At 86 years young, Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lucas is as spry as ever.
00:07
Now, if you want to catch him, you'd better be early and you'd better be quick.
00:11
I managed to catch him earlier this week to discuss Saratoga and his star filly in the
00:16
barn, Secretos.
00:18
Well, she looked good this morning, Wayne.
00:21
Are you pleased with how she's doing?
00:22
I've been real pleased.
00:23
It's been a good month.
00:24
Actually, it's been two months since the last race, but I'm real pleased with the
00:30
way she's progressing and I'm looking forward to Saturday, actually.
00:37
And if you could envision any kind of trip for her, a good one, because she's had plenty
00:42
of bad ones.
00:43
Well, we're trying to duplicate pretty much what we saw in the old stints, and Louis knows
00:49
her a little better now and he'll have a better feel for it, so I think that it'll come together.
00:56
She's getting better, and I think that with season, it'll be easier for him to put her
01:03
where he wants her.
01:05
How much fun is it for you to come back here every year with a good string of horses?
01:09
Because you've been absent for a while.
01:10
Is it nice to be home here?
01:12
Yeah, you know, I went through the bout of COVID, so that kind of took care of one year.
01:18
And then the other year, I guess, that I wasn't here, I didn't feel like our stable was strong
01:25
enough.
01:26
I don't like to come up here as successful as we've been over the years, and as good
01:31
as this place has been to us, I don't want to come up here and look bad.
01:35
So I waited until we got some nice horses, but we've got a pretty solid competitive group
01:41
right now.
01:42
Is it fair to say you're loaded with two-year-olds?
01:44
I've seen some of them out there.
01:46
We are anxious to run some of our two-year-olds, but we get some of these two-year-old races
01:53
to go.
01:54
It's going to be fun.
01:55
We've got some nice two-year-olds.
01:56
The fillies already have exposed themselves.
01:57
We've got a couple of those.
01:58
Maybe one or two more.
01:59
Tell me a little bit about this handsome chap.
02:00
This is a new pony.
02:01
We are just breaking him and getting him started.
02:02
But he's going to, I think, adapt very well.
02:03
He's good-looking.
02:04
I hope he conforms to his looks.
02:05
Wayne, always great to have you here.
02:06
How are you?
02:07
Good.
02:08
How are you?

02:28
How are you?
02:29
Good.
02:30
Wayne, always great to have you here at Saratoga.
02:31
Well, we're thrilled and tickled to be here.
02:32
It's always been good to be here.
