Default Tin Man leaves Mandella for farm..
Just got the text from Honu and she has asked me to pass this along.

Sad day for the Mandella barn.

He is being sent to River Edge Farm, where is where always went for his layups.

Very solid career. Enjoy your days in the field old fella. Thanks for reminding us what racing is about.

I was under the impression that he was retired upon his freak injury several months back (and didn't think he had any hope of coming back).
Either way, he'll be missed.

Yeah he was.

I read somewhere that he leaves for his new residence today.

Happy and healthy days always.

He was retired right after that happened, but he has been around the Mandella barn recouperating. Hono would be able to tell us more about why and what is going on, when she gets logs on again
