Posted Jul 2, 2025
D. Wayne Lukas, the cowboy-hatted former schoolteacher who revolutionized horse training and helped redefine thoroughbred racing in the modern era, died Saturday after a brief illness. He was 89. A four-time Kentucky Derby winner and 20-time Breeders’ Cup champion, Lukas didn’t just train champions — he trained the sport itself.
