All this Hatin on Lava

[slotdirt]

I don't know, does anybody think Lava Man was absolutely all out to win that race? Looked to have the thing in control from start to finish. I don't see why he can't run with Invasor and the like.

Just because it's fresh on my mind, let me mention that I just finished with the new Man o' War book. Man o' War, by all accounts, is arguably the best horse to ever run. That being said, my man beat some absolute dogs in a few of his races by no more than a length or two.

Now, I'm not comparing little old Lava Man and one of the all time greats, but I just thought I'd throw out there that there are times where a length and a half is a lot more than a length and a half.
