I however I'm not a owner but dad is however. I could list the many horses he owns and runs just primarily at Del Mar but they are to many. I'll just say his first horse was Saratoga Gambler that Bill Spawr halved for 80 or 100 grand. Bill told my father that he had a plan for this horse and that he did. Saratoga Gambler won the Ancient Title which was a Grade II or Grade III at that time. I believe that early in racing southern cal had no designation of Grade I stakes for sprints- New York mostly carried that tradition- Carter, Tom Fool, etc. My point is that so cal was behind the curve with designating these races such as Triple Bend, Ancient Titlle and so on. These races now carry Grade I status because several horses have exited these races to go on to win the Breeders Cup Sprint. e.g. Craig Dollase gelding for Paul Reddam won the Sprint, Jennine Sahadi had two- One of Scuds favorite horses and sires win the Sprint at Woodbine and also the 7 year old gelding that won with the Nak up for her second consecutive Sprint winner. Playa look you obviously know your stuff as you advised that Fantastic New Way was privately purchased by Turf Express and that he would be having a big meet in chi town. He ran once over that yielding turf course this last month and Ariel Smith did not ask the horse because he didn't lift his feet that day. Well maybe he just loves Lone Star where he broke his maiden at 20-1. Probably because Turf Express promptly shipped this filly to Cody Autrey's barn at Lone Star then win easily this last weekend with Cliff Berry up at 4-1. I slammed that filly on the win end and had a 3 dollar that paid 241.50 for $1. Also had 20 dollar straight pik 3 singling filly with 1/5 next race and 6 horses in last. I got nailed by that piece of **** Seeking thr Gold 5 year old who won by a head over my other horse. That horse has costed me tons as he beat my ass opening day at Oaklawn for Tom durant and trained by Jack Burner. What a team Ronnie and Tom made killing everyone with those two year olds for years. Don't worry he has Oxbow farms now; formerly Prestonwood farms. That filly Ermine could really make some noise- only if she had won that Ky Oaks-DAM. Listen I made a mistake attacking you and my info is your info. I look forward to corresponding with ya via DT and email. MONNIPENNY OUT

Playa I am a friend but you have beating on Lukas for years and always bring back the Antley thing. YOU are just wrong, even Somer tried to explain it to you. The guy took hours of interview footage, and cut out 90% of it. He showed the disparaging remarks about Antley not bonding with the horse(perhaps you forgot that while riding Strike The gold for Zito he missed a workout one morning, bringing the same exact criticism from Zito). They didn't show the part of the interview where Lukas praised Antley for his fine rides and credited him with saving the horses life. The guy who made the interview admitted all of this, it was public.
Its tiring dude, if you wanna hate someone go for it, but noone cares about the Antley thing because the rest of us know that the interview that was SHOWN wasnt the full story, and thats not Waynes fault.\
I don't disagree with much you say, but on this one I always will disagree and speak out. Its not personal.
