Default Lukas - Off to a good start.

The story is in todays morning edition of the DRF. I was interested in seeing how lukas does at Oaklawn. This is the first time in a very long time that he had all his horses at one track. And it is the first time in a long time that he is personally training all of the horses. Below are his stats and the link to the story.

Also, is seems like patrons are once again coming out to the track and they are spending their money which is awesome. Oaklawn is one track that gets "it."

Also, does anyone know anything about this Steve Hobby? I don't think I ever heard of him. But he is also off to a great start as well.

He was a favorite of mine, the gray use to always dropped back to
last and made one big run. Will never forget Terry Wallace saying i
n his race calls Chindi is picking them up and laying them down.
I heard that he is a stable pony for Hobby.

The best part is you could hear the crowd going wild when he ran. If you stand in front of his stall he'll stare you down all day. He's not mean, just the boss.

until now I could toss any horse trained by D. Wayne Lukas...
I didn't bet him last Saturday. Didn't even look at the horses he had and it cost me dealry. I will be more forgiving next time, but he will have a horse that he thinks should win in a walk that won't hit the board - then he will know the heaviest $2 in racing has put it to him.
