So lest get you on the record now, do you believe he will win a race if shipped away from Cali this fall? Put me down for an adamant no way in hell.
I've been watching Good Reward since he was a pup. I caught him once at a nice price in the Manhattan with a lucky good trip. But to beat him(on your home track no less when GR has the worst post and a style that doesnt suit that track) by a few lengths isn't exactly HOY type stuff. Good Reward didn't run in the WHitney, do you know why? Because he couldnt hit the board at ****ing Prairie Meadows, thats why. But he can run a strong 2nd to Lava Man? Umm, thats not hating Curt, thats called common sense and understanding what you are seeing.

Mike, what would make you appreciate Lava Man more? If he won by 20 lengths, would you be saying this? I'll take Lava Man over Flower Alley any day of the week. At least he's consistent (whether or not he wins by open lengths.)
