Thors Echo ran well for O'neill, so I cant imagine they treated the horses any differently. If they both threw in **** races you could make a case for O'neill being a skunk. I just think Lava Man is a cut below those other 2 mentioned. Hes a game horse on the lead, and on the lead in California is all you need to be to win races.
LM has won from off the pace a couple of times this year. In the Sunshine Million, he came from 7 lengths back and won.

He will fit in nicely at Shadwell with the other misfits that they stand at stud

He was prime in his cycle today, he fired a big race. I thought he still needed his last before he would run a big race. Eventhough he didnt win today I thought he moved up and showed some heart. I bet him to win, I was happy with the effort. By far for me this was the best hes ran since the Derby. I think he will be an impact 4 year old
