lava man...
 

i think he losses this weekend, with a good ride i think ball four has a big shot, and also arson squad, i strongly feel one of those horses will upset him this weekend. the connections dont know what they want to do with lava man, turf, dirt, dubai........i think he might be a bit vunerable in this spot

The connections don't know what they want to do with the horse? That will come as a surprise to Doug O'Neill.

Here he is tonight on ATRAB talking about Lava Man as well as Great Hunter, Liquidity, Notional, Cobalt Blue and Stevie Wonderboy... And even "Sonic".. http://www.attheracesandbeyond.com/stream/22707c.mp3

wow...Ball Four over Lava Man???? Sometimes you just need to sit one out and admire a nice horse and watch him run...but Ball Four needs Florence, KY and slow Grade 3 company

AND a bad ride from Desmeroux.....

CORRECT!!!! That was a peach he gave PTap!!

It's always nice to hear about the 2007 Kentucky Derby winner. :D

I'm telling on you to Scat Daddy & Mr. T. :D

Excellent interview Steve. Actually called my brother after it was over and told him to listen to the archives. A ton of info. on all of his horses crammed into a half hour. O'Neill is one of the true "nice guys" in the sport.

I don't care where or when it happens, I can't wait to see Lava Man kick English Channel's arse... I hope it is in Dubai, but I'd settle for anywhere other than CA.

Thx Bigs.. He's easy to talk to and has so many going... It was a fun show.

There's also a great half hour at 4:30 with Steve Rei, founder of the new National Equine Rescue Coalition...

kasept i was not aware of that when i made this post, the last i herd was a ALL TURF campaign, thanks for the info... but anyway you look at it im not intrested in betting him at 1-5, and i still think one of those 2 horses can beat him

I give respect to Lava Man now. He is to me the modern day John Henry because he is as effevtive on the dirt and on the turf. I hope he sweeps the california big races this year like he did last. What a feat that would be!!!!

PG,

Honestly, I stopped trying to beat him, in California anyway, after he cost me the Magna 5 last year.. (The Magna 5 where Miesque's Approval won the Sunshine Millions Turf.. at 50-1 or whatever).

Is wilko going in the Kilroe, or the Derby

His Derby days are over :p but he is going to the Big Cap.

The only play that makes less sense than betting against Lava Man in California, is betting on Lava Man anywhere else.

I dont know why I had Santa Anita Derby stuck in my head

Wilko is going to win the Big Cap

I enjoyed it, too. I liked how quickly O'Neill credited the groom for his work. And I got a kick about the groom maybe having a Lava Man wing in the new house he's building in Guatemala.

--Dunbar

Wilko isn't going to be entered in the big cap.
I don't think Dollase knows where he's going next, but I'm sure they'd like to find a spot for him to be competitive and it clearly isn't graded stakes races.

It is the OTHER Tiznow baby you are thinking of that is going to win the derby Cajun!


And on the Lava Man subject, Should any of us really doubt LM in California? COME ON! Our job is figure out who to put the exacta with..

Early reports in DRF said it was a go, but it does look like they changed their minds from the latest article, thanks.

Ball Four should of won the last race if the jock would of ever asked him to run inside the 1/8 pole:D

Man, you had a pretty bad day.

This guy makes Seattle look like Jimmy the Greek...No offense Seattle--I am a fan of yours. LOL

i did have a bad day i lost $700 today, it happens in this game... im not backing down from anything i post on here

That made me laugh. Do you mind if I borrow that?

Of course I don't mind.:D

what about when you said you weren't going to post on here anymore?
you seem to have backed down from that.

I have no problem with him, but his two biggest post of the week have been crazy!!! Saying Nobiz is the unbeatable horse, and saying that Lava Man will get beat. We all know Nobiz is very beatable as shown today, and we also have learned through time that Lava Man is absolutely dominant in California as shown today.

it may be too much, I wasn't involved in any of the earlier altercations that may have occured or what not. I have been in a few arguments on here with people (most recently with dahoss and pillowpants) but you just have to forget about the difference of opinions and let it go and move on. It does no good to pile on someone and never let off, but I dunno, maybe he deserves it maybe he doesn't, I just won't get into it.

It wasn't an altercation, it stemmed from this thread from yesterday.
read it from the beginning if you want a good laugh.
I'll back off on "the kid".:) I guess my point was made.
