Happy 80th Birthday, D. Wayne Lukas (cont. from p1) For years Lukas has joked that he will never retire, intends to die with his boots on, and figures he will fall off his horse on a track somewhere and be harrowed under. AMy health is very good and I just feel like it=s business as usual,@ he said. AI don=t feel like 80 is any milestone at all or that anything should change. I want to stay competitive. There are a few Will Take Charge with Lukas | Horsephotos things that I would like to do yet. It=s been wonderful all this time training these horses and it=s still good.@ So it goes for the former teacher and basketball coach from Antigo, Wisconsin, who left his job in education after the 1968-69 school year and turned his summer job training racehorses into his full-time gig. AI made a career change and it really worked out well,@ he said, chuckling. Yes it did. Lukas became a dominant player in Quarter Horse racing before making a complete switch to in the 1970s. In the years that followed, he set the standard in the sport for money won and wins at the highest levels. Among the records he holds is career wins in Triple Crown races, 14, as well as the most victories and money won in the Breeders= Cup. He is a member of the Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred halls of fame. Although Lukas certainly qualifies as a senior citizen, he=s not ready to settle in the rocking chair and spend time talking about the good old days. AI=d still like to have another Derby winner or two,@ he said, Aor maybe some of the other Classic races and the Breeders= Cup, races that are so important and milestones in a trainer=s career.@ cont. p4 LUKAS BY THE NUMBERS Starts: 27,998 Wins: 4,720 Earnings: $272,969,650 Breeders’ Cup Wins (#1): 20 Triple Crown Wins (#1): 14 Kentucky Derby Wins: 4 Preakness Wins: 6 Belmont Wins: 4 Eclipse Awards: 5 Horses: 25 U.S. Leading Trainer Titles: 14 Horses of the Year: 3

Happy 80th, D. Wayne cont. AI=ve been really blessed,@ Lukas continued. AWe=re not as competitive as we were in the >80s, the >90s and the early 2000=s, but we had a champion last year and we had a champion the year before. A lot of guys never have a champion. I feel really blessed in that respect. We=re still competitive. Not as much as I=d like to be, but we=re still competitive.@ Will Take Charge was the 3-year-old champ in 2013 and Take Charge Brandi was voted the 2-year-old filly titlist last year. Lukas has never been afraid to aim high and that approach has not changed. AI=d like to win the Triple Crown,@ he said. AI was kidding Bob Baffert the other day. I congratulated him when he did that and I=m very proud and happy to be his friend. I told him, >Bob, I wanted to do that before you did.= That=s hanging out there.@ While he=s as ambitious and confident as he ever was, Lukas acknowledges that he has mellowed in some areas and now savors the successes. AI was telling some friends the other day that I wish in the >80s and >90s when we were winning five or six Grade I=s on a weekend and running through the Triple Crown, that I had stepped back and enjoyed it a little bit more,@ he said. ANow I enjoy it a little bit more, when we do win a Grade I.@ Lukas won two last year with Take Charge Brandi and a total of four in 2013 with Preakness winner Oxbow, Will Take Charge and Strong Mandate. It was part of a comeback from a tough stretch when he went three years between graded stakes victories. Since making the move to Thoroughbreds, Lukas has developed 26 champions, three of whom were elected Horse of the Year. He is adept at stepping around the question of which one tops his personal list of stars. AI=ve been asked that so many times,@ he said. AThe best Quarter Horse I ever had, and I had 23 champions, was Dash for Cash, who absolutely dominated the breed and the racing industry at that point of his career. AThe Thoroughbreds, it Winning Colors and Lukas at the just depends on what era Preakness | Horsephotos you point to. You look at Winning Colors then Serena=s Song and then Lady=s Secret. Down through the years, it=s hard for me to pinpoint which one was probably the best. Brilliance-wise, Landaluce was probably the most brilliant one that I ever had, but her career was so short.

I don=t know if I=d pinpoint one.@ cont. p5 Headline News • PAGE 5 of 11 • thetdn.com Wednesday • Sept. 2, 2015

Though they compete with him for owners, horses and victories, Lukas said he is happy that his former assistants, a group that includes Todd Pletcher, Kiaran McLaughlin, Mark Hennig and Dallas Stewart, have become very successful running their own stables.
