My hat is off to Lukas for winning another triple crown race after 14 years.

He had 3 in the 80s.

I even bet one of the three. But, I am not sure I get the point.

Again, Lukas deserves lots of credit for what he has done with this horse. But, if anyone has been playing his horses for the last decade and a half based on his 13 Triple Crown wins, they would be broke by now.

So what exactly is "the Lukas factor"? He has run a lot of horses that obviously weren't worth betting, but I never dismissed them just because of Lukas.

Not trying to butt in, but i dismiss Lukas horses because he runs a lot of horses that obviously aren't worth betting.

Excellent posting, CL. And your bringing up your Derby un-call on Orb was pretty darn humble and classy, too.

My hubby played two hundred dollars to win on Oxbow and had a five dollar trifecta! Woohoooo!! We dined like royalty tonight thanks to to Coach Darryl Wayne Lukas!!

What a day!!!!

Never ever count out the old veterans of the racing wars, Lukas will be winning important races until the day he calls it quits.

Great job Doug.. When the 1:13.1 went up, I thought to myself 'they're never going to get to him now'.
