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?

Well I think the mush was on. The TVG analysts were calling him the best turf miler in the country repeatedly. Thanks to them I went deep in the race to start the pick 4.

Caught behind a wall of horses with no where to go.

Kip was behind a wall and never had a place to run. I also think that he might of hit the top of his form cycle in his last win. Alittle time away from the track is in order.

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.

Well then you and Crystal must have been a blubbering pair. What a man!!! Some horses just have IT, and he has IT!!

[MaTH716]

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?

First of all, thank you. What a great site. It looked like Chinese Dragon filled the hole on the rail on the turn at the top of the stretch. The only other hole I see is about at the 1/16 pole and he is out of horse at that point. He had a garden trip most of the way, maybe he just didn't have the horse today. Personally I think he just had nowhere to run.

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.
