Is this the best we have?

[Danzig]

not asking anyone to be bowled over, just don't hold him to a higher standard than any other horses.
i just find it amazing that he wins, and gets knocked--where's the criticisms for corinthian?? hell, he stayed east and finished last!

lava man has lost once in cali in two years, it's an amazing stretch. an admitted stall racer, they probably shouldn't have shipped him the times that he did, it obviously puts him out of his game. kudos to them for trying imo. at least they tried.
i just think it's a shame that a horse who has accomplished so much can't get a break from fans. again, give him his due for what he's done, not what he hasn't.
he's now a graded winner on three surfaces. only the second ever three-peater in the history of the gold cup.
