Why? Amazing how you can make a comment about a Hall Fame trainer that has done incredible good for the sport. Not his fault he was dealt a one horse wonder...

FWIW, D Wayne probably wins the Sprint if Pashito The Che breaks alertly and pressures Big Drama, as the race was likely to unfold.

http://blogs.courier-journal.com/rac...ment-ceremony/ He looks very fit and ready to go. We watched him leaving the Paddock at the BC, and were struck by how good he appeared, and for a brief moment thought he might show some spark. I hope he eventually finds his way to the KHP. So long, MTB.

 I have to thank you cause I really did want to see this but then got busy, too lazy to look for it, all kinds of excuses. This horse... it's funny cause I wasn't a fan or anything and sure as hell didn't have him in the Derby but the more time that goes by... he just has this endearing quality. I wish him a long, happy and healthy life and yes I agree I hope he ends up there.

The biggest upset in Derby history. Bar none.

He ran a tremendous Derby, a very respectable 2nd to Rachel in the Preakness (a very exciting race), and was a very close 3rd to Dunkirk in the Belmont. Fair to say that had he not been a gelding he may have been retired to stud at 3, and would have garnered more respect and been held in higher esteem, but such was not his fortune. Each time I looked forward to his races this year was ultimately a disappointment. But to watch him in the paddock and in training you'd never know it.

I think people are underestimating just how bad D Wayne Lukas is.
Give him to Chip Wooley and I believe he would start hitting the board again in dirt races. But the owners are too blind to see the negative Lukas factor.

Funny Cide went to Woodbine, too, where this horse won several races at 2.

I'd say Giacomo was still the bigger "upset" in that there were actually a couple horses in the sophomore class of 2005 that ran in the Derby and actually ended up having some talent.

He wasn't totally hopeless, but from his preps and subsequent career he was basically a bridesmaid. Mine That Bird and Canonero II were completely illogical.
