I'd be a Lukas type. Can't win if u don't enter.

You had better have a lot of money to buy your own. Running too much has killed alot of my business. If I could learn to sit it out and just wait for the perfect spot or just claim and drop , my % would be a whole lot better and I'm sure I would have a lot more horses to train. There wont be anymore Lukas types. The game has changed too much. There are too many 'experts' armed with sheets and too many owners who only look at win % when choosing a trainer and listen to the 'experts' with the sheets. I'm not saying that you are wrong for wanting to take a Derby shot, but I do think that she was far from a likely winner.
