Please God - let this horse enter the Wood

They would reject him. What's the big deal...DWL isn't who he used to be. They'd have no problem showing him the door.

This horse is being bet every time he runs at Oaklawn for some odd reason. And why in the hell did Lukas debut him in an ALW race.

Well, he's well bred, apparently the connections thought highly of him, often times a trainer has little say until a horse proves his ability (or lack there of).

what in his previous form made him 9:1 last time???? on a stretch-out with no class drop nonetheless. He must have been against some real goats.

Ok - Trivia time - both of these current 3yo's were born on April 11th.

One horse is STILL currently rated #3 on Molly Jo Rosen's Kentucky Derby list ... and the other is owned by Derby Trail poster GBBOB and trained by poster Cannon Shell.



GBBob or #3 rated Derby horse?




GB Bob or #3 rated Derby horse?


Hint ... the one with the faster numbers of the two is owned by GB Bob and trained by Cannon Shell.

If Cannon Shell was still at Tampa he might have made some noise in those big 3yo stakes.

The Larry Jones horse who ended up winning the race was 9-1 as well and was coming off a hopelessly fast speed duel going a route. The two horses on the inside were also destroyed at the start. It was a crazy race. I'm sure LJ cleaned up on his winner.

For what it's worth, Lukas has actually been pretty damn good at Oaklawn this meet. I know he has done OK there in the past then flopped everywhere else. He's stretching horses out, especially maidens and they're running really well because there's such a premium on speed going two turns at OP.

Those Westrock people better sell lots of coffee because they burn through millions with D. Wayne every year.

You need to do a little homework on Joe Ford.

Aside from being a super nice person.....he has WAY more money than Wayne could ever blow through.

I have no basis to dispute him being a nice guy. I think he was involved in Alltel or something communication-related. Their coffee is terrific, I won the trivia contest on HRTV a couple of weeks ago and received four lbs of it in the mail.

However, the amount of high priced yearlings they give to Lukas and get very little back from is long.

My only point was that money will never be a problem for him.

I happen to like him a lot. He's one of racing's good guys. But that has nothing to do with anything you posted.

Wayne's pretty good at blowing through money. Just ask him.
