Bio
Barclay Tagg is best known as the trainer of 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Funny Cide, but he has been a trainer for more than four decades. Tagg saddled his first winner, Tudor’s Fancy, at Philadelphia’s now-defunct Liberty Bell in Jan. 1972. In 2019, another New York-bred gave Tagg a Kentucky Derby hopeful as Tiz the Law won the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes and then won the Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes in his 3-year-old bow.
