All I ever read about Whirlaway included some comment about how nuts he was.

I can't imagine a horse could be meaner or more of a terror to be around than Virginia Rapids.

I heard when Storm Cat was in his younger days was too much to handle for Team Lukas and all of his future Hall of Fame assistant trainers.

My father has a scar on the side of his face from where a horse he trained bit him. He said not only did that horse hate him - but he was also just about the single worst claim he ever made.

He said he planned to "get even" with the horse - but "your mother" sold him for peanuts before he was able to sell him.

i think that was because of his racing antics, not any meanness. from some of what i read, his trainer was a nut! i think it was him that the trainer sat on a horse not far off the rail and had the jock point whirlaway to the gap between him and the rail.
