The Tin Man is the pace, along with Ace

Thanks...

Have to imagine the sentimental favorites are the local Arlington horse and The Tin Man. I just don't see how folks couldn't root for an eight year old gelding in a race like this.

I love the Tin Man but I will be against him in the wagering. I think Ace is very much the horse to beat in here, even if he hasnt won in 2 years. Have a feeling he sits a golden trip in here and gets the first run on the closers. Heck he may even opt to be on the lead. More when I see the draw.

a birdie told me to get nuts on Ace, regardless if English channel shows up

Remember BTN prefers softer going snd a firm turf could be his undoing.

I am a big fan of BTN as well. I actually visited Graham Motion at Fair Hill about 8 weeks ago and got to see BTN. He is one of the smallest male horses you will ever see racing at the level he does. I bet he isn't more than 15.1 Although I don't think they measure him, because it might give him a complex. LOL!

It's hard..... love both The Tin Man AND Phoenix Reach.

Devastated when he was injured and am still just shocked he's entered (and a little worried).

Ace though..... you'll see.

Come home safe, all of you.
