Why is the JCGC any more of a prestigious prep than the Pacific Classic or any other California race, the difference here Oracle is the West coast horses seem to have to adhere to this standard of racing on the East or their legitimacy is questioned, the East coast horses can run against no better fields and they get this pass as if they are always facing quality, the fact of the matter is they AINT!!!! Who is so good on the East Coast that Lava Man should be afraid of? I think when they all meet up in the Classic, than that should be fine, why should the West coast horses have to constantly be criticized for not running East? It seems to me more west horses run better in the east than vice versa. This was like the Azeri campaign, they all knocked her till the B.C. , than there was no knocking. Agood horse is a good horse, it floors me that people suupposedly in the know can question the heart and integrity of a horse like this, he's a dual surface Grade 1 winner who runs his eyes out, he would be the darling of the racing world if he was trained in the East, it's just a travesty. I love good horses like this, I've been just as big a fan of Eastern horses as Western, and I NEVER stipulate they should have to run in the West to prove their worthy of adulation, this Eastern bias is sickening.
