Lava Man is another cheap socal handicap horse, who wont do crap when in a race with real quality horses from back east. People get duped by these high priced California claimers who win Grade 1's. Last true Grade 1 horse from socal had to be Candy Ride, and Mizzen Mast. Even now im beginning to wonder about Rock Hard Ten's quality

I don't think he can win outside California but he does deserve his due. I've burnt too many tickets trying to beat him race after race. My hat is off to him.

Yeah the money is high up there but also are the chances of coming away with injury. How many horse's have done as good as Lava Man here of late out West? Even the sprinters from out West have come to the East coast to run to stay healthy.

Lava Mans probably like another Cal bred of recent memory, Tiznow, a horse who went East twice and got whipped by those great horses out there.

I'm pretty neutral on the EAST vs WEST thing, but it does seem convenient that the Easters forget how many of their horses won the last time the BC was in California. Answer: zero. Cajun Beat came from Kentucky and he was the closest thing to an East coast horse winning.

I looked at the maiden race purses today at Del Mar $71,000 in 2 races and $68,000 in another. The money out west must not be the same. I still say that if the horses out west were so easy everybody would ship in and take it. LAVA MAN wins another MILLION Dallor race that was open to all willing to try.
