I happen to agree with the oddsmaker and think these odds will hold up, maybe 8/1 on the Tin Man but certainly not much lower.

Cacique and English Channel are two very awesome horses right now who never fail to fire and keep the very best competition.
The Tin Man has won every race that he's run in since he came back off the layoff with the exception of the $2 million Dubai race where he ran 2nd to David Junior. He's been running in nothing but Grade I and Grade II races and he's won all of them except for his 2nd place finish to David Junior in the Grade I $2 million Dubai race.
David Junior would be the favorite in this race.

I think he beat him by about 2-3 lengths but David Junior is one of top few best turf horses in the world.

David Junior might be the best. He has actually beaten Ouija Board at Sandown.

In addition, I think that The Tin Man went off at about 3-1 in that big race in Dubai. If he's going off at 3-1 in there, he's not going to be 10-1 in the Arlington Million. There is no great horse in the Million this year. There are some very good horses but there's no super star. I actually expected to The Tin Man to be the favorite.

No way, The midwest Pletcher steam and the euro's are guaranteed to take action. Everyone in these midwest tracks want to tell their friends that they had the Pletcher horse that won today yadda yadda.

I am looking forward to seeing the sheets for this race. I know Tin is just as quick as the others, so might get some serious value in the pick threes with him

He's been unbeatable since he's come back with the exception of his 2nd place to finish to David Junior. If he runs the way he's been running, he's got to be the horse to beat.
