Tinny is about the same this morning , his spirit seems to be doing better than ours at this point . His eyes look good and his coat is healthy and he is munching away on his hay. I think he doesnt understand why he has to be tied up , he's all like what did I do wrong.

Good to hear. He's a true warrior, and will be missed on the track... I would LOVE to see him take John's place at the Horse Park when he heals up.

Thanks for the update, Honu - hope you and the rest of the crew are doing as well as Tinny.

Honu, can you say what bone was broken?

Here's the Bloodhorse link to the story:

Honu, I'm so very sorry- all my sympathy to all of you who kept him racing at the top for so long. What a grand warrior he is, and what fun he was to watch. Best wishes to him for a good recovery.

I think we are all pulling for the Tin Man. The fight that brought him so many wins will allow him to pull through this I hope. I am praying.

He is going to have to stay that way until the bones start to heal.
