That's the best you could come up with? I thought you were actually a follower of the game. Now I can see that can't be the case...

Of course you omit, Brother Derek, T.H. Approval, King's Drama, Seek Gold, Perfect Drift and Giacomo, who, while not superstars, are Grade 1 winners vanquished by Lava Man during his 2006 California Campaign.

The defense rests. If you think any East Coast trainers aren't shipping out there because they're scared of facing that crew, plus the four I mentioned.. Ugh..

That's some scary contingency.

I got frightened just reading their names.

I tossed him after I realized the "B" wouldn't be in his running line for this race.

LOL! How do you figure that? Because it's true? That's a perfect way for me to end this "discussion" on a positive note for me. Thank you!

I love Lava Man, he had a season most owners would dream of, so he can't ship, lots of horses don't ship. Sky Beauty couldn't ship, Silver Train, heck I have had horses go absolutely nuts when just switching stalls, it just effects some horses. Lava Man is a nice horse, I'm certainly not going to disparage him, there were horses that finished behind him after all.

Exactly right, I mentioned that, I have a horse at my house that paces and screams and digs holes in her stall so deep you could bury a body in them, and that is if I merely switch her stall at home!!!

And you're missing my point. It's not a East Coast ships West vs. West Coast ships East thing. My point is that it's a completely different type of racing out West.

I said in the past year.. Pico and Lost in the Fog were very special horses, no doubt.

I think the horse ran like most expected him to....he has never shipped and won away from Cali and there was no reason to believe he would all of the sudden start a new trend in what was against the hardest group of horses he had ever faced.

Frankly, he was simply too slow on the sheets anyway, and the two fastest horses in the race ran 1-2, and maybe the third fastest horse on the dirt in the race ran third even....

How Lava Man took more money than Invasor was a joke IMO...just shows you the influence of the heart over the knowledge of the casual bettor on the big race days.....

The fact is that they don't ship and try very often. I still say if it was that easy they would be in on Friday and out on Sunday.
