That is what he did in the Hollywood Gold Cup. That is why the jock on Magnum pushed Magnum to the rail. He knew that Magnum would never get by Lava Man while Lava Man was right beside him looking the horse in the eye. When the jock on Magnum made that move, Magnum actually gained back on Lava Man until Lava Man saw Ace Blue coming. Then, Lava Man turned it on again, and those two quickly got away from Magnum.
I will be very surprised if FA is ever the horse that he once was. I would put Lava Man right at Invasor's ability. He may even be better than Invasor. Lava Man is a horse who consistently runs the last quarter of a mile in under 25 seconds on the dirt. On the turf, he is faster. In the Charles Whittingham, his last quarter of a mile was an unbelievable 22.9 seconds. Of course, his first half mile was much slower in the CW than it is in most of his dirt races.
