if he'd have started where they normally would. He was fit as a fiddle. Let's just hope certain trainers don't manage to influence the distance for any longer than it took Tiz to get to the winner's circle.

@@biff5856 I think American horses could benefit by the Euro style of running. Break slow, run slow until the last quarter, then pick up the pace and the horse with the most jet fuel in the tank wins. They don't rocket out of the gate and whip around the turns in the same direction race after training session after gallop. They go both directions and train on different surfaces. They race on softer ground. America is too caught up with hard dirt, speedballs and sprinting. No wonder so many horses break down on US tracks.

[@davidw.robertson448]

I doubt there will be a Triple Crown winner this year since the Derby has been postponed until September and the Preakness until October. It is difficult for a horse to hold its form for that length of time. Triple Crown Champions are usually trained to reach peak form for a time that covers the three races. This year the schedule is too extended so the winners of the last two legs will likely be outsiders.

[@frostedicepharoah7723]

Tiz The Law is undoubtably a great classic horse but I still think Maxfield is #1.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Maxfield is out with a busted leg and is not only off the radar, he'll probably be retired. So he's not #1. Never was. As far as "great" is concerned, TTL just won a 9F race. "Great" is Forego, John Henry, Kelso, Citation, Cigar, Sunday Silence, Affirmed, Seattle Slew. Many more. Heck, I'd even rate Canonero II over TTL right now as he accomplished more by this time of the year. TTL is a nice enough colt. But "great"? Not by a long shot.

Charlatan has the usual "puffy ankle" that pops up before they are retired for the good of the horse. Needs so much time off they aren't even thinking Derby, Preakness, nothing. Best thing he's got going right now in his barn is Gamine. She could wind up being his Derby "colt" this year as everything else has Morning Glory Fever and has petered out. He has Cezanne, who could be anything at this point, but has only one maiden race to his credit.

[@CC-xn5xi]

@@DoubleDogDare54 Are they actually covering up doping by not racing Charlatan? Because Baffert's under a microscope right now.

[@DoubleDogDare54]

@@CC-xn5xi My understanding is the colt has something going on with one ankle. It isn't chipped but it could become a chip if they don't let up on him and give him time off so the whatever can heal on its own.

If Tiz the Law wins all three triple crown races, there has to be an Astrik behind it. Or all future Belmont Stakes races have to be shortened like this one. He was not tested at 1/1/2 miles for the last race. This was a stupid mistake, there was no reason to run the Belmont stakes first.

[@kelseygreenwood4475]

It’s great to the colts get to run but doesn’t seem the same. Hopefully next year will be a better year for racing. But they only get to be 3 once.

How? This isn't the REAL Belmont Stakes. If it was the REAL Belmont Stakes it would be a 1 1/2 NOT 1 1/8. If Tiz the Law "wins" and is awarded as the Triple Crown winner it's an embarrassment to the horses/owners/jockeys/trainers that actually ran all three races and proved themselves i.e. Secretariat. It's a joke and a slap in the face

They must've taken a big chunk of track out. Secretariat would've won this in 1:02, easy. He'd lap this field.

[@tarkusi5111]

The Belmont was always the race that separated the horses. With the shortened race this means nothing and if the horse eventually wins all three races there would have to be an asterisk.

[@karaamundson3964]

I agree about the asterisk because of the length. But I emphatically do not agree with these entitled couch potatoes who think they know more about racing than those who decided to shorten the race in the interests of *all* the horses' health and safety. Sending relatively green colts out to battle the 1 1/2 could brraj their bodies or hearts and taking 3/8 off is only sensible.

@@karaamundson3964 they run the races every year Kara so why in 2020 are they just now taking these green horses into consideration? aren't 3 year olds green every year they run in the Derby Preakness and Belmont why the sudden change now
