D. Wayne Lukas . . . .

[Dave in TJ Mex]

. . . who would have thunk it, he was two inches from having another --- and unlikely --- BCC winner and probably horse of the year.

He provides hope and inspiration for all of us geezers everywhere!     

Looking forward to seeing Will Take Charge next year. 

[Zenyatta]

At least with Lukas at the helm we can be sure he'll be back for a 4 year old season. 

The horse was a big Baby Huey type that grew to Zenyatta-size and took awhile to get his legs running under him right.
