I dont consider any of these horses all that much better than the horses Lava Man has beaten.

Nice horse? Sure. Perhaps better than I think (wouldnt be the first or second time I was wrong about a horse), but to rank him higher than Lava Man at this juncture of the year based on beating those horses...I cant agree with.

If he beats Bernardini or Lava Man I will admit I am an idiot. I just dont think he will.
Oh he did get alot of Press especially after the Whitney, but after that it has been all Bernardini.
I guess you can say the same about Lava Man, hasn't beaten any world beaters himself. I do agree Lava Man should be number one but fair is fair it's not exactly that tough out on West either.

Lava Man also tanked when he ran the Sunshine Millions at Gulfstream. So it has been three times out of California with those three races being the three biggest defeats of his life in beaten margins.
