That would be one helluva race.

Since we are dreaming here....bump up the Cigar Mile purse to $1 million and send the invites.....

Lava Man 2.0, except he doesn't have the shipping excuse.

The pace was so slow and he folded after 7 furlongs or so, it was so far below par for him I would not be surprised if there is a problem. He ran better last year under worse circumstances.

And you say this because?

Timeform has already done the figures, and it was slow, I wont say a crawl but well below par for what was expected.

Moss had it above par. . . What do you mean by "what was expected?" Wasn't a crazy-fast pace expected? Don't think we got that, but definitely didn't get a slow pace.

I think Lava Man was a better horse but a good comparison.

Not sure how anyone could watch this race and say this horse can't run well shipping or run well in top class.

The other speed ran 7, 10 and 11. He ran the other speed into the ground and got caught late. I thought it was an excellent effort.

He needs to be on the lead and clear but he is a pretty solid horse.
