According to robfla (and others) however, this has no effect on him at all!!!! He runs the exact same with or without the stuff!!
I have to agree that the medication is the main reason for Lava Man not being "himself". But, I also must state that even if he was as drugged up as Timothy Leary, he would still not finish in the money against the competition he faces outside Cali. just not good enough

also, "lack of medication" is different than "shipping" issues. I still dont and wont buy the shipping excuse!

Do you think any horse has ever had shipping issues?
If so, why is it impossible that Lava Man has some of those issues?

Its amazing how fast a horse will back up when hes not milkshaked.

I mean anyone who thinks the medication doesnt matter to Lava Man is a complete buffoon.

Hes nowhere near good enough to beat worldclass horses with no help

Oneill uses milkshakes on Lava Man? I will enjoy hearing that explained next time Kasept has Oneill as a guest.

I didnt say Oneill used Milkshakes on him, I said its amazing how fast a hrose can back up when they arent Milkshaked. You can apply that to any horse you want.

If you think Lava Man runs on hay and oats you are out of your mind.

In california hes unbeatable, outside California he cant hit the board. I guess hes just a bad shipper

Whatever the reason, as long as they continue to ship him and people make him the favorite, he is the best throwout there is, just like on Saturday.

Milkshakes are not medication. And they were used in posts concerning Lava Man. Why even mention milkshakes?

So what does Lava Man run on that others dont?

At least Lava Man runs. Against full (sometimes) competitive fields. Unlike some horses whose connections pick their spot to decide which 5-, 6-, or maybe 7-horse field to grace with their presence.
