What happened to that horse called Lucpark ? With all due respect and I mean this in all sincerity, its connections got the most out of that horse, that was the cheapest horse to win $50,000 in a year in the history of horse racing. I swear that was a 5,000 claimer.

Small time Owner/trainer/driver, Slots came in and pushed me out, Didn't have big money to buy competitive horses for our newly slot infused purses.  It Just let the bigger stables come in and dominate the little guy who was faithful and filling the box for $1000 purses. Now 90 percent are gone or warming up or working for other stables.
In the words of SCM,,I GOTTA EAT!

Lucpark had a big heart.
Bad feet not the greatest gaited horse but alwsys tried

I sold him after his four yr old yr

Won many minor stakes in Illinois. We got bad trips and bad luck on super nights 🥲🥲

He won the governors cup for me at two ❤️👍

Never forget that.  EVER 👍

My wife passed. I didnt have fun doing it anymore. I sure hope my last home bred turns out well. It would certainly make for a great story.

Not a level playing field. Skewed toward the biggest stables and drug injecting trainers. The odds of breaking even on a yearling is almost nil. If you have money to burn and enjoy horses it's a great pastime.

My biggest mistake was owning 4 cheap $4000 claimers instead of a couple of 6000-80000 horses. I thought "more was better"  but that was wrong. At least for me. Vet bills , Farrier coast, and daliys made it almost impossible to afford. I loved the people i met, and really enjoyed being part of "the game". But in the enf the cost was prohibitive. But i do miss it A lot.

Semi-retired
Due to old age and lack of desire.
Plus most of my long time owners have died off.
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

My horses were run over by Oakes and all the rest of the POS gassing trainers. I loved going to the barn, shoveling shit, jogging horses around the track. The cheats drove me out.
