http://blogs.courier-journal.com/rac...ment-ceremony/ He looks very fit and ready to go. We watched him leaving the Paddock at the BC, and were struck by how good he appeared, and for a brief moment thought he might show some spark. I hope he eventually finds his way to the KHP. So long, MTB.

He ran a tremendous Derby, a very respectable 2nd to Rachel in the Preakness (a very exciting race), and was a very close 3rd to Dunkirk in the Belmont. Fair to say that had he not been a gelding he may have been retired to stud at 3, and would have garnered more respect and been held in higher esteem, but such was not his fortune. Each time I looked forward to his races this year was ultimately a disappointment. But to watch him in the paddock and in training you'd never know it.

I think people are underestimating just how bad D Wayne Lukas is.
Give him to Chip Wooley and I believe he would start hitting the board again in dirt races. But the owners are too blind to see the negative Lukas factor.

Funny Cide went to Woodbine, too, where this horse won several races at 2.

Chip Wooley is a positive factor? He was an okay 2 year old on synth that got pretty good for about 5 weeks as a 3 year old. He was never going to get back to that form. His owners were a bit overzealous with his placings this year and were too stubborn to run him where he belongs. Lukas is a shell of his former self, but give me a break with some of this.

 I have to thank you cause I really did want to see this but then got busy, too lazy to look for it, all kinds of excuses. This horse... it's funny cause I wasn't a fan or anything and sure as hell didn't have him in the Derby but the more time that goes by... he just has this endearing quality. I wish him a long, happy and healthy life and yes I agree I hope he ends up there.

The biggest upset in Derby history. Bar none.
