The Tin Man: the veteran who has taken his owners on the yellow brick road

The Tin Man is a horse trained by Fanshawe. He won the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2017 and Haydock's Sprint Cup in 2018. The horse has been in training for six and a half years. The Tinman has his own playpen and gets turned out everyday. Fanshahe has had the family for 25 years and the horses don't show much at home. Jacko started an in-house syndicate. Tom handled the horse during his formative years on the gallops. His family has played a big part in his success. They have trained the star females, Soviet Song, Speedy Board, Ribbons and Frizzante.

The Tin Man won Royal Ascot.

Tom Fanshawe has recently returned from a two-year trip to Australia. He was entrusted with bringing The Tin Man to the morning races. Tom jnr. rode The tin man for three years before he left for Australia and he is very satisfied with the way Claire Mackay has handled the horse. The horse is one of the first faces Tom sees every morning. The trainer hopes it will be his for good. It's a safe bet that box 19 will stay at Pegasus Stables.
