To answer your question Mike, yes I do feel the Tin Man can win the BC. I have a gut feeling he will not be on the lead in the race, rather sit 2nd or 3rd and win rating. Regarding a head to head with Cacique, we'll have to work out some kind of odds on that. I wouldnt take that bet straight up when I can get it at Pinnacle for a much nicer payoff. Actually, I'd rather just bet him to win, because if he doesnt win, it will probably be Cacique who beats him.

Not sure why you would propose the Tin Man would run in both the Hirsch and the Oct 7th race, and then the BC? 3 grade 1's in a matter of 8 weeks?
That would be asking a lot and normally isnt how Mandella works.

Huh?
Tim, I mean that EC would run in the Oct 7th race and the Cup, I wasnt talking about the Tin Man. And why would EC ship out there to run in race worth less money and about 1/10th the prestige? It would make zero sense.

Yup, I misunderstood your post, sorry. I have no idea why Todd would ship his horse out there, that was news to me. Somebody mentioned on here that was the story and I did not think it could possibly be true.
