Lava Man Fans
 

This is for all the Lava Man's fans and the betters that will wager against him. We all know Lava Man was a Claimer , but not many know that O'neil raced him at Fairplex Park on their 5/8 mile "Bullring" race track. I'm telling you it doesnt get much cheaper that risking your horse to injury by running on this track. How lucky can you get? Will he win the Gold Cup?

Lava man, who's only bad performance was in the rolling hilly course over there on the little island of the rising son, in the past year, will most certainly win the Hollyrock gold cup, i mean, who is left out west to compete with him ??
have you seen the nominations ?

It will be interesting to see if he runs as well out of the detention barn this weekend. Due to O'Neil's positive test last week, Lava Man will have to be confined to the detention barn 24 hours prior to the Gold Cup. Even if the horse does not run well, this does not necessarily prove anything. If he runs poorly, it could be due to the horse not liking being in unfamiliar surrounding for 24 hours.
Even if the horse regresses by 4 lengths, he will probably still win. I think it will be a pretty weak field and probably a very small field. I would not expect it to be more than a 6 horse field.

He will destroy the field but if you dont consider that JCGC as a bad performance then I don't know what is. I have never liked the horse particularly especially after his 2 dreadful performances out of So Cal however he is the brightest star in the handicap division so far but I have no doubt Flower Alley will take over that role.
