TDN Writers' Room Podcast, Episode 30: April 1, 2020 with guest Jack Knowlton

The TDN Writers' Room Podcast is presented by Keeneland.

If the Kentucky Derby were going to be held the first Saturday in May, you'd have to say right now the favorite would be Tiz The Law (Constitution). But the first Saturday in September? We talk to Tiz The Law's owner Jack Knowlton.

Seventeen years ago, Jack Knowlton's band-of-buddies Sackatoga Stable took the racing world by storm when their “gutsy gelding” Funny Cide (Distorted Humor) upset the GI Kentucky Derby before adding the GI Preakness S. and becoming one of the most popular horses of his generation.

Things look much different for Sackatoga these days, with almost all new faces, but Knowlton remains the constant, and now he and his partners have another top Kentucky Derby contender to get excited about in GI Curlin Florida Derby victor Tiz the Law (Constitution). Knowlton joined the TDN Writers' Room podcast presented by Keeneland with hosts Joe Bianca and Bill Finley Wednesday as the Green Group Guest of the Week to talk about possibly rekindling the Derby magic.
