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.
the hollywood race field was very average, agree

the suburbon was a crap field, if the gold cup was such an easy spot why run in the suburbon and not the gold cup when he was out there all winter? Because of Lava Man, his figures are very solid in california.

some very good horses have not shipped well but I am sure you knew that.
