I will not be at all surprised if Mr Z ends up in the winners circle Saturday but even if he runs dead last, my respect for the great DWL will be maintained!

It may not be popular, but I'm with you on DWL.

I'm a huge Lukas apologist but his statement with his reason for entering is ridiculous.

I'm with Sighty !


she might hurt me if not

I can't speak for anyone else, but taking issue with dwls motives for entering Mr. Z is certainly not to be considered an indictment of his entire career. Everyone knows lukases record overall.

In the eighties, Lukas was the grim reaper of horse flesh.

He was the horse holocaust.

I remember one time he entered a filly that was off from and I was told by a friend that the barn expected her to breakdown. She did, and died.

Anyone that defends him defends him from a position of ignorance.

He's a disgusting piece of shid.

Guess I'm just ignorant, I've heard all the horror stories, must be true cause they appear frequently on the net based on whispers from the backstretch, guess it takes an intellect greater than mine to realize the gossip of losers is the source of truth.

Calumet makes a profit...30k to enter, 45k purse in return...

If it makes it easier for you to rationalize your belief by dismissing facts, you truly are beyond hopeless.

Whispers from the backstretch? Hardly. I knew the person extremely well and found him to be pretty reliable when he passed on info like that.

If you actually took ten minutes to research all the horses he butchered in the 80's and into the 90's, maybe you'd form an opinion based on reality, instead of fantasy.

Nobody even came close to his levels of attrition.

Gossip of losers? Man, you are clearly the biggest idiot on this board.

How the heck is it gossip when he tells me before the race that the horse is expected to break down, the horse then breaks down, and is euthanized?

In what sort of vampire fantasy reality do you live in?

I really can't stand people like you.

Go stick your head back into a hole in the ground.

Swale died from a heart attack while getting a bath!!

Haters gonna hate! When all else fails hide behind your keyboard and spew insults. I've been called worse by better so hopefully your ego is all better now...
