What about Lava Man?

3 Hollywood Gold Cup, 2 Santa Anita Handicaps, 1 Pacific Classic ... a Grade 1 winner on dirt, turf, and synthetic.

His collection of wins absolutely dwars Gio Ponti and his resume was mostly all dirt.

He should have been a 1st ballot Hall of Famer if Gio Ponti is a lock to get in.
