Winning the KD has been done by a ton of people, it is a nice thing. But only the triple crown winners are immortals.

Every top trainer in the business has one dream. To win the TC, not the derby.

You obviously don't know Lukas that well. Ask any former assistant and they will tell you the guy was/is obsessed with winning the TC.

I don't know him at all. I do, however, know that he has left an indelible mark of accomplishment in this game. For you to suggest that because he didn't have a TC winner he in some way failed is beyond absurd.

The man's accomplishments are simply incredible. He is certainly closer to being immortal than Billy Turner.
