Lava Man or Funny Cide?

To be fair: Lava Man has 5 Grade 1 wins, not 6: 2 HGC's, 1 PC, 1 SA 'Cap, 1 Whittingham, a Grade 2 in the Californian, and 2 restricted wins: $1 M Sunshine Millions Classic and Khaled Stakes (T-NCR).

I'd put Perfect Drift ahead of Funny Cide.

I'd go with Perfect Drift.

You'd put a one-time Grade 1 winner ahead of a dual classic winner and a 5 time Grade 1 winner?

I think that Lava Man is far more talented on his best day, but history will always remember Funny Cide first - him being the 'gutsy NY-bred gelding' that won the Derby. If Lava Man were to win the Classic, however, things would change...

You are correct, for some reason, I thought the Californian was a grade one but it isn't...my bad!
