Agreed that was a terrible ride -- but Lukas isn't exactly setting the world on fire either. He continually sends expensive horses that are poorly prepared into ridiculous spots. Westwon may still prove something but he's less likely under Lukas.
I never thought much of Officer Rocket. Reminds me of the space shuttle -- flies well most of the time but occasionally disintegrates in flight. He last two races coming into this latest debacle were enough cause for concern.
The winner is one to watch particularly if he tries turf or poly. That's a nice horse.
