not saying Lava man doesn't have guts, he does. but I sorta look at it like he is the best of a so-so bunch out there.
who were the quality horses in that field?
as bad as the Suburban field was I think it had better quality. no claimers. with a wimpy pace like that fairbanks would have wired that field. 2:00.5 final time in the Suburban versus 2:03 and change in the Gold cup. hmmm.
and people are always totally stumped why Lava Man doesn't win when he travels. it's not that complicated.

If Fairbanks could of wired the Gold Cup he would of stayed to do just that. There is a reason horses dont ship to take the easy money in California. Lava Man is one of them.
