Lookin at Lucky is a very nice horse, and his race at Oaklawn was pretty good, but he's also one of the favorites in a 20 horse field, and he has hardly shown anything exceptional. If one is playing big prices, Lookin at Lucky has to be used protectively in exotics, but he is also a horse that has done nothing on the racetrack to either justify a short price or instill any fear in his opposition....as opposed to Eskendereya, who IF he reproduces his Fountain of Youth, will dust the field. It's a big IF at this point but also has to be considered at least a possibility.
