Lotsa value in US pools with Lava Man underlaid @ 2-1. Admire Moon @ 9-1 10 MTP. I kinda like irradesence but 9-1 is too short.

It's bombs away for me in this race.
Looking for Kapil or Linngari to light up the board.

Can't believe Lava man getting pounded, 5/2?

Lava Man came last, was never in the running, never got a call. Wasn't in the front group, where he likes to be.

That's not necessary. I'd be happy to have a claiming horse that's won 4 million.

First of all, picking that Lava Man would not do well outside of Cali is hardly something to brag about. Everyone knew that already, and MANY people (including me) were saying that sending him to this race was a big mistake ever since it was announced. He stood no chance today, and everyone that follows American racing knew that.
Also, saying that he "showed his true class today" and calling him a "claiming horse" is just wrong. He is simply a horse that does not ship and run well. Period. It makes no sense for people to come on here and say "HE IS A SUPERSTAR!!!!" every time he wins another G1 or G2 in Cali, and it makes no sense for you to come on here and rip him when he runs poorly elsewhere. That is just what everyone expected.
He runs well at the 3 SoCal tracks.
He runs poorly everywhere else.
I would berate you more for not understanding this distinction, but since the horse's own connections can't seem to figure that out, I guess you are in good company.

Hopefully we won't have to watch Lava Man run outside California again. It seems obvious he needs his race day Bute.

Too simplistic an answer...Don't know that he ships well and may like harder race tracks....And O'Neill won on the Dubai card today so its not like he can't win outside of Cali.

shipping on turf didn't do any better then shipping to run on dirt....it was worth one more try i guess....certainly hasn't hurt him shippiing in the past when he returned home.
he hasn't lost in cali since '05. and i disagree that he won't return to form, he has every other time.

I am taking it that Marty Wolfson isn't in Dubai, since I won't get on a plane.

Has anyone seen his wife there yet? I figured he would send her so that she could spend 45 minutes in the winners circle crying over a 3 minutes speech...
