Please explain how you put this horse on such a higher ground than the Tin Man.

Cacique is a fast horse,
Enlglish Channel is a fast horse,
Grey Swalllow is a fast horse,
Relaxed Gesture is a fast horse.

the tin man is a slow horse.

see the difference?

you and richi can take turns whacking the tin man off all you want(hes a gelding so its not going to be all that productive),
but the bottom line is that he has NEVER shown he can beat top class competition unless he gets away with a ridiculously slow pace.

even when he did get away with a slow pace in the 2002 BCT, he still lost to a weak running of the race.

now please, unless you are somehow going to magicaly make the fractions in the ArlMillion faster, shut the hell up about the horse.
Or at the very least, stop trying to convice me that he is faster than form would indicate.
I dont give a sh*t how good you think he is.
hes not going to win the BCT.

but like I have always asked,
please bet your last dollar, your wife's last dollar, your parents' last dollar and everyone other dollar you can borrow on the tin man on Nov 4.
I want your freaking money.
