Why is D. Wayne Lukas the object of so much scorn around here? That's an honest question -- I'm not trying to be combative. Since I started following the sport minimally about ten years ago he's pretty much been off the radar as far as the big dogs of the sport were concerned. I've absorbed enough of the game's history since to know that he practically owned the '80s, won four Kentucky Derbies, was the face of horseracing, etc. He was the most successful trainer out there. What happened in between? How did he become (relatively, to what he was) such complete horse$hit? Why are so many people seemingly happy about his fall from the top?

I've got so many questions...

Like: What is the correct way to spell the plural of "Derby?" Is it derbies or derbys? Neither one looks right to me for some reason.
