P.S.CALIFORNIA RACING SUCKS!!!!

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.
