Hey....was a very strange/bad ride...no doubt......but you have loudly let all living species on this planet know about the ride....mission accomplished...

I really haven't been following this horse.....not sure if he is Derby material....but one thing is sure...Lukas will run the poor horse in races where he doesnt belong and most likely burn the horse out....

Just stating the obvious to most racing fans.

Two things seem obvious to me.

1) The ride was bad.
2) So is the horse.

We are talking about the incompetence of the ride, and the incompetence of a few posters to recognize how bad the ride actually was

As far as your opinion on the horse.. you are entitled to your own opinion. Hopefully youll be proven wrong in a few weeks if hes sound enough to run back.

Along the way, there were some close finishes for the barn last weekend, and some troubled trips, most notably the one experienced by Westwon, the seventh-place finisher in the $50,000 Dixieland on Friday. Westwon came into the race off a maiden win at Keeneland.

"I thought Westwon got a really rough trip the other day in the stakes," said Lukas. "That's a nice horse, and I think he'll show that when he goes two turns. He got in trouble two or three times in that race."

Heres the comment from the DRF what a surprise.
