Lava Man at Santa Anita (Charles Pravata).

There are several good articles on Lava Man at the moment. They all seem (I haven’t completely read all of them yet) to boil down to the same sentiment… so what if he doesn’t travel well and is probably a little off of his best game, we should “simply savor the rich meal he has served” in the words of Jay Hovdey. Clearly what we’ve lost in Invasor, we’ve gained in the ability to appreciate the horses that are running.
