I guess I was preoccupied with LY Derby...

but I\'d either forgotten - or missed - that The Tin Man passed. (http://www.drf.com/2015-memoriam).

Barbara Livingston does her usual fantastic work if you click on it.  I shared a 9 seater flight from Hot Springs with Mandella one day back to DFW - he\'d lost the handicap and was nice enough, but a bit gruff preferring to talk oil fields with the other passenger (all 3 of us) in spite of me sharing my Bloodhorse mag with him...but when I asked about the Tin Man..well, let\'s just say you could have lit up the sky with that smile.  Obviously a fav of this great trainer.

Several on her video that I smile when I see them. Some good memories, and some good returns.  should make a few donations to the retirement funds...
