Tin Man/Better Talk Now

[Honu]

I love it !!!!!! The Tin Man has everyone guessing , in his defense about the Million last year , it was all jockey error behind him, they all thought the old fart would stop but they werent smart enough to even realize that their horses were about to break into a jog they were going sooooo slow. Now with him winning from a little off the pace in his first race back its got people wondering what hell do next time, well Ill tell you what he will do next time, whatever the rider wants, if the pace is hot hell let em go if its slow he will cruise to the lead , to Tinny it doesnt matter he just enjoys running .

I think his races are pretty planned out at this point , the American handicap the end of this month and then the Arlington million again.

You may be onto something but I really believe that they all thought that he couldnt win so they would just let the old guy have his fun and then they would all swarm him at the end.
