Seems like periodically I get an opening to mention this and cant resist.
Some might know, others may have forgotten, but the most important
\"assistant\" to D Wayne, until 1994, was his son Jeff.

I keep with my racing lore a copy of an article in the Thoroughbred Record
from September 1988, an article written by Steven Crist profiling New York\'s
leading trainers. Crist notes that \"in some eyes, Jeff Lukas is as good a
hands on horseman as his father and perhaps a better one.\"

Most gamblers always assume the latter. I\'m tired of good trainers being thrown under the bus of slander and unsubstantiated rumor because they are successful and a gambler didn\'t see it coming.

Sighthound,

 I gamble. I prefer to gamble on my own performance that\'s why i\'ve given the planet an open invite to anyone 170lbs give or take 1lb.To quote Mjellish \"you have to respect your cash\". The sport is armwrestling and my price is $500.00 .

Do you believe suspicious behavior leads to suspicious thoughts and inevitably
words. ie: Black Caviar. As a lover of horses( there are cats in the barn no?)
and a gambler it\'s quite rare for anything to go 25-0. She\'s Special.
 
Ah there was a Special One who had run in his Day that i had immense respect for. Now his Cuz owns the four county town. Going 6.5 on the weeds at Laurel Park and i say he\'s unbeatable at equal impost by anything equine. Anything !
