This isnt just some horse...this is lava man. This is a horse that has won his owners over 5.2 million dollars. This is a horse with a legacy. Why cheapen it?

If they are going to keep running him, they should try stretching him out and going long. The pace of the shorter races is just too much at this point and he is just not going to be competitive.

Personally, i think he has earned himself a nice retirement.

Melbourne Cup is where he should go

Kentucky Horse Park.

This horse is done.

And he's done enough for them that they should know when to say when.

I would have Richard Mandella train him

Why not race him. Find 4 races a year for him and see what happens. Heck, Evening Attire just won the other day and he is like what....10? No reason why Lava Man couldnt earn $100k a year. Maybe that is high, but you get the point.
