Lukas down to 40 horses

From everything I've read and seen of his records, DWL is much to complex for me to form a black and white opinion on him. Just the other day I was marveling over his quotes at some seminar, it was something about success and working hard and was probably the best quote I've read in a long time from anyone in this business, but I would probably still choose a different trainer.

If you ever make it out to Los Angeles, give me a call. We can go to the backstretch in the morning and you can talk all the people who know Lukas. You can talk to his former grooms, former exercise riders, vets, and fellow trainers and you can explain to them how they don't know anything about Lukas and how they don't understand him, but how you as a fan know him and understand him better than they do.

Yeah, just like you -- right? Your opinion is more qualified than others here -- why? Because you are in the game? So am I. So are others. My opinion differs from yours. Doesn't mean a thing. We both have opinions, although you state everything as fact. Let me ask you a question -- have you ever been wrong? It doesn't sound like it.

The difference is you started out by making claims and accusations and have no proof whatsover. Rounding up a group of people, I don't care who they are, to agree with you doesn't mean squat. Anyone else can find just as many who would disagree and that too doesn't mean squat. That's really the point -- you don't see the difference between opinion and fact. It seems as if you live in your world of "you are always right" and what you say is "fact", but everyone else who may disagree with you is wrong and don't have qualified opinions. That is MY OPINION.

"Honest" opinions are in the eye of the person who believes them to be honest -- or not for that matter. Maybe they are biased. Maybe they are tainted. Maybe those opinions are filled with personal baggage and venom -- just like your posts, claims, accusations, and statements here on this thread, time and time again, about Lukas.

By the way -- other than your venom, about your claims and accusations -- just to point out one small thing I see . . . Still NO PROOF! Right? I didn't think so.

I don't think a person's reputation is a matter of opinion. His reputation is his reputation. His repuation speaks for itself. My opinion is irrelevant. Whether I like him or hate him, his reputation does not change.

I wasn't talking about rounding a bunch of hand-chosen people. I was talking about walking around and talking to all different people. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone that has anything good to say about him. And it has very little to do with his personality. Bobby Frankel is not exactly a really friendly guy. He may not be all that popular, but even people that don't like him still think he's a good trainer.

As I said before, you can believe whatever you want.

Again, I don't think I ever said that either.
