- We catch up with D. Wayne Lukas, after he gets off his pony following his last set of horses to train at Churchill Downs Saturday morning, to talk about winning his record-tying fifth Kentucky Oaks at age 86 with Briland Farm's Secret Oath. Lukas also discusses the possibility of running Secret Oath in the Preakness Stakes, with Ethereal Road also a candidate.
He certainly knows his horses as well as his competition... 5:55 he wrote the script for what would happen.
Horses keep you young.
When Todd Pletcher went on his own, D. Wayne Lukas bought him a Cowboy Hat, Todd has never worn it, Lukas ribs Pletcher all the time about this. (true story)
Some Pundits including some young woman on a Podcast had the Audacity to QUESTION the way Lukas was Training Secret Oath and how He was Pushing her too hard in Training up to the Oaks...Shut up and stop being ignorant to try and act SMART...Secret Oath "Dominated" The Oaks
I don’t know who the young lady was or to her credentials ( if any), as to training, but Secret Oath easily won against an outstanding field.
This is a really awesome interview . I love the age defying part …. He’s a G.O.A.T.
Boy was he right about the Derby.
Best of luck in the preakness
Age is a traitor. I remember Mr. Lucas being a good looking man....life is a cheat.
My God man ! The guy is 106!
@@6699230 that's funny! Thank for the smile!
Hell why would D Wayne want to retire and vacation the world which is so screwed up I'd take the race tracks in KENTUCKY any day
Wayne just told EVERYBODY he wants to run her in the Acorn as opposed to Preakness and the owner has no interest in Black-Eyed Susan.
I'd like to know that when Secret Oath had that 4 furlong bullet work in :45 at Churchill if that's a marking point or cue for her to take off during the Oaks. If you watch Rich Strikes 17 length win last November it was from the rail in a one turn mile and if you watch his derby win it was exactly on the rail and looked exactly like his 17 length win last November. Guess you gotta work for D Wayne to get the answer
D Wayne darn you I got distracted by e road scratched out and didn't even look at #21 but the fact is Secret Oath worked out in :45 and Strike Rich won a mile in 1:37 at Churchill by 17 so one could say it was a workout so you subscribers to this station just learned something. If you make the derby out of say 15,000 to 30,000 foals a year u have a shot
Can you imagine the gazillions dollars D Wayne could have made with an Oaks Derby daily double by replacing e road with Rich Strike cause they both post 20! It reminds me of how my dad made so much money by betting the names of his dogs! Sometimes gotta throw the form away and go with the flow.
Good DWayne gonna retire at 96 that means I'll retire at 106 ain't gonna let him whup me but I don't know how he still rides because I have no knowledge of ponies he must have a really good trusty one.
Wayne was always good with women,...i mean fillies and mares.
Yep I remember that :45 bullet work Secret ladies secret oath had at Churchill this year
That lady doesnt know when to stop
Awesome to see this man still out there doing what he loves at his age. We all could be so lucky when we reach an older age. Best of luck to him moving forward.
Wayne Lucas is a good looking guy right now. Never saw him before this edit!!
It would be great ot see a followup interview on what he thought about the Derby and Rich Strike's unbelievable win. I'm guessing he won't go to the Preakness because now he has another great horse to contend with.
Rich Strike just ran the race of his life. VERY likely never duplicate it. Has ZERO chance in the Preakness.
@@jaysantos536 I agree with that. I said it elsewhere. It was amazing how everything worked in Leon's favor. When that crowd of horses parted to let him through it was like Moses and the Red Sea. like the special effects in a Hollywood movie. RS is a great horse, but the chances of him getting through again will be much less. But I will be rooting for him.
@@jaysantos536 the only horse that has zero chance is the one that’s not running. One thing for sure is never underestimate any horse
@@jaysantos536 IMO the barn has made the right decision to skip Pimlico and aim for Belmont. If RS can win the Belmont his value as a sire will increase. His sire Keen Ice won the Travers & comes from a respectable line so a Belmont win would be a plus for RS especially if he can pass it to his get. RS seems like a fit & healthy horse with good handlers. I hope he wins again. Then let's go to Saratoga & The BC Classic in the fall. I see dollar signs in every direction.
@@6699230 Good analysis but I just don't buy Rich Strike as the next "superstar". But I also believe this is a VERY weak crop of three year old colts as well.
That lady is a question machine with no off button 😵💫
You ain't lying
Would love to have Her as my lawyer instead of the moron who represented me
He trained Secret Oath to perfection. He has a great job, shows up every day, riding his pony! Congrats, D Wayne Lucas!
Could've won the Kentucky Derby with the wicked pace in front of her
Certainly could’ve
You're looking good yourself, Coach!
The old guy gave you zandon and epicenter, you needed to see the 110 number closing on the drf racing form for rich strike and roll the 🎲.
Ol buzzy
Even with Bob Baffert out of the derby y'all can only reach 2nd place. The kentucky derby this year was a bullshit game . How can two of top contenders run such a fast qtr mile only to be caught in the end . I'll tell you why , because it's such a fixed game . It stinks all the way down here to Texas.
The answer to your question is this. It's horse racing. Fast pace and a brilliant ride by a jockey, that's how it happen. Watch and study the race. Leon made the right moves at the right time an he had a horse under him who had some run in him. Shalom
Abby, shit happen. Horses are not machines. Fans still love the game.
@@agustindejesus7398 You know nothing about horses or horse racing. I've had and been around horses my whole life. Horses are consistent runners . A slow horse will always be slow , a fast one the same etc etc .
@@abbyarnold4477Abby, the last sentence in your video tell me that you are the one who still need to learn.
@@abbyarnold4477 Your comment" its a fixed game" proves you dont know sh#t about the game.
