Wayne is a really super nice guy, my only complaint is we don't hear from him enough. Many of the younger trainers have came up under Wayne Lucas. DWL is a legend is horse racing. He donated some of his personal racing memorabilia to the Ky. Derby Museum. Great guy. Good luck in the Belmont Wayne!
Love this guy.. I can listen to him all day. We need more of DWL . Time is short and horse racing has a treasure in DWL. More more more interviews pls media.
Felt so sorry for him when his son died, here in Oklahoma. I had hoped to meet Jeff one day, but too late now. I have been a fan of him and Wayne for a long time. Poor Jeff never fully recovered from that horse running him down.
Mr. Lukas has mellowed with time and is a joy to listen to when he talks. If I didn't want Justify to win, then I'd like to see him win it and take a 15-14 lead in Triple Crown wins over Bob Baffert.
Mr Lucas, thank you for your candidness and loved that anecdote about Jill not paying you. Also that your horses train fast, Bod's faster. Also telling Jimmy Barnes you wanted to be in front of him because that will be the last you will be in front of him...Hilarious! Haha. Bob B., you have a very good friend in Mr. DWL. Lots of respect to you both. Mr. D, If I were not rooting for Justify, I hope you take over. If Justify makes it, I hope you come in second....hemmm maybe dead heat
Mr Lukas, I remember a guy by the name of Albert Yank, my dad used to shoe horses for him, he told us how he called you up on a horse called winning colors.
wat I would do to have an hour w Wayne, and the two Bobbys..........a blast that would be..........INFACT 30/30 OR 60 MINUTES SPORTS SHOULD do a piece on 'THE TWO BOBBYS'....that would b otta of this world.........god bless ya'll
Final take on race 8 Preakness day 2018. I contacted pimlico race track to report 48,000 or so PLACE pool money was shortchanged to winning tickets. They told me to call the Maryland racing commission who in turn told me to call Thoroughbred Protective Agency who in turn told me to contact pimlico race track. Interesting all 3 are in Maryland. I called FBI and they said to call California Gambling Commissioner sine I was defrauded in California. The Commissioner Admitted I was going over his head with my calculations and so did the FBI! Finally I received printouts of the place pool calculations and it was handwritten that Mitole should have paid 3.00 to place and not 2.40 and the 2nd place horse also should have paid more. The Thoroughbred Protective Agency finally gave me MARYLAND racing rules and it shows a 18% takeout and then a multiplication of .82 on the dividend. They do not use that formula all the time as that would make the mutuel take 36% Apparently they can use the formula at their discretion or else they provided me with a forged document. I have calculated over 300 or so calculations on NYRA place and show payoffs and they are ALWAYS correct. I have calculated over 500 or so payoffs on Santa Anita and Gulfstream payoffs and more often then not they are reduced by .20 ...2.60 place reduced to 2.40 etc. I AGREE with TRUMP firing so many people in govt. after dealing with this issue
I grew up in the late 80s, when D. Wayne Lukas was starting to dominate the Triple Crown. I didnt like him. I thought he was arrogant and self promoting. He wore three hundred dollar sunglasses, two thousand dollar suits, and seemingly won every big race, whether he put three horses in each field, or not. Which I thought was lame. I then lived about 30 more years and learned a lot more about the man. His dedication to excellence, his insane work ethic, and most importantly, his ability to get the most out of his horses. I love the guy now. He was Bob Baffert before Bob Baffert. Its hard to believe that his dominance has been topped, but hes still an amazing trainer, and if theres a Mount Rushmore of horse trainers, hes going to be on it for a longggggg time. I now even love the guys three hundred dollar sunglasses and two thousand dollar suits. My only hope is that he gets one more Kentucky Derby, because he deserves it.
Yea you right,big time money spending all those years for his self,,but for he's help with the stable of 80 race horses like 7 exerciseriders about 20 grooms and 20 hot walkers no days off,he will not even said god morning to any of them forget about spending ten dollars in a box of donuts no way,he will lose he's fortune that's he's real face out of cameras don't be confused outsiders,
Hi Bob, always appreciate, the great feedback!!! I really thot Bravazo was going to win it Travers, mayb Lukas gets him ready for classic???....Chad B was so lucky to work with Frankel, and get to make him espresso and muck his barns, look at him now!!
vambo13257 . when I first saw him I thought Justify was a Triple Crown horse, but his Preakness win was a disappointment. Its a shorter race than the Derby and he shouldn't have come so close to Losing. The Belmont is a long race and its what separates the Secretariats from everyone else. There are 2 possible rabbits in this race. If Justify takes the bait and runs with them he might not have anything left when th e y get to the stretch. Or are we going to see a young horse who in 3 weeks suddenly becomes capable of stalking...getting dirt in his face, and not going to the lead as he prefers? I want him to win. In the 70s 3 horses win the Triple Crown. Clusters can happen.

I could listen to him all day
I love the respect they have for each other. The way he can appreciate how good Justify is shows what a class act Lukas is.

Truly among the greatest trainers of all-time!
Fascinating
It’s a living legend right there boys
It's like horsemen have a brotherly competition I TOTALLY COMPLETELY love it!!!!!
Great honest interview
and just as funny as frankel and Bobby too!!!!,.........great knowledge and explaination to layman terms
Lucas: “mine work pretty fast but his are faster😂🤣”
Nice talk.
Mr Lucas, thank you for your candidness and loved that anecdote about Jill not paying you. Also that your horses train fast, Bod's faster.

@silosvince, 😂😂 They are both class horseman and not a better friendship in the horseracing world.
What I love about horse trainers they always look out to one ANOTHER.
thank you. GOOD lucky
The Best when i hit Charasmatic in the Derby love DWL
Mr Lukas, I remember a guy by the name of Albert Yank, my dad used to shoe horses for him, he told us how he called you up on a horse called winning colors.
Baffert & Lukas ARE the absolute BEST Trainers in all of Horse Racing HISTORY. Right behind Blane Schvaneveldt.
wat I would do to have an hour w Wayne, and the two Bobbys..........a blast that would be..........INFACT 30/30 OR 60 MINUTES SPORTS SHOULD do a piece on 'THE TWO BOBBYS'....that would b otta of this world.........god bless ya'll

@@misterbaseball5494 I didnt know he was like that to his workers. If that is the case, you make a good point about him not being a decent person.
I like Dwayne Lucas very humble man for his age hi look good healthy
Hey Bob P. where can I see footage of Frankel breaking someone' s chops???
Hi Bob, always appreciate, the great feedback!!! I really thot Bravazo was going to win it Travers, mayb Lukas gets him ready for classic???....Chad B was so lucky to work with Frankel, and get to make him espresso and muck his barns, look at him now!!
There you go....when the great trainer (Lukas) talks horses, we better listen and laugh.
D. WAYNE BOGART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no such thing as competition, only unrealised potential?
Justify will NOT win the Belmont

Well......he did..lol
