Lukas living in the past? I dream of Cat Thief, and Spain

[The Indomitable DrugS]

KG,

If you draw a line through the form of his two lifetime sprint races....you're basically looking at the form of a 200/1 shot.

Being that he's bred to sprint top and bottom....I think his pedigree also confirms him as a sprinter.

You have too much faith in Lukas I think---as, he just wants to dance every dance. This horse would be a lot better off if he'd have just been pointed to sprint races---and trained to be a sprinter.

If that were the case, Lukas could have entered him in the Derby. There's no bigger dance than that one.

I don't know anything about pedigree. It's meaningless stuff to me.

One thing that I know about Lukas is that he isn't afraid to take chances in races. He isn't afraid to sacrifice a race either if he thinks it will help him get his horse ready for the bigger test.

I understand that more than likely, I'm wrong and u guys are right. But none of his competitors look to me like Smarty Jones or Ghostzapper or Candy Ride so it wouldn't take much of a jump for FFC to get to their level. It's not like he's got to get to the 115 Beyer level to compete with them. And they have questions to answer too. We'll see on Saturday.

Didn't have the earnings, or Lukas probably would have.

Like phil pointed out, it's a given that had FCC had enough earnings, Lukas would have run him in the derby.

About your pedigree comment, I am somewhat in the same boat as you. I do know a little about it and pay some attention to the breeding.
But my comments on FCC were not based on breeding, they were based solely on his running lines and pace and speed figures. From that I can see that he is not likely to be competitive at 1 3/16 against anyone, let alone GR1types.
