I thought he retired after that turf race he won at SA over the winter. Hes entered on Travers Day at Saratoga in a turf race. Interesting.

This horse is often injured, often retired, and always comes back months later. If anyone but Ken & Sarah owned him, he'd have been retired a million times over the years and stayed retired. Good to see him back...

They cited oversaturation of the stud market as the reason to bring him back. I think the same thing happened with Mass Media.

I was at Santa Anita when he won that turf race that day, it was a great turn of foot. I had heard they were gonna retire him after that race, but they were so encouraged buy it, they kept him in training.

they decided way back when not to retire him, and then an injury. he's a good horse, it's a shame he keeps having problems of one kind or another. read the other day about their plans for him the rest of the year. hope he does well...and stays in one piece.

He won that turf race because he was allowed to lope along on an easy lead. Thats all. The jockeys fell asleep at the wheel. People called Tin Man's victory lucky, you ought to watch this replay. Talk about lucky.

If he wins on Saturday, maybe Ole Ken Ramsey will do that victory dance of his like he did in Dubai when Roses in March won.
