That's unfortunate.

We need more horses like The Tin Man. What a solid record.

It shows how smart Mandella is, a true horseman. He knows the Tin Man doesnt have a chance in hell in the BC Turf and that they took a shot at the Million. They know that was his ceiling, very good news.

I appriciate the compliment of my boss's horsemanship skills . Your thoughts on why he is missing the race are not correct.

The Tin Man didnt have a chance in hell of winning the BC Turf, I like the horse and have won money on the horse. But lets face it he was never top class, won his share of important races and was very fortunate to get the trip in the Million that enabled him to win.

That is your opinion , people didnt like him when he went to Dubai , nobody liked him when he went into the Million , yet the horses that he has competed with this year and beat are now being talked about as possible winners of their prospective races.
He is doing what is best for the horse. Mandella doesnt lie and he isnt scared if he was he never would have beat Cigar.

he had every chance to win the Turf that any other American horse has -- and remember he ran second to David Junior in Dubai.

David Junior would win the Turf for fun if he were not running in the Classic.

No American has beaten the Tin Man this year, so it would seem that he would have had as good a chance as any American in the race.

At least that's what comparative logic says.

You are a moron, a true moron.
They aren't passing because they fell there is a ceiling, hes not right.
Grow up and stop acting like a know it all in something that you have been exposed 1000 times as knowing absolutely nothing about.

Guy likes to run his mouth and tell you all the time who can't win.
hes only said that about at least 5 horses who went on to win grade ones.
You'd think he'd eventually learn, but he never does. Its very frustrating. His parents have to be early candidates for sainthood.

Agree 100% with that. Despite being called The Tin Man, this horse has never lacked for a heart.

Hope he gets back in form so we can enjoy watching him a little longer.

for the Tin Man to have a chance in the BC turf he would have to be 200%

Bernardini · #13 10-20-2006, 02:52 PM

I wouldnt blame him a bit for this decision either !!!

#14 10-20-2006, 02:53 PM

I was going to make The Tin Man my best bet. The horse's welfare comes first. The connections are the best.

Was he 100% last race? I sure don't think he would have beat TH Approval at 12 furlongs the way he ran last out.

The BC Turf is going to one short field.

Great move by the trainer. I like this horse but there was no chance he was going to win this race on the lead. There are too many good horses going in this race. He is a gelding and there is another year for him.

Yeah, I know Honu, you gallop him. Don't mean nuthin. Been around to long, seen to much, rode to many great ones, and I NEVER pay attention or listen to riders now, or in years past (with the exception of Shoe).

Good for you.

Boy, listen to you. The boards biggest braggart saying it "don't mean nuthin" and going on to say "rode too many great ones." WTF? Now you're supposedly sitting in a swank hotel lounge, sucking on a cigar, sipping gin and living it up? At least the girl don't go around blowing smoke up our asses about the horse/s she gallops and saying "told you so". I only wish I kept a list of all the Frankel horses you touted and they tanked (3+ yrs. worth) only for you to come back with an excuse. And for all those champs that you "touched" - it don't mean nuthin', right?

Crown@club · #19 10-20-2006, 07:12 PM

Oh man the BC TURF at Arlington.

Alright their going slow. Looking good.

They're still going slow. Yea baby its in the bag.

Coming around the final turn: "Turn on the Jets! You got them! Easy Money"

Father Bobed 4th! UGH!!!!

Where was he at SA?

Boy you have been bumping your head alot lately. The home you're in should be putting the helmet on you after they dress you.
P.S. we don't want to see your old post after any race.
