I'm sure you'd have to wait in line. He sure has a set of brass ones to ever set foot in Lexington again. Someday, someone hiking in the woods will find a badly decomposed body with multiple broken bones..................

A nice write up about him.
http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/nat...uthanized.aspx Never got to see a race at Ak Sar Ben, but we did a dog show there in '98 and parked the camper right near the Omaha Memorial Plaque for a week.

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.

He weighs like 400 pounds, and goes to a lot of sales, that's about all I know about him.

Then it was him I saw at the sale. He was much fatter than he was in the photos in the Wild Ride book.
It would have been easy to take him down. He was alone, too.
