The Tin Man wins Group-3 Hackwood Stakes

Sat 16 Jul 2016

James Fanshawe's improving sprinter showed his class to continue his progress towards Group-1 targets this autumn.  The four year-old son of Equiano progressed through the ranks at a rapid rate last season culminating with an excellent fourth in the Group-1 Champions Sprint on British Champions Day.  Beginning this season with an impressive Listed victory at Windsor, The Tin Man produced his trademark electric turn of foot to run out a cosy winner of the Group-3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury at the weekend and is now all set for his next assignment in the Group-1 Haydock Sprint Cup.
