Ok, Lava Man on top?
 

What do you think? Is this a forgone conclusion?

If I was betting this race, I would do this:
All
with
All
with
Perfect Drift, Giacomo and Magnum

On top of the has beens, but had a nice career for a claimer:D

Lava Man is certainly the one to beat, but he's also listed at even money, so there is nothing to get too excited about there. Agree with euro, all/ drift/all:)

Just like last year, I have a feeling the Lava Man may be running out of gas based on his HGC race. Yes he had a terrible start and gave weight to all the others, but....

Have no idea how to bet this race. Will bet a $1 super just for a little action....Magnum/Drift/Lava/All

That would probably be a losing bet, almost everyone is going to have Giacomo and PD keyed in the 2nd and 3rd spots...If I was going to play this, most of my tickets would have LM keyed on top with a saver using Magnum on top, but I would hope that PD and Gia would not hit the board...

lava man, good reward ex box. shug isn't going to the west coast for the first time to waste anyone's time and money.

He's run out West before, finished fourth. I do not like GR in this spot, I think his off the pace style will be a problem on that bullring at Delmar...Maybe he gets 4th, but I am not betting this race, so good luck if you are...

thought i saw that shug had never been out there before....i guess it just meant him, not his horses!

i'm not betting it. i think lava man wins it...no value there!

the more i think about this in between watching golf and painting a room i am thinking of going this way

2 horses w/ 4 horses w/ 5 horses

$1 tri would cost $18

lava man and preachinatthebar w/ ? w/ ?

what 3 horses do i toss?

i think preachin's going to get fried up front... so I probably just put him in the winner's circle

gonna play it this way

Lava and Preachin w/ Lava, Preachin, Giacomo and Magnum w/ Lava, Preachin, Giacomo, Magnum and Super Frolic

gonna throw $8 at the Longacre Mile:eek:

10,11 w/ 9,10,11 w/ 7,9,10,11

I smell chalk

You have got to be kidding me the Pacific Classic has been put on hold for Womens Basketball what is wrong with the world.:mad:

I would say that it's a safe bet now that Lava Man is the real deal. :cool:

yeah, i would say so

Any votes for HOY?

What a freakin' machine he is!!

I guess so still don't think he has a chance in the classic.

well i guess i shoulda bet that!!! lol

and it was shugs first horse at del mar. just heard that again leading up to the race.

Wow what a horse. Great race.
As fas HOY goes, he has to venture East and meet real horses and leave the cozy confines of Cali. Good Reward is umm, just ok, to say the least back here in the East and he was 2nd. Lava is a really neat horse to watch, but beating Good Reward(LOL!!!) doesnt exactly make me wanna make a future bet on him in the BCC.

he's been throwing down the gauntlet all year, and picking it up again. that boy is the goods! only invasor can stop him for best older....HOY? we'll see, but he's on his way!!

did you see my post earlier in the thread? lol man i gotta open an account somewhere!

$200 tri for a dollar? :eek: :eek: :( :(

oops...told my daughter preachin would be last...and he was.
