The majority of people aren't giving Lava Man much of a chance...

Simply incorrect. If his odds are 5-1 or less there are alot of people giving him a chance. Besides Joel said nobody is giving him a chance. I wish that were true. I'd love to see the horse at 20-1 or greater.

I just love how everything that is said by Joel is taken so seriously... he could have said "nobody" and meant that in a facetious manner, who knows. I know what he meant and I agree with him.

Because there are people who are picking Lava Man over Bernardini!! Bernardini is the favorite but that doesn't mean nobody is giving him a shot. Unless he's talking about members of this board, which for the most part have already annointed the horse the GOAT.

Actually in my opinion he was pretty darn correct in his statement. Just wait til BC day.. I bet there will be a LOT more money bet on Bernardini to win than Lava Man

Fine he's correct. Nobody is going to make a win wager on Lava Man.

Unfortunatly you take comments way out of context. Cunningham was very correct in saying that Lava man is the David to Bernardini being Goliath. That does not mean that people will not bet on "David" to win, they will, he will be second or third choice depending on how Invasor trains up to the race (in my opinion Lava Man will be the second choice). But the Bern' will be the clear favorite.

Lava Man also has a chance, if Bernardini stumbles or gets boxed in or simply runs like Point Given did on Derby day, Lava Man (or Invasor) should win. If Bern' runs a clean race, he will be tough but Bernardini is again, in my opinion, the better horse.

Also, people will doubt Lava Man because he is running outside of California. Not to take away any credit from Lava Man, because he is a very good horse who is a Grade 1 winner on turf and dirt, but he may be in over his head against Bernardini.
