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.
