Now, I don't think that's totally fair, as on his homecourt, Lava Man was vary good. But on raw talent? It's probably not that close.
That's pretty much how I meant it. However, I don't really see that horse being anything special, homecourt or not (lava man). He was lucky enough to be running in an era of historically bad older horses. If he'd have been running against horses from the mid 90s, he'd probably have been an allowance horse at best.
