Tiz the Law captured the Belmont Stakes in June but the colt came up short to Authentic by 1 1/4 lengths in the Kentucky Derby in September.
Unfortunately, we won't see a highly anticipated rematch in the Preakness as Tiz the Law will skip the event and start training for the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 7.
With Tiz the Law sitting out, Authentic has been made the morning-line favorite at 9/5 odds (Bet $100 to win $180).
