How can you say that with a straight face? She was just another mane and tail until the master went to work and turned her around.

I cant tell if you are joking or being serious. Lukas had her only to get her ready for the Breeders Cup Classic and that was after she won TWO eclipse awards.

I hope you are joking as this is absurd.

What is absurd about it?

Lukas had her in the Apple Blossom and won just like she did the two previous years. She then lost 3 straight until she beat Sightseek. But what did he do that Laura didnt.

Lukas took a bowed horse that the previous trainer said was finished and turned her into a true champion. Denying that is just silly.

Did she win the eclipse award when she was under Lukas?

It was a politically motivated backlash that prevented that from happening. A travesty of justice, which was so perverted that in the court of public opinion, the master Lukas and his mare were vindicated.

injuries aside, she was a good horse. But your making DWL to be the "Messiah" of horse racing b/c of this?

It's not like he took a 9 YO $2500 claimer from Penn National and won the Apple Blossom with her. The horse was talented before she was in his care, you can't deny that. So he took the horse and made her even better, great, awsome all the best to DWL.

but your comment about him being the best thing to happen to Thoroughbred Racing is lose. A lot of people paved the way to Thoroughbred Racing before DWL was even a spec on the map.

The horse was not bowed. The horse did have some tendinitis in one of her tendons, but it wasn't that serious. I know that because one of my trainers uses one of the vets that examined her. The only thing the horse needed was a short break. The reason DeSeroux wanted to retire her was because she knew that she was about to get fired.

I was actually extremely critical of Paulson's son at the time. I couldn't believe that he was trying to bring Azeri back. Here is a horse who had won 9 graded stakes races in a row for him. She had won two Eclispe awards. I couldn't believe that he would try to bring her back when she has a bow and put her at risk. But then I totally changed my opinion when I found out that the horse wasn't bowed and that DeSeroux totally exaggerated the extent of the injury.

I agree. Azeri won around 10 or 12 graded stakes races under DeSeroux. She won 3 with Lukas. Don't get me wrong, Lukas did a good job with her but she the horse was already a super-star.

maybe you're thinking of spain? certainly not azeri.
i have to say, altho some trainers real or perceived coldness might be offputting, i was also nauseated every time LDS called azeri 'honey bear'.

Yes, Spain was more excellent work by the master Lukas. I too, recall wanting to puke each time the words "honey bear" were invoked.

For example:

I bowed honey bear, she is finished. I can't believe that evil man ( lukas) thinks he can race her. I feel bad for my little honey bear.
