I assume you're kidding. That will be the day when one of the lowest percentage trainers helps one of the highest percentage trainers. Not only that, despite all of Lukas big wins in the past, he is not considered a good horseman at all. There is no good trainer that would want training advice from Lukas. Despite what any of us think about Lukas whether good or bad, he is the laughing stock around the backstretch. He has a terrible repuation and nobody has any respect for his training ability.

This is different from a guy like Jack Van Berg who doesn't win much any more but is still considered by some to be a good horseman.
