I've never given Lava Man the credit he deserves and have always thought he was a little overated. He changed my mind after this last race. I thought it was very impressive. After stumbling badly and being forced to rate third, he still showed enough heart to squeeze out a victory. He would have had a legit excuse if he didn't run a lick. I still think he would be better served staying on the West Coast but I'm a bigger fan of his after this victory.
