To be fair, GOD was a few jumps away from winning the BC Classic at Churchill Downs. Also got nailed on the line in the Clark Hdcp at CD. 1st and 2nd at CT in their big race. BTW Rick, he sat 3rd in that Clark Hdcp, took the lead at the stretch call, and got nailed at the wire by a pretty good horse. He could pass a horse, but with his running style he was usually on the lead.

Comparing him to Kiri's Clown and Polar Expedition? Really??

Lava Man did nothing away from California. GOD was competitive other places.

California horses often get criticized for not venturing away from California, yet few East based horses venture out this way to challenge them also.

I'm not saying he's a HOF horse, but making him sound like he's just another decent horse isn't accurate.

P-Dub
