If Lava Man and Student Council had met on a dirt track today....at level weights no less, do you think the result would have been the same?

yes i do, at 10 furlongs, sure. Lava Man has been barely getting it done against horses like APxcellent and Big Booster.

Nobody said they are good, they stink. I just cant stand to see a horse like Lava Man go 115 and not finish. Hes a notorious gamer, especially in Cali, especially when having things his own way. He got a perfect ride and was done mid stretch. Do you think hes better than Student Council?

Lava Man would have beaten him by 5 or more on the dirt TID

Are u suggesting that every listed stakes caliber horse in the Midwest and East could have done this same thing? Are the California horses that bad?

no i'm not suggesting that, that would be dumb.
not every midwest horse has his talent or style, he has been steadily improving for a long time. his sheet numbers for his past two races are zero. the only other horse in the race that also had zeros was Awesome Gem.
