Tin Fandango

2015   Bay   Gelding

by Steele Tango (GB)  ex  Littlemoor Lass (GB)  ( Motivator )

Owner:  Ushers Court

From the first crop of the Group Three Winning Steele Tango, who comes from the brilliant family of Immortal Verse and Last Tycoon, out of an unraced Motivator Filly from the high class French family of the Prix Diane winner Rescousse.

He had three runs in Maiden company, at Lingfield, Newbury and Windsor before making his debut in handicaps at Nottingham in August 2018; initially quite harshly handicapped he showed quiet progression being placed four times in six starts before winning a staying Lingfield handicap really decisively under Josephine Gordon at the beginning of April 2019; after a deserved mid Summer break he returned to the track in the Autumn of 2019 and had three runs without quite recapturing his earlier form; he remains in training and we have identified the slight issue that he had last Autumn and he should be capable of really effective in staying handicaps on the resumption.

After one run, at Wolverhampton in June, to blow the cobwebs away he put in a much more proficient performance to be second at Chepstow in the third week of July, just failing to hold stablemate Bird for Life after attempting to make all.
