That's because The Tin Man himself won little respect for his awesome Arlington win, and also because the race is in Calif, don't ya' know. Even grass races don't count as a different surface when "Calif" is attached to it. Of course, if The Tin Man beats Lava Man, it will confirm the doubters' suspicions. And if both lose, whoa, it'll be a gloater's paradise.
