If he's such a slow horse then I think you and your friends should send grandma out west to take home the grade 1 cash. The rest of the nation is not coming out west for a number of excuses, and ploy track won't change it.

Oh and balance sure set the world on fire when she shipped east, hmmm.

Get glasses. The man quotes 45 something for the quarter. Now I know he made a mistake (or at least i think so) but most quarters are run in the 20's.

Oracle is right.He beat little in the Whittingham; and his trip out here to "real horsie country" didn't change my mind.

By the way, I may be dense, but what is "ploy track"?

FFF,

Orca is the internet's worst typist.. "Poly Track" is the reference...

It helps to be dyslexic when reading Orca's posts.. That way many of the garbled letters appear where they should actually be...

LOL!! I'm a two fingered typist whose brain works a lot quicker than his fingers. I can assure you that I can spell and use proper grammar quite nicely. Its just that on a horse racing internet message board, I really don't care. Sorry about the "ploy Track".

Got glasses,but at my AARP age I don't spend alot of time proof reading the text. You don't know it , but Oracle does, Lava Man is the money machine that the east coast stables don't want to meet on his home tracks.

Jockey Club was a funny race. FLower Alley got thumped and came back with a nice little race in the BC Classic, Bishop court Hill ran last and came back to be a grade 1 winner this year. Heck even the Sun King has run great twice since. So what the heck does it matter how Lava Man ran in the Jockey Club, a race where only 1 horse did any running? Grade 1 winner on dirt & turf, how many other horses can you say that about?

While I agree the field in yesterday's Manhattan towered over the race where Lava Man won, there were still 2 grade 1 winners in there that the Laza Man beat... Kings Drama and Sweet Return. Heck, Kings Drama won a big race here at Saratoga last summer so to most that would make him a super horse.

Tim thats really a stretch. I agree, a grade one winner is always a grade one winner, But it would be like beating Funny Cide now and saying you beat a grade one winner. CURRENT form is really the only way to judge the type of competition that a horse beats. Sweet return, Tim, Please. The poor horse is just in awful shape and not even a shadow of his former self. Kings drama isn't exactly sharp as a knife either.
Lava man is a neat horse, a horse who runs on both surfaces and runs fast and displays great heart. But hes gotta win a race outside of Cali for me to even consider him in the upper echelon in either division.
