Oklahoma City, Okla., Time TBD LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — D. Wayne Lukas thinks the hard est thing for trainers to do at their first Kentucky Derby is to remove themselves from the hoopla and concentrate on the task at hand. D. Wayne knows Derby. On Saturday, the 64-year-old Hall of Fame trainer will saddle High Yield, Commendable and Exchange Rate, his 36th, 37th and 38th starters, in a quest for his fifth victory at his 20th consecu tive Derby at Churchill Downs. “The biggest mistake you can make is to run horses that don’t belong, and we’re all guilty of that,” Lukas said Thursday. “Some people run a horse be cause they have an honest fantasy that they have a chance, when in reality they don’t.” There is a lot of quality in the field, which was reduced to 19 3- year-olds when Globalize, a 50-1 show in the early line, sustained a gash on his lower left hind leg when he was kicked by a pony while being escorted from the track. The two top favorites are Wood Memorial winner Fusaichi Pegasus and The Deputy, winner of the Santa Anita Derby and trained by Jenine Sahadi. Anoth er contender is War Chant, the Neil Drysdale-trained stablemate of Fusaichi Pegasus, who won his first three career starts before fin ishing second in the Santa Anita Derby. Lukas said he was against lowering the 20-horse limit. “You’ve got to give them (owners and trainers) a chance to live the dream or it’s just another race,” he said. Lukas, who was highly criti cized in the media for running Deeds Not Words last in a 13- horse field in 1997, is confident his three colts will do well in the 126th Derby. “I feel very comfortable,” he said. “I don’t see any superstars.” A lot of people, however, think Fusaichi Pegasus could be on the verge of superstardom. The best bet for a second straight victory for Lukas, who won last year with Charismatic, appears to be High Yield. He was the winner of the Fountain of Youth, runner-up to Hal’s Hope in the Florida Derby and the front running victor of the Blue Grass Stakes April 15 at Keeneland. “I think High Yield probably is getting the focus, but he has the most experience,” Lukas said when he was asked to compare his three colts. High Yield, ridden by Pat Day, drew the No. 18 post, but moved inside after Globalize was scratched. Fusaichi Pegasus moved to No. 15 and The Deputy moved in to No. 10. “I’m not too concerned about 18,” Lukas said before Globalize was injured. “If I had a choice I might have moved in a few holes, but I wouldn’t have moved in too much. You’.re talking to a gijy who has won from the auxiliary gate.” All horses who start outside the No. 14 post start from the aux iliary gate. Lukas won with Thunder Gulch from No. 16 in 1995, with Grindstone from No. 15 in 1996 and with Charismatic from No. 1-6 last year. His other winner, the fil ly Winning Colors, started from No. 11 in 1988. >?

I--.. . ■ .■. .■ MADDEN Sports in Brief day in Kansas City, Mo. The Aggies cruised to 4-0 victories over Oklahoma, No. 15 Texas and No. 4 Baylor in the tournament. Women’s Tennis preps for NCAA Champs The Texas A&M women’s tennis team will face the University of Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Championships in Berkeley, Calif., the se lection committee announced Thursday. The Aggies will be seeded third in the regional hosted by the University of Cal ifornia, which take place May 13-14 at the Heilman Tennis Center on the UC- Berkeley campus. The Bears, who are the No. 5 nation al seed, earned the No. 1 seed in the re gional. Kentucky is the No. 2 seed, followed by No. 3 A&M and No. 4 University of Pacific.
