Lava Man Is The NUTS

Pedigree Ann · #1 08-20-2006, 06:56 PM

Any questions now?

whorstman · #2 08-20-2006, 06:56 PM

No doubt about it. What else do you want from this guy? Can he go BC Classic? Or is that too much to ask? Very impressive.

Danzig · #3 08-20-2006, 06:58 PM

and thank goodness he hasn't got any, so he can come out and play for a while yet.

once Lava Man gets to the East Coast on a real racetrack against some real Grade 1 horses he will run up the track

So Perfect Drift isn't a real G1 horse?

Of course he is not a real G1 horse he hasn't won in 14 months and is obviously in his worst year out of the past couple by not even posting a beyer over 100 so far this season.

I don't think so...He beat Perfect Drift quite easily and Perfect Drift is considered a top East Coast horse. I think that Invasor and Bernardini are the only two that can beat him because he is in a lot better form than he was last year. He is like a fine wine...gets better as he ages. I'm not going to knock him because the horse is all heart and has had, by far, the toughest campaign of the year so far. He is the goods, and it seems that all he knows how to do is win.

In what word of insanity is PD considered a top East Coast horse? Fantasyland?

That's what everyone thought about The Tin Man.

The only horse back East that might be able to beat Lava Man is Bernardini.

You guys are forgetting that Borrego, who is not nearly as good as LM, went back East and won by 6 lengths.

I totally agree with you as you would have gathered if you read my posts. Lava Man had some real excuses and has dramatically improved from last year.

it was like an allowance race written for Lava
or more like the guy hand picked to fight Holyfield last night
but I am impressed with the 6 in a row
in fact, I do like him to win the classic
and win HOY!

yeah Ann is here a question, are you completely insane? he beats a horse like Good Reward(prior record on dirt was 7-1-0-0, LOL!!!) and you want us to really think that makes him the goods? Geez, pardon me for being realistic, but if he ever comes east, I can assure you that he will be facing much harder than Good Reward.

Lava Man is another cheap socal handicap horse, who wont do crap when in a race with real quality horses from back east. People get duped by these high priced California claimers who win Grade 1's. Last true Grade 1 horse from socal had to be Candy Ride, and Mizzen Mast. Even now im beginning to wonder about Rock Hard Ten's quality

You mean the Rock Hard Ten who never won a race outside of California?

Sour grapes

Five Star Derek · #18 08-20-2006, 07:23 PM

I don't think he can win outside California but he does deserve his due. I've burnt too many tickets trying to beat him race after race. My hat is off to him.

Seattleallstar · #19 08-20-2006, 07:24 PM

how many races had Doug Oneill won outside of LA?? I think last time was Avanzado

Lava Mans probably like another Cal bred of recent memory, Tiznow, a horse who went East twice and got whipped by those great horses out there.
