Wayne Gets the Blame Where Turf Meets Surf

It’s not Farma Way’s fault, according to trainer Wayne Lukas. It must be the jockey’s. Let’s try the No. 2 money-winning jockey, No. 1 seems to have lost it. Well, shucks, that didn’t work, I guess we can’t blame the riders any more.

Gee whiz, that leaves only one variable. Nah! It couldn’t be the trainer, could it? There’s no way a trainer could have that much influence on the outcome. Besides, I think they tried switching trainers on another horse, that Best Pal. I wonder how he’s been doing lately.
