How F'n Cool is the Tin Man

Just read the article on DRF.com. What a stud (even without his nuts)...

I didn't understand the whole thing about the reason they took them off? Something about chest and neck muscles? So taking them off makes them not go through maturity?

I didn't read the artical, did they say the main reason he's able to race today is because of the Cushion track he trains on?

Yea I think the Cushion track helps but the reason Tinny has lasted this long is the humans that are in his life. They care more about the horse and his welfare than the almighty dollar. Mandella once said that he would take the horse to his house to sleep but his wife wouldnt let him.hehe And I dont doubt that for one minute.:D

What an ironic name. I mean sure The Tin Man looks like it was a name made for him......But there's no way to know that when the horse was 3 or something. lol I guess he was just destined to be "The Tin Man"
