He's a thoroughbred, of course he's excited to be back out running again, but that doesn't mean racing should be the only option in my opinion. Clearly the years of racing have taken a toll on him. Just because a horse wants to do something doesn't mean it is right for them...as anyone who has ridden a thoroughbred will atest, they don't exactly do what's best for them.

O'Neil was saying Lava Man was working very well before the retirement - but he was running like a horse who lost interest..did anyone really enjoy watching that?

Everyone loves a comeback story, but personally I just wouldn't fool around with a horse who has already written a fairy tale like story in the history books.
