The Tin Man

[Gander]

Props to Mandella, one of my favorite trainers, and Rupert for being so damn opinionated on the outcome of this race.

I was originally going to bet Better Talk Now and Ace, used them both heavily in the national pick 4, but I changed my mind when it actually came time to bet this race and I was in the proverbial hole. Ended up making a nice size win bet on the Ole Tin Man and was thrilled to see a ride from Espinoza that Kent Desormeaux should watch over and over and learn from.

Great win by a horse I would have rooted for even if I didnt have a bet on.
These are so few and far between today. Horses like this give you goose bumps.
