On the occasion of Luck's birthday in June 2022 Kenny Rice, his frequent colleague on NBC, commented that ‘if it isn’t a national holiday in the UK, it should be’.[3]

He was a member of British horseracing’s Whip Consultation Steering Group which in mid-2022 produced 20 recommendations relating to the use of the whip in British racing, all of which were approved by the Board of the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) and were published with other review documentation on 12 July 2022.
