Commentator was much better than Lava Man, Lava Man beat Grade 2-3 type horses in those Gold Cups. Anytime faced with the competition that was a step above of what he was beating in socal, he failed miserably. Lava Man was a good horse but in no way was he a "great" horse. Lava Man never ever came close to defeating a horse the caliber of a St Liam, which Commentator did.

Lava Man and Game on Dude are pretty much the same, good horses who gained a popular following in Socal. Not great and not even in the conversations for best horses in the country. Grade 2 caliber horses that were able to pick off weak Grade 1 races

Not in the conversation for best horses in the country...really? Grade 2 horses, the races they won and the figures they achieved strongly rebut that argument.
