Preview: Coming off a third-place finish in the Blue Grass Stakes, Cape Town gives trainer D. Wayne Lukas a Kentucky Derby starter for the 18th consecutive year and not much more, although securing Jerry Bailey to ride definitely helps. Three-year-old season includes a disqualification victory in the Florida Derby. Cape Town's dam Seaside Attraction won the 1990 Kentucky Oaks. Lukas' 32 Derby starters are more than any trainer in history. Owns five victories in 10 lifetime starts.
