Thank you Doug for that....
Even though Lava Man couldn't stand up east of Palm Springs or west of Catalina Island, he was a beast right here at home.
I appreciated your saying that his California career was a Hall Of Fame career. I'm thinking he won't make it there. Three Hollywood Gold Cups, two Santa Anita Handicaps, and one Pacific Classic, not to mention a couple of GI's on the turf, won't be enough to get him there......just because he was so dismal outside of the California sunshine.
Lava Man may not make it into the Hall Of Fame, but I really appreciate your little celebration of him. He deserves it.
