D Wayne, set the standard, ever since, he started. Worked for many, many, good trainers. W.W. Perry, Mott, Mandella. Started getting "paid", for brushing horses, with a great, great horseman, and my mentor, Carter Duer, at Peninsula Farm, outside Georgetown, Ky, back in 1983. he was inducted, in harness racing, Hall of Fame, since i've seen him last. He's, on youtube, selling horses.
Excellent upload. I haven't seen these run for the roses documentaries in years. Used to enjoy watching these. I have quite a few but I doubt I can put my hand on them without tearing the house down.

I used to work for the W/W stables and lukas was a quarter horse trainer then. I wonder if one can find win pics from 74 to 76

Hey Brady, who do you like in the Derby? I'm liking how well Will Take Charge is looking...17 hands is huge!
A lot of horses are 17 hands
