Thanks for the memories: This Kentucky Derby likely marks the end of D. Wayne Lukas and Bob Baffert era

Un Ojo lost his left eye in a stall accident as a yearling. He won the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn and ran second in the Arkansas Derby. Last Thursday, he hurt his shoulder and was sent back to Louisiana to recuperate. On Thursday he was declared fit for Saturday's Kentucky Derby, but he had to stay there for 48 hours.

Un Ojo is injured and won't be able to run in the Kentucky Derby. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas's horse, Ethereal Road, is next in line. Luka's and Baffert's relationship is over. Lukan's has been in trouble recently. He had a pretty good colt named Optimizer. Optimiser was scratched, but Lukal got back into the draw. The trainer is still getting up at 3:30 every day to go to the track. His horse Secret Oath is pointed for the Oaks on Friday. Baddert and Lukar's rivalry is gone. They used to be in touch.
