I have a hard time understanding how you can hold it against him that he lost by shipping east last year. If I recall, wasn't the horse having hoof problems and wasn't 100% to begin with? I'm willing to give him another chance to redeem himself at CD.
I don't need to see PP's or entries to know Lava Man is a legit contender for the Breeders Cup Classic.

Of course he's a legit contender. The question is... do you think he can WIN the whole damn thing? I DO need to see PP's and entries before I make that call.

Based on this year's form? Of course I think he can win the thing. I think Bernardini could be the goods and could also win, same with Invasor. Shoot, I wouldn't even put Sun King out of it if he continues with his recent form. I've been on the Flower Alley bandwagon forever, and I still think he'll be a contender once we get to BC day.

Would you make your pick right now without seeing PP's? 5 horses can't win it. So which one would you pick?
