The stretchy Titastic Tizast tables devoured the additional removal of the 1 3/16 mile-twinspires.com Louisiana derby of $ 1 million.
“This horse gets better at the right time,” the Hall of Fame coach Steve Asmussen, after taking his fifth Louisiana derby, and Todd Platcher for most victories in the Marquee race of Fair Ground's band.
The promptly achieved performance of Tiztastic fills the emptiness left by its starey order, which was thrown by the derby trail last month, with an ankle chip leaving an explosive gate-to-wire victory in the FASIG-TIPTON-STAR-STAR-STAKES of grade 2 in class 2. The size is in possession of Winchell full-bluts, the co-owner of Tiztastic, together with the Coolmore partners, Ms. John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith.
The 100 qualification points of 100 Kentucky Derby, which were earned for the victory of the Louisiana Derby, also cemented Tizastics Square on the first Saturday in May. He has a total of 119. With only six weeks until May 3 in Churchill Downs, Tiztastic is currently leading the way to the Kentucky Derby loading board.
The Cinderella story of Chunk of Gold, who sold only $ 2,500 as a yearling, continued in the Louisiana Derby when he overtook the immediate repetition by half a long length for second place with 10: 1 chances. The 32-year-old Ethan West trained, a Chunk of Gold is also guaranteed a trip to Louisville after collecting 50 derby qualification points in the Louisiana Derby for a total of 75.
The 1 3/16 miles of the Louisiana Derby only proved to be a recipe for success for Tiztastic. The long -striking colt, a twice winner on the lawn, had looked at the dirt, but seemed to be grass -bound if he couldn't hit his ticket for the roses. Tiztastic was placed twice as a 2-year-old in Churchill Downs as a 2-year-old. He started his second campaign in the Oaklawn Park and ended a good third on a special route in the Southwest Stakes of class 3 before ran a flat fifth in the rebels in class 2 on February 23.
“We thought he would run bigger in the southwest,” said Asmussen. “Since he did not drove his race and had trained so well here, we brought him back here because he knew that he needed more distance. He was going on when he needs it. The horse has a great mind about him. He drove a solid race, but I think it's more in him.”

Tiztastic, for the first time by Joel Rosario on Saturday, took up his usual position near the pack of the pack when Sam F. Davis Stakes winner John Hancock and colleague Asmussen trained Yinzer an early pace of 22.99 and: 46.84. Rosario and Tiztastic easily started horses when the field went into the distance. As soon as the stallion foal four was clearly angled in the tip of the lane, he inhaled the additional properties of the long exhibition center.
The early parliamentary groups demanded fourth place as 9-5 post-time favorites.
“He did everything right. He has a bit of traffic on the three-dinner pole,” said Rosario about Tiztastic. “The pace was quick and I had the horse below me to do it.”
Tiztastic ($ 17) was conveniently won in a time of 1: 56.20 and won comfortably.
Upsets seemed to be on the agenda on the fair grounds until a good jubilation for the $ 396,000-fasig-TIPTON-FAIR-FAIR-OAKS in the amount of $ 396,000, and she had nothing of it. She defended her unbeaten record and status as probably as a favorite of Kentucky Oaks with a 3 1/2 length victory against Pacesetter Ahavah.
The defense of the Longines Breeders Cup Classic winner and 3-year-old male Sierra Leone had presented two races in the Up-to-date Orleans Classic Stakes by Relyne Gi from Hagyard and the previous race on the map.
After the jockey Luis Saez was broken, he fell well from a moderate pace well and waited for the second round to take his step. Good cheers were directed towards the route and slowly pushed away from Ahavah. Gowell's Delight was a distant third when good jubilation ended the 1 1/16 miles on a swift route in 1: 43.44. He earned 100 points to earn 145 points into the upper slot on the way to the Kentucky Oaks ranking in the upper slot for the Kentucky Oaks ranking. Ahavah, Gowell's joy, quickick and her laughter, the respective second to fifth finisher on the trade fair racks, deserved points on a scale from 50 to 25 to 15 to 10.
“Six weeks before the (Kentucky) oak,” said coach Brad Cox. “It is 6-against-6 and the pressure is switched on. We are very proud of you and hope that we will have it as good in six weeks as now. It will be tough.” – Bob Kieckhefer
