If anybody else buys the Lava Man/Stormello comparison thing and bets accordingly there stands to be a lot of money made by those that know better, yipes. At least you can guess Stormello's got a chance at being in the money when he leaves the West Coast. There's no indication whatsoever that he's got the same problem as LM. Not like he's my favorite horse or anything but gotta stand up for him here. He's more viable out of Cal than Lava Man from my view.
