Only he hasn't win outside Cali yet which would mean if he was based on the east coast he would be just another horse on the backside

What? If he was on the East Coast he would be the 2nd best horse. Maybe 3rd behind Invasor. Look at some of the joke winners like in the Woodward. Lava Man would have won that race easily.

its ironic how all the people that bashed poly and keeneland and said that a large majority of the horsemen dont like it have such small fields in lucrative stakes@their hometrack saturday and keeneland has decent size fields for theirs(8,9,11). if it rains should we cancel racing since all horses dont like sloppy tracks LMFAO???? again im tired of the whining and biatching about poly simply because people refuse to adjust their handicapping.


as far as lava man goes i am a fan of the horse and hes a great story but very hard for me to endorse him outside of cali until he proves it!

some horses just perform dramatically better at some dirt tracks compared to others. there are a slew of horses here in chicago that love arlington where the competition is a little tougher and hate hawthorne and dont do a thing over it and vice versa! how many horses do you see in ny that hate the inner and some that absolutely love it.....alot

I think the Vosburg is an interesting race.

I am looking forward to it.

Mabey 3rd behind Invasor which means he would not of won Jack on the East Coast. Your the same dude that said Oh wait till Shirroco runs and the Euros come what ever man. In case you missed it the horse ran last in the smallest field in the ARCH in some time.
