I lost the pick 3 because of him! I had the 5th and 6th races. I didn't have the Tin Man though. I had Right Special and Kip Deville

Didn't see the race- what happened to Kip?

Anyone that left him out and used Right Special deserved to be out of the pick 3. He was an absolute single in any play. Kip @7-5 and Tin @ 7-2 was exactly the opposite of what the odds should have been. $9 against that field was the biggest gift I've seen in a while.

Performance from The Tin Man, he is fun to watch! Kip Deville just got trapped in by a wall of horses, had no place to go. Talamo on Willow O Wisp improved that one to a 3rd, and Get Funky ran a pretty good one too. But The Tin Man was much the best!

I do not think he had room to split anything. In fact he tried to go outside any there was nothing there either. Mig just put him in a black hole with no where to go.

No I have not. From the regular replay it looked like he had nowhere to go. Where did you see the head on? Where did he have the hole?

Did you teach Victor how to ride?

He did a great job trapping Kip Deville long enough that when he made his move other horses crept up and slammed the door shut. Very good job by Espinoza.

Got to give the jocks credit everyonce in a while. A bit of luck also required as Kip Deville had no place to go in the stretch after Victor shielded the outside earlier.

Deville had already lost the race by the time he had the room. He had already lost momentum with the slight check imo looking at the head on and looking at it in normal mode.
