Horse racing trainer D. Wayne Lukas in hospice care after hospitalization
Legendary thoroughbred trainer D. Wayne Lukas, 89, is back home for hospice care after being hospitalized in Louisville. Lukas had a MRSA blood infection that caused significant damage to his heart and digestive system while also worsening some preexisting conditions, according to a statement released by the Lukas family. The family stated that Lukas declined an aggressive treatment plan, intending to spend his remaining time with his wife and family at home. The Hall of Famer's career spanned more than six decades, working with horses that earned victories at notable race tracks. A succession plan was implemented by Lukas Enterprises Inc., and all horses previously trained by Lukas have been transferred to veteran assistant Sebastian 'Bas' Nicholl. MORE: Legendary horse racing trainer D. Wayne Lukas gravely ill, in home hospice care D. Wayne Lukas' biography Lukas made a name for himself in Southern California, earning his first documented win as a thoroughbred trainer at Santa Anita Park on Oct. 20, 1977, at age 42. He would train thoroughbreds full-time in 1978 with seven horses and became known throughout his career for his trademark barns, which featured a white picket fence, beds of flowers, and painted feed tubs used for decoration. He had a stable based at Churchill Downs in Kentucky since 1989. "A special man, he's been a great friend and very much a father figure to me," Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Kenny McPeek told The Courier Journal. "He raised the standards for our sport to the highest level. An amazing man." More: The 2025 Preakness was thrilling. It was also a big missed opportunity for horse racing. D. Wayne Lukas' accomplishments Lukas had 4,967 documented thoroughbred victories (637 of the 1,105 stakes wins were graded) during his career. His horses earned more than $301 million from 30,607 starts, according to Churchill Downs. The trainer has won the Kentucky Derby four times and the Longines Kentucky Oaks five times during his career. A total of 26 horses trained by Lukas went on to win Eclipse Award championships, including three that were tabbed as Horse of the Year. Lukas' 15 Triple Crown races are second only to trainer Bob Baffert, who has 17 in his career. He was enshrined in horse racing's Hall of Fame in 1999 and the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2007, becoming the first person recognized as a member of both. He had success with quarter horses as well during the 1970s at tracks such as Los Alamitos.

4 'mudders' to bet on at the 2025 Preakness who thrive in the rain
4 'mudders' to bet on at the 2025 Preakness who thrive in the rain It's looking like the storms hammering the East Coast this week may pass by post time for the 150th Preakness Stakes. That doesn't mean the damage won't already be done to the track — and that may end up being the biggest factor at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday. Fortunately, and despite the smaller nine-horse field, there are quite a few contenders who have experience on off tracks entered into the field for the second leg of the Triple Crown. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Every wacky and whimsical 2025 Preakness horse name, ranked If it turns out the track is a mess out there on Saturday, these will be the four horses to keep an eye on. American Promise Friday Odds: 15-1 15-1 Morning Line Odds: 15-1 15-1 Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas D. Wayne Lukas Jockey: Nik Juarez Before the Kentucky Derby, the last time American Promise raced on a muddy track was back on December 29 when the D. Wayne Lukas star won a 1 1/16th-mile race at Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Arkansas. On a muddy Churchill Downs track, American Promise pulled up in 16th in the Run for the Roses. Goal Oriented Friday Odds: 6-1 6-1 Morning Line Odds: 6-1 6-1 Trainer: Bob Baffert Bob Baffert Jockey: Flavien Prat Baffert's Preakness entry is starting on the rail — just like Baffert's Citizen Bull did at the Kentucky Derby — but with a much smaller field than we saw at Churchill Downs, there's less reason to worry about getting squeezed out. Goal Oriented has won the only two events he's entered, which includes a muddy race on the Kentucky Derby undercard, and carries a 109 Equibase Speed Figure on a wet track, which leads the Preakness field. Journalism Friday Odds: 8-5 8-5 Morning Line Odds: 8-5 8-5 Trainer: Michael W. McCarthy Michael W. McCarthy Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Journalism finished second on the wet track at the Kentucky Derby, putting a strong performance on late but not nearly enough to overtake Sovereignty. While Goal Oriented has the top Equibase Speed Figure on a wet track in the field, Journalism arrives in Baltimore with the top Beyer Speed Figure on a wet track (102). Sandman Friday Odds: 4-1 4-1 Morning Line Odds: 4-1 4-1 Trainer: Mark E. Casse Mark E. Casse Jockey: John Velazquez Sandman finished in seventh at the Kentucky Derby, which was the first time it took to an off track. With a Wet Equibase Speed Figure of 86 and a wet Beyer Speed Figure of 87, he'll have to prove quite a bit on Saturday.
