bernardini, barbaro, invasor, showing up, latent heat, half ours,

lava man has never beat anyone, who is the best horse he beat ?
you could argue that the best horse he ever beat was kings drama who is a solid grade 2 turf horse.

i said one of my favorites...... and that is mostly based on a large cash i had on him a few years ago when he beat mineshaft....

also do u realize how much money perfect drift has made on the track, and how respected he is in the game, you are no one to be calling him a nobody!

I guess I just disagree with you on what a real racehorse is...

Lava Man is a former claimer who has gone on to beat just about every horse (granted in California) who has showed up to race against him. I'd be proud to own such a horse. He's been a great investment to his owners, which is more than you can say for a lot of other racehorses.

i totally agree with that, but the whole not running a lick out of cali thing really troubles me, but im not taking anything away from what he has done, and im not saying that he himself is not a real horse, but i just dont think he has ever beat a real horse, or i guess i should rephrase and say a good horse
