Default Lava Man - 8/5 Fav
Next on the morning line at 3-1 is the 2005 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner and hero of the recent San Diego Handicap (gr. II) Giacomo. Magnum is 5-1; Perfect Drift, 6-1; Super Frolic, 8-1; Good Reward, 10-1; Preachinatthebar, 12-1, and Top This and That, 20-1.

You like a horse who couldnt hold off Giacomo? How is he ever going to get in front of Lava Man at any point in this race? I dont see it and think hes the worse bet on the board. I dont care what his odds are. I have a strong feeling this horse finishes last in this field.

I love him because he's by one of my fave horses... Silver Charm.

I don't think he has a legit shot in this field (I like Perfect Drift here), but I love the horse nonetheless.

I almost hope he blows by everyone in this field just so I can bring this topic up to rub in your face. (But, it probably won't happen.)

Women should never say the word "blows" in any post.

Why do you hope he will win when you crawfished and said he probably wouldnt? I liked him too when he ran at LS and couldnt beat Magnum.

Late in answering this, but I like the horse because he's one of my "weak" bets. (Both him and Silverfoot.) I always root for him, but I knew that realistically, he wasn't going to win this today. That's all...

Doesn't look like a very good betting race to me. Lava man will be 4/5 or so and justafiably so....

Maybe work out some tri's.

Randall said it on a different thread, but I agree with him...Good Reward.
I'm betting against LM. PD might "hang" on for 3rd.
