Synthetics aren't the problem he handled HOL earlier in the year with no problems.Look at his PP's.If I worked at my job as long w/o a vacation I wouldn't be performing at my best either.Everyone needs to recharge.After a vacation he'll probably be kicking down the stall doors to get back to the track.

It's so ironic that people want to have it both ways -- greed sends horses to the breeding shed way to early and it ruins the sport and the business. On the other hand, running Lava Man, when he has clearly done enough is pure greed on the owners part, and that of course ruins the sport and the business. What BS.

His performance on the racetrack was not consistent with what he's been doing in the mornings, how he's been acting, etc. -- so now he's headed to the farm. It has nothing to do with greed. The owners will do right by this horse -- period. Doug O'Neil will do right by this horse -- period.

Now carry on with your BS.
