Dumps the rider right out of the gate....thats about right for my biggest bet of the day. I do hope Caraballo is allright.

LOL, if the Tin Man ran 6F in 1:18, then how fast did the rest of them run?

A grade one winner in the premier turf race of the year outside the BC.

Doesnt matter how he got it done. He did. Get over it.

I like The Tin Man. I really do. I'll like him even more as a bettor the next time he races in that company. He stole the race....aint nothin' wrong with that, but let's call a spade a spade. Most of the credit should actually go to Espinoza, in my opinion.

Don't forget to give all the other jockey's their credit too....they were incredibly generous in letting Victor and TTM jog like they did. Very kind of those guys.

Gander · #14 08-15-2006, 04:21 PM

So if a horse like ENglish Channel or Cacique sat off of a hypothetical duel between Tin Man and Ace going 23.4 and won, their victories would have been deemed more worthy.

I just dont understand you guys who regard a wire to wire victory like this as phony.

Sort of like saying Tiger Woods going Thurs through Sunday in the lead doesnt count as much, hmmmmm? Hmmmmm?

That's true.

Yes, Garrett and Ace should have dueled with the Tin Man so Todd Plectcher could win another big stake. Just what everybody needs.

I have reported you to the analogy police for that one.

No, it's not like saying that at all

I never said the win was a phony....but it was an absolute gift and a total toss when handicapping for races in the fall.

Gander · #20 08-15-2006, 04:47 PM

No Kev, that wasnt thrown at you.

Lets not forget Cacique's win in the Manhattan was wire to wire.

The great Lure won most of his races wire to wire if I am not mistaken.

Skip Away won a bunch like that as well.

Doh!
