Exactly, and none of these horses could even look Zapper in the eye while both at a trot, let alone in a race like the Woodward.

The sad thing is that Lava Man actually ran in the Gold Cup. By him winning, his story overshadowed just how bad a field it was. Would have been the same thing had Invasor showed up and romped in the Suburban. While everyone would have been praising him, the level of the competition would have been overlook. Without him, everyone got to set it. This is a horrible, horrible year for older males in this country and it's getting work by the year.

The horse that LM beat (by a nose) had yet to run a 100 Beyer.

The S. Foster is starting to look like the premier race in the handicap division this year.

I think it may be awhile before we see either Cor. and HAOS.
