Also, I like Lukas and have marveled at his accomplishments. I always said success leaves blueprints. Just ask Todd Pletcher who uses a white bridle in honor of his mentor. Lukas was the greatest salesman of his or anyone's time. Amazing really. So sad what happened to his son Jeff though.

Of course they were going to try and stretch a horse out who ran like that first time out. You pay that much money for the horse, you shoot for the moon first, then if it can't happen, come back down to earth. The only odd stuff with this colt was running on the grass and synthetics.
