When I heard that he gets up at 3 a.m., I never doubted his character. There's all kinds of rumors about people, but don't believe it.

As someone who has worked on the racetrack, I can verify he is at the barn every morning at 4am.

😢The only sacrifice that Lukas ever made has been the numerous horses he has over-trained and over-raced, resulting in injuries, retirements, and catastrophic breakdowns. Lukas is the trainer equivalent of the GRIM REAPER.
