I’ve never been much for horse racing, but there was something about Tiz the Law’s weekend victory at the Belmont Stakes that just plain got me.
It wasn’t the way the 3-year-old colt exploded into the final turn and left the competition in the dust down the home stretch, though that was pretty cool.
It wasn’t that he proved — in the first major sporting event in New York since the coronavirus pandemic hit — that sports can get the job done even when the grandstands are a ghost town, though that he did.
It wasn’t the Triple Crown dreams he inspired or the winning tickets he punched or anything like that.
