Jimbo, I think you're losing track of the type of horseflesh Lukas has had at his disposal until very recently. He's a numbers cruncher. In the Mid eighties to mid nineties he had managed to convince scores of wealthy unknowledgeable clients he knew what he was doing. You could have shined up ANY trainer, put Lukas's sunglasses and personality on him and had as much success. He's was a master at his craft but that craft wasn't horsemenship. That said, I did have Stellar Jane in the Distaff and Consolidator in the Juvenile in my bets.

The demise of Lukas has been linked to the new drug era. Lukas has always been a speed popper and the new juice is speed pop juice. He hasn't figured out what it is or he wont use it.
