Hall of Fame Trainer D. Wayne Lukas Hospitalized, Ends Career
Hall of Fame horse racing trainer D. Wayne Lukas, aged 89, has been hospitalized due to a severe infection that has worsened, leading to his decision to decline aggressive treatment and not return to training. His horses have been transferred to his longtime assistant, Sebastian “Bas” Nicholl, who expressed deep respect for Lukas' legacy and influence. Lukas is one of the most accomplished figures in horse racing history, with 15 Triple Crown victories, second only to Bob Baffert, and a record-tying 20 Breeders Cup wins. He has won the Kentucky Derby four times and trained 26 Eclipse Award champions, including three Horses of the Year, with his career spanning six decades and amassing 4,967 documented wins and over $301 million in earnings. Churchill Downs president Mike Anderson praised Lukas for transcending the sport and taking it to new heights, highlighting his character, wisdom, and horsemanship. Lukas will soon return home to be with his family, and they have requested privacy during this difficult time.
