Horses differ greatly in how the dubai trip affects them.

He's had 4 modest works since the Dubai debacle, and should be in fine shape, but I think he's more vulnerable here than he has been in any California race in recent memory.

yeah, i know some horses don't ship well, and he doesn't when he goes somewhere. but he always seems to bounce back --just like he did a year ago after going to japan. he thrives in cali (for whatever reason--depends on who you ask!!) so i expect him to do just fine.

I live in SoCal and have become a Lava Man fan, but today the California legend will get beat. Lava Man was all out to win the Santa Anita Hcp at 124 lbs and he carries that same 124 today at 1 1/4 while trying to rebound from his travels to Dubai. He's a bet against today. It looks like After Market has the class and style to get it done.

I have watched Lava Man train coming into this race , to me he doesnt seem to be moving that great , at one point Tony was carrying a buggy whip on him backtracking . Having said that he will prolly air to them lol .
