Man..I look for Lava Man to run huge in the Goodwin and if he wins this or runs good..I would say they send him to the BC Classic...where I think he has a legitimate chance to win...the Monmouth track should suit him just fine..you might get 10/15-1 on him..the East Coast bias should help his odds...he could be worth a ducat

His trainer has said that the Classic is out no matter what and if Lava Man does go to NJ, it would be for one of the mile races.

He won't have a chance in those races either. Anybody that bets on this horse outside of California just hasn't been paying attention. When he ships, it doesn't matter what kind of surface he runs on. He just loses badly.

If the track plays like it did today then A.P. Xcellent has a great chance to go gate to wire.

In last year's BC Classic, Lava Man's odds were about equal to Invasor. So what was this about a bias...

I think you have to look at Monmouth Park..it is different that the other "shipped to" surfaces he has raced on...MP is probably more like the California Tracks than any other track he has shipped to..and at some value..I think he has a shot..but he does have to put in a good effort in the Goodwin or I will be off the bandwagon rather quickly.

What if he bombs in the Goodwin but wins the Goodwood?

Lava Man has no shot at winning, or running well in any race that he has to fly to. They have played that song too many times already.
