After Lava Man was vanned off in the Pacific Classic ... he went to Belmont and got beat 45+ lengths in the JCGC... after that he went to Japan and got beat 17+ on dirt.

He ran again 8 weeks after that Japan loss.

I certainly don't think anyone has to have experience with horses to know that this horse looks more likely than your average to break down.
