The Tin Man injured/retired

He was undergoing a procedure to fix something minor and in getting up from anesthesia he fractured a knee. Gotta say I'm a real fan of that pool after Barbaro's surgeries. The Tin Man can't really afford any more setbacks beyond what's happened because it could then put his life in danger they said.

I think it's ironic, after 31 starts he breaks down in a stall. They are fragile animals, they can get hurt anywhere.

If they do anything it seems to me they have to send him to New Bolton or somewhere where there's a pool. Or allow him to recover and send him with Lava Man to the Horse Park for all the fans to love.
