Tiztastic wins the $1 million Louisiana Derby and qualifies for the Kentucky Derby

NEW ORLEANS — Tiztasitic galloped past three horses down the stretch to win the $1 million Louisiana Derby by two lengths on Saturday, earning the Steve Asmussen-trained horse enough Kentucky Derby qualifying points to enter the opening race of the Triple Crown. Going off at 9-1 from the third post, Tiztastic cruised just behind a tight pack of six frontrunners before picking up the pace in the final turn and was fourth by the time jockey Joel Rosario steered him on to the back stretch.
