I wouldnt say he had plenty left, but he did win the race which was the goal.
The entire field looked totally gassed coming for home, I wouldnt say the race was spectacular or even impressive... I will bet against Lava Man when/if he leaves so cal...

Lava Man runs a clunker in last year's Jockey Club and he gets scorned for it. So too does Flower Alley, but because he is trained by Todd Pletcher and resides in NY, he is excused for running bad and follows it up with a very non-threatening but good 2nd place finish to the late great Saint Liam.
Lava Man runs another bad one in Japan, in a country where US horses often do poorly in, then gets some time off and comes back to reel off 6 wins in a row in 2006, when overhyped horses like FLower Alley beat a mediocre at best field of 5 in a NJ prep race then gets schooled on his home track in a race he'd been pointing for since Dec 2005. Yet people still diss this great horse and would rather talk about Flower Alley getting another crack at the far from great Sun King on Labor Day weekend.

Gander-
I did not expect him to win by more than what he did. He was an even money shot in a race that was his to lose. He is by far the best horse on the west coast. I just plan to bet against him when/if he ships is all, he appears to not ship well at all to me.
