HALLANDALE, Fla. -- D. Wayne Lukas filed an appeal yesterday for his 60-day suspension in the drug case involving the undefeated filly Flanders, and the trainer was granted a stay until after hearings are held by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board.
Robert Feuerstein, counsel to the board, said by telephone that the stay probably would carry past the Kentucky Derby on May 6, thereby leaving Lukas free to continue training his star 3-year-old colts, Timber Country and Thunder Gulch.
