you take out Hurricane Run(who i am still not convinced is going to show up) and all you have is Scorpion(who has run one time in the last year), a failed European(Cacique) and English Channel.
not bad, but nothing that Lava Man could not be competitive against.
I guess they just want a shot at the bigger purse money.
thats understandable, but I dont think he hits the board either.

Given Hurricane Run's recent form...I think the 2 horses to beat in that race are EC and Cacique. Given that....wouldn't Lava Man have a better chance of trying to pull off what The Tin Man did to those two, than with whatever strategy they employ with him in the classic?
