A nice write up about him.

I met him at F&T July in 2005, wasn't anything I expected after reading Wild Ride. I was in the company of someone who knew Lundy fairly well and he believes Lundy really was too stupid to have any part of the death of Alydar. We all know he was too stupid to be running the farm.
Coincidentially, last night while exercising I watched ESPN Classic Affirmed & Alydar..such mixed opinions of those in the Industry about Lundy & Alydar.

Yes, as Steve said, the farm -- which I believe is owned by a trust established by Henryk de Kwiatkowski, as part of his estate plan -- is being run by the children and some of their advisors.
J.T. is still "in the business" as a bloodstock agent more or less. Yes, you saw him at Keeneland as he is at most of the sales. I've read the book several times. It's an incredible read -- the history of the Wright family and Calumet Farm, the various family members, the estate planning intracacies which lead to Lundy having complete control, and of course the downfall and aftermath.
