Lava Man---California Is His Home

This is an issue I would like to explore more. However, the all knowing Dumbar has figured it all out, with his 8 months more of experience on this web site, everyone is too scared of Lava Man in California and there are no quality handicap horses willing to come challenge him. Like Invasor and Discreet Cat are ducking Lava Man!

Thanks for the kind words. I do think, however, that a case can be made that certain horses are avoiding facing Lava Man on his own turf. There must be a reason why east coast based horses would run for smaller purses in Florida and New Yorkthan take-on Lava Man on the west coast. They had a million reasons to show up on Saturday, but they didn't. Would Lava Man beat Invasor straight up in California? Who knows? The only thing that I'd guess is that Lava Man would beat Invasor straight up in California running on the turf! Welcome to the site and hope that you have a pleasant experience here.
