Lava Man Retired

[johnny pinwheel]

i don't see why people complained. he ran pretty good until the end. they had to try. tommy john surgery has saved the career of many pitchers in baseball. maybe this will be a break through treatment for horses. he tried, it did not work to perfection. why all the complaining? people have beeen programmed that these horses are "old" after they are 4 years old. some horses love to race and its usually the good ones, thats why they are good. crying about risk is a joke when every horse is taking a chance with each start. horses probably get bored and depressed just like some folks do when they retire. they probably saw something in his behavior that told them he wanted to race. they tried ,its more than most would do. i guess if you are different you should be put down. what a free country we live in.
