I agree you have a very valid point with the above. That's pretty low.

But now the public can enjoy Lava Man on the track. Old Friends is 15 minutes away from where I live. I personally will be happier to see Lava Man on the TV screen, racing (if he does get back to that - it may not yet happen) than to make a monthly visit to watch him graze in a pasture.
