Somewhere, I hope The Tin Man read that post and laughed...

Why is that? This horse burns on the front end and runs them off their feet early by opening long leads or is able to ACCELERATE once headed late. If I remember correctly, The Tin Man got good setups, set slow paces, and won the cheap way.

You really need to watch of few of PP's races; especially the last one at MTH. Might wake you up.

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of PP. I just was commenting that The Tin Man almost won two Millions in a row on the front end.
