Mike Rutherford Sr. had a role in producing this year’s Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, owning and breeding the third and fourth dams. The latter, Lakeway, was a four-time G1 winner at 3.

Note to riders: the off-the-pace, premature, slingshot move into the far turn in turf races NEVER works. It's like 2 for 1,000 in the history of racing. On a positive note, Armando Ayuso showed patience and got another win. He's shown vast improvement on the SoCal circuit.

Six minutes with D. Wayne Lukas and his six non-negotiables: a masterclass. Every thoroughbred auction house in North America should have his statue out front; he is responsible for billions in trade.

Last Preakness I covered was 2022. With relationship spanning 40+ years, I spoke with Lukas one morning that week for this piece, in which he dropped one of my favorite quotes: “Filly, colt, government mule. I don’t care. I’m here to win the thing.” drf.com/news/preakness…

As a kid growing up during the 80’s in Indiana it was all about IU hoops & our general Bobby Knight. That’s how I got my first introduction to D. Wayne Lukas. Can remember my father telling me during an IU home game, “look who is sitting on the bench next to coach Knight”… It
