The Kentucky Derby this season finds its new date on September 5, 2020. Churchill Downs Inc. has announced that they need to move the Derby to a later date this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This announcement has discouraged some horse racing fans who have been counting the days down, anticipating the Derby to start in May.
While this is true, the extension seems to come as great news for Derby hopefuls as well as the bettors. Horses can get an extra training day where they can still hone their speed to win the racing game. At the same time, bettors can also have the opportunity to strop a more efficient betting strategy to earn a substantial amount when wagering.
So, as the date gets stretched before the Derby settles, horses have the transcendent talent to showcase at the dirt track, and they can even shine more if they utilize the idle days well before they compete. That said, here the horses you must watch out for as they saddle in the Run For The Roses this September.
Tiz The Law
Tiz the Law’s odds value in the Derby trail ranking seems to come unstoppable since the first quarter of this year. He has been on the top of his game since birth, and if you use a horse racing calculator, it will show how high his current betting odds are. Tiz the Law is bred by Twin Creeks Farm, trained by Barclay Tagg, and ridden by Manuel Franco.
Looking into his racing records, Tiz the Law is an undefeated three-year-old colt that will run in Churchill Downs this September. He is the current Champagne Stakes winner.
