Tim he is a nice horse but you are fooling yourself and not us. The fact is that Live Life(who actually held 3rd in the Beverly D!!!!) went exactly 20 lengths faster than the Tin man. Your argument holds no water. Envisoon The Tin Man TWENTY lengths behind Live Life. There is no way to even begin to express just how slow the pace was. The minute the 3/4 time was up on the board there wasn't any way it was going to be anything but those two horses in that order. Horses that talented who are allowed to go that slow will never chuck it. Hes a great horse, he was before the Million and is now, but you really can't say that the race proved anything except that the connections on cacique and English Channel were extremely arrogant and igonred the Tin Man's ability. However if you feel so strongly that he is better than those two horses I will be happy to bet you straight up if they meet again that both horses beat the Tin man. be happy to give you that proposal, very happy. They got fooled once, they won't get fooled the next time.
