Tiz the Law, who won the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes in his most recent start, had his final work for the Nov. 30 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs when he worked a fast five furlongs in 59.60 seconds over the Belmont main track Saturday morning. The work was the fastest of 11 at the distance on the main track, but there were far more half-mile works and the surface didn't appear to be especially fast for morning work. 

Barclay Tagg trains Tiz the Law, a New York-bred, for Sackatoga Stable, the same connections who won the 2003 Kentucky Derby with Funny Cide. Tiz the Law beat talented New York-bred Dream Bigger debuting in a New York-bred maiden-special-weight race before blitzing the Champagne by four lengths. Tagg and Sackatoga elected to bypass the Breeders' Cup Juvenile in favor of the KJC. Tiz the Law ships Monday from New York to Kentucky.

There was plenty of other workout action Saturday morning in New York, much of it coming from the Chad Brown barn. Brown worked Significant Form a half-mile in 48.55 seconds over the Belmont training track preparing for a start in the Grade 1 Matriarch at Del Mar, and sent all three horses he's pointing to the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby there for half-mile drills; Valid Point and Standard Deviation both were clocked in 48.49 while Digital Age went in 48.44. 

Tax, whose last start yielded a seventh-place finish in the Travers Stakes, worked a half-mile in 49.80 over the training track for trainer Danny Gargan.

Two-year-old Ajaaweed, fourth in the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland last out, went five furlongs on the main track in 1:00.85 for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin.
