If The Tin Man runs sets those splits in the Arlington Million, or any other race with the likes of English Channel and Cacique in there....they both run by him like he was standing still.

I agree with Richi...a gutsy effort, not his A game, but all out to hold off TH Approval and Artiste Royal is not the kind of effort you are looking for going into the BC. But, he is 8YO and he has to be getting tired after the year he has had. Even if he finishes off the board in the BC Turf, he has nothing to be ashamed of this year.

GPK,
Nothing I disagree with. Gutsy, to say the least.
Slow early fractions says a lot, and coming back from two bowed tendons and all the time off, yup. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Let's see how he came out of this race before we talk about the BC for him.
He was tested hard.

DTS

ps...check out the "joke of the day in "esoteric"...I put up two golf jokes just for you.
