As glowing as all this sounds, it wasn't always this way. Lukas (race name Just Ask Mike) left the track as a two year old with two bowed tendons after three unmemorable race finishes, changed hands several times and ended up emaciated and neglected in a back yard. He was rescued by Sue Smith, who took pity on the then 8 year old chestnut gelding - "you could see every rib and his tail was a solid bat of dried mud." Smith, a local trainer had hoped to eventually include him in her amateur jumping program. After two years though, he still wasn't fitting in, according to Smith, and I purchased him from her after seeing his picture ad in the local Horsetrader. |
