Another brain surgeon. Groovy ran 2nd twice in the cup on the sheet rock out there after killing everyone all year. Geez, what a disgrace huh? You are clueless with facts as well. I wish people actually knew what they were talking about before they posted.

Has Lava Man finished the BCC yet? I just read the first few posts on this thread. "Lava Man didnt look the same when he arrived at CHD"? Probably because he knew he was running against real racehorses. He probably choked when he looked around in the Paddock and saw what he was about to face. No chance, never had a chance, bad move by Oneill, almost as bad as when he sent him to Japan.

now read the other posts about lava man and his 'stall walking'. some horses don't ship. doesn't make him a bad horse, it just means he's a mere mortal.

Doesn't anyone around here know anything?

True story as told to be by a blacksmith and racetrack character.
Once upon a time there was a mare who seemed nervous and like an underachiever based on her talent displayed at times so the owner told the trainer to put a goat in with the mare.
The trainer did so and the mare continued to run poorly. About a year and a half later, the goat got sick and died.
Shortly after that the mare displayed a complete form reversal and won 4 races in a row including a stakes race. The owner asked the trainer what he thought caused the turnaround and the trainer replied " I'll tell you what happened, that goat was driving that mare ****ing crazy!!!!!!!" LOL!!!!

Theres a lot more truth to that, I have seen horses kill goats. I tried it once with a lay-up that was fretting, he tossed the goat from the stall and the poor goat was impaled on the top of a chain-link fence!

After reading the responses to your suggestion it appears we can cross you off the list.

Some high-strung horses do very well with goats. But then... some DON'T. The goat is the one at risk... lmao.

if it was that easy, there would be no stall walkers or weavers.
and yeah, i know some horses do well with company. actually most do, a single horse in a pasture can often become neurotic--no one to help watch for predators, horses after all are a prey animal.
maybe he needs a cat, or a rooster. or maybe he just needs to stay in cali and win every race and make many $'s. easier on the goat population that way.

Before u go on your tirades and tell other people that they need to know facts, u should know yours. Groovy finished FOURTH in the 1986 BC Sprint, behind Smile, Pine Tree Lane, and Bedside Promise.

Why not tell us about Groovy's Ancient Title race out there as well?
You guys crack me up.
Lava Man is a really brave and gutsy horse and a neat story. But please, Ace Blue ain't Invasor ok?
