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.
