Lava Man - 8/5 Fav

I don't think he has a legit shot in this field (I like Perfect Drift here), but I love the horse nonetheless.

I almost hope he blows by everyone in this field just so I can bring this topic up to rub in your face. (But, it probably won't happen.)

Women should never say the word "blows" in any post.

We can no longer make fun of Giacomo after his last win. He still is a Kentucky Derby winner and that commands respect. His trainer thinks he's ready to roll.

I like Magnum in here. I dont see anyone else as being fast enough to beat lava man.

I think Giacomo may well be the danger here! Hard to go against Lava Man but if he's beaten, I think Giacomo could be the one! We should know after the half!

The race really has me going to the same ending, if they couldn't bet Lava Man when he gave them weight how can they beat him when they all carry the same 124lbs.

It happened last year in this race. Although his HGC race was very gutty and he had a poor start, it may be a signal that he is following the pattern he did last year at this time. I love the Lava Man, but I sure won't bet him at odds on. He is not in LA.

shug is going all the way to del mar, which is completely out of character for him. good reward might be worth a look or two.

go lava man.

Last year Surf Cat was in the race and, with Super Frolic, pressed Lava Man through a half in :45.90 and 6f in 1:10.35. Is there anybody in this field who is going to try to cook Lava Man this year? Remember, the 'rabbits' finished far back, while Lava Man hung on to be third by less than a length. LM was so exhausted by this effort that he had to be vanned off the track. It wasn't the time of year that cause LM's defeat, it was the pace scenario.
