Lukas Says Big Brown Was Poorly Trained

[Silver Charm]

I think he knows a thing or two about it.

The fact Dutrow was nowhere to be found by anybody says that at this particular level he was totally in over his head. Trailor-trash sitting in the Castle-throne for 8 weeks or so. Not Hardly.

Wall Street Journal this morning:

They\'re Off: Trainers to Start Horse Fund By Jon Weinbach
Three of thoroughbred racing\'s most-successful trainers are teaming up for a venture that will buy, train and sell horses for investors in a move that underscores the rising costs of the sport and comes on the heels of Triple Crown buzz.

The Thoroughbred Legends Racing Fund, which is to be announced Monday, aims to raise $75 million to $125 million by late August and create a 100-horse stable within three years. The horses will be selected and trained by D. Wayne Lukas, Bob Baffert and Nick Zito

I hope Baffert and Zito do the buying at the yearling sales, Lukas overpays for everything and can\'t say no.  The other two have the finer eye for the bargain.

Change the distance to fit the breed? How about changing the breed to fit the distance or doesn\'t that work with Storm Cats?

What a load--Lukas has won how many Triple Crowns, exactly? Did he have Union City conditioned?

[sighthound]

He\'s tied with Fitzsimmons for most Triple Crown race victories at 13 (4 Derbies, 5 Preaknesses, 4 Belmonts) and holds the record for winning 6 TC races in a row.

and not all of them fair and square..........

Sight,

The PETA and other tree huggers should really have a field day with that new fund when Lucas gets a stable full to start trashing thru...
