Whicker: Accelerate is turning Del Mar into his home court

DEL MAR — Lookin At Lucky was aptly named. Every time the horse looked up, luck was running somewhere else.
He was named Horse of the Year in the 2-year-old division and the 3-year-old division, in 2010 and 2011, and no horse had done that since Spectacular Bid (1978-79). He won the  2010 Preakness and six other major stakes.
But several bad moons rose to separate Lookin At Lucky from greatness.
He was the favorite in the Kentucky Derby but drew the No. 1 post position on a muddy day.
