Henning, Bradshaw, Barnett, Maker, McLaughlin, Stewart, and Pletcher all went to D Wayne U.
I don't think it's a positive that he 'reinvented training'. Whittingham, Stephens, Luro, et. al. trained horses they knew and understood, not 'units' in one of several stables around the country. Lukas was best as a scout and a manager - pick out the athletes and smooze the owners, figure out the line-up. His assistants trained the horses.
