Caldera arrived safely at Churchill Downs to join the D. Wayne Lukas barn this week and has settled in nicely. The son of Liam’s Map will have a few easy days. We'll follow up once he returns to the track.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MRH
We are thrilled to announce Caldera, our big son of Liam's Map, has officially joined "Coach" D. Wayne Lukas's string at Churchill Downs!
Caldera has been working beautifully at Dave Scanlon's Oak Ridge Farrm. So far, he has been a star student in his training. Nearly every work he's had, Scanlon's noted it was either "a walk in the park" or "he makes it look easy" with his natural athleticism and good mind.
These are great qualities you want to see in a young horse heading into the next stage of their training.
Although Seize the Grey is currently at Saratoga and not in the same barn as Caldera, we can't help to get a little bit of déjà vu with Caldera since last year around this time, Seize the Grey was at Churchill himself. Caldera has huge hoofprints to follow, but there's nothing more exciting than a grey starting their career with D. Wayne Lukas (Seize the Grey, Oxbow, Winning Colors, and Lady's Secret would all agree).
It's now up to Coach and Caldera!
