Go Lava! Can't believe I get to see him and Exhale and Great Hunter on the same day, it's gonna be awesome. I plan to get there as early as possible, and ya'll may have to drag me away from the track at the end of the day :D

Sweet! Hey, since you get to be part of the big group in the paddock you should make one of those Lava Man buttons. Or maybe something that says "I <3 The Sim in big letters, could be a great way of advertising ;)

Seriously though, that's really awesome, you must be super excited. I definitely want to see any shots you get from inside the paddock, i'm sure they'll be really good. :)

Once again...Lava Man kicks *, but doesn't take names because he's too busy kicking *...

He is a very, very, very special racehorse and I don't think the likes of him will be seen in a very, very long time...he probably hasn't reached John Henry's level of accomplishment...but he's at least entered the same league...we don't have too many horses these days who are dominant on both surfaces...if he can pull off a win outside of Cali...then I think the John Henry comparisons will come...except he seems better behaved...with his merm.

That was exciting and glad I got to be there, truly amazing horse he is.

Oh yes, here comes the Lava Man.

Great Hunter was looking good, but poor Tiago got blocked on the rail with no where to go... bummer.

I know he ran yesterday, not Saturday...but has ANYBODY seen or taken pictures of Air Commander? I'm getting way too antsy... I know he'll probably go in a little stakes race sometime soon, but I'm not patient enough to wait for pictures!!!! :D
