if you look at his pp's he has the type of runstyle that is good for poly. he runs at a high consistent speed, and he has endurance to boot.

No, I didn't bet him but I like your thinking here. Generally, I do believe Midwest based horses go off at higher odds than they should when they go to EITHER coast.

thats right, and even though he races for Cerin now, in typical Neil Howard style this horse just kept getting incrementally better with age. If you can compete in Kentucky and Ark with Magna Graduate, Brass Hat, Wanderin Boy, etc you can compete with that group out west today.

If people go to the Thorograph website - this race was the freebee for the week, and the figures and analysis are still up - TG had the exacta, described the handicap division in the west for what it is (weak), and predicted Lava Man once again was a strong underlay.
