The names of the horses lava man beat nothing if they weren't in their primes when they raced against him. You make it seem like he defeated so many great horses, but was it when they were at their best? no. try again. and you can't really call him "the classier horse because he faced Grade 1 winning horses all year long." you can make the argument that his owners were classier based off of that fact, but not that he was. unless of course you've heard of the horses deciding which races they want to run in.
What i mean, dubby, is that if your gonna knock on zenyatta for her competition, how can you praise lava man so highly? lava man is a great horse; no doubt. however, lets look at them both equally here instead of trying to just tear apart zenyatta. in your mind vs heart debate, whether you admit it or not, zenyatta has an amazing resume. could she have faced tougher competition at times? sure. but i dont see where lava man was facing anyone better than who she faced in her career. they're both great horses. in my opinion, zenyatta is just the better horse. if you think differently, thats fine. we both have facts to back up our argument and you're entitled to your opinion just as i am. just because we dont share the same opinion, that doesnt mean that either of us is stupid for what we think (not just feel).
Zenyatta was better; hands down. those you try to discount her because of her competition and say that lavaman was better are just hipocrites. and dubby, instead of being completely rude to someone for having a different opinion than you, try having a nice, friendly debate or something. the rudeness in your responses completely mask any genuine knowledge of the industry that you might have.
