He has 4 Kentucky Derby winners, and still has more Breeders Cup wins than any other trainer. He took the Jack Van Berg model and ran with it. He's the trainer that created the whole "super trainer" picture that we see today, and he spawned the likes of Todd Pletcher.....and quite a few others.

Why is it that people can't spell his name correctly? It's a totally meaningless issue, but it still makes me crazy. I see it all over the place and it just drives me nuts.

His name is D Wayne Lukas folks....that's Lukas with a "K". Like him or not, he's more than earned the right to have his name spelled correctly.
i agree, they probably don't even care he lost. the horse is not fully cranked and had trouble. when i saw him up here last year the horse stuck out compared to the others his age, hes a beast. like someone else said , you want them running in may and this horse didn't need to win yet but he ran a credible closing race.
