They're aiming a bit high lol. I'm not against him being back but....asking an 8 year old for the "highest level or nothing" is a bit much.

Lava Man would be lucky to be competitive in G3s at this stage of his career

Next years Cal Cup Classic would be an honorable goal

older horses than him have taken down graded stakes. it's rare since most horses retire far sooner. but eight isn't exactly over the hill.
