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. Paul

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'.

The Dixie and Preakness are great examples of how much more fun racing would be if riders were as competitive as they were in eras that are clearly gone.
Stevens is back with a refreshing, "old school" approach that will enable him to capitalize when the early lead in a route race is uncontested. He has wired four Grade I or Grade II stakes races since February using these tactics. The fact that Goldencents was rated off a pace like that of the Preakness is absolute lunacy. I'm not saying this as sour grapes for Orb or any other horse losing, it just speaks to the stupidity that occurs when jockeys do not ride competitive races. It's no longer just a problem in racing at all levels, it's an epidemic. I'm thrilled for Gary Stevens and D. Wayne Lukas. DrugS, as always, did a phenomenal job highlighting reasons why Oxbow was a good bet in this race. Congrats to those who cashed.
