Default The Tin Hombre

He's still great at 8, he and John Henry are the only 2 horses to win this race twice and at 8 years old.

Honu, is Tin coming to the Million? Would that mean that Honu would be coming also? I would think that is kinda logical, plus he could ship to Churchill and get ready there, if he wanted to. Million is only 6 weeks before the Breeders Cup so it is logical, I would think....

Well actually my friend Crystal gallops him and has since he was 2, I get on him when she isnt there but she would be the one going with him. I dont know what race they have planned for him next but I imagine it would be something at Del-Mar if things keep going well. Dont count me out tho, Im getting on some nice 2 yr olds and we have some I think could be there in the fall.
