The Old fella does it again!


Just watched THE TIN MAN hold off TH Approval and Artiste Royal to win the Clement L. Hirsch Memorial Turf Championship S.!

Who doesn't love this 8 y/o gelding?

I hope he can find a way to win the Breeders Cup Turf...what an exclamation point to an interesting career that would be. He loves the lead, runs with a lot of heart and has overcome some pretty serious injuries not to mention his advanced age (we all know how that can take a toll on you).
This win makes his 7th stakes win of his career.
The interview with owner Ralph Todd before the race was really neat as he described what a thrill it was to win the Arlington Millions.
I hope he comes out of the race in good shape with his next stop in Louisville in November.

Yeah, that was super cool for the geriatric to pull another big one out. I'd love to see him hand it to the Europeans come BC day.

The old guys represent everything good about racing. I win in the BC would be amazing!

Yep, he's one tough old bird but he'll have his hands full in Louisville.
