I too like Lava Man but watch out for Bellamy Road.
If the dirt horses take turns beating each other, then a turfer can get HOY. HOY was there for Slew O Gold in '84 but he lost in the BCC letting John Henry slip in. In '93 (?) had Bertrando not lost the BCC to Arcangues, he would have been HOY but Kotashan won it with his superior year on the turf.
