CHINO HILLS, CA, April 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) Lukas, the World's Smartest Horse (according to the World Records Academy) and Guinness World Record Holder, has been nominated for a star on the renowned Hollywood Walk of Fame! According to Karen Murdock, Lukas' owner/trainer, Lukas' category is Performance (apparently there wasn't one for best smile).

Trivia question: But what about Trigger? (see answer below)

His story has been heard on Pet Talk Radio, Pet Talk Live Radio, Animal Talk Radio, and the Horse Radio Network, among others. Lukas has been recognized as the World's Smartest Horse by the World Records Academy and is a Guinness World Record Holder for: "Most numbers identified by a horse in one minute: 19."

Lukas' spectacular documentary, detailing his journey from a racetrack reject to Internet stardom, is posted on his web-site and his free training videos are highly popular and appeal to a broad audience.
Trivia answer: Although Trigger's hoof-prints lie alongside Roy Rogers' in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, the palomino isn't officially listed as a star recipient.
According to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Nomination for the 2011 Selection Committee:
I, the undersigned, Lukas, do hereby gladly accept the nomination put forth on my behalf for a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.
