LOUISVILLE, KY—MAY 2, 2017—D. Wayne Lukas announced this week his personal racing collection of trophies and art will be permanently housed at the Kentucky Derby Museum.

The collection includes four Kentucky Derby and four Kentucky Oaks trophies, Breeders’ Cup trophies, painting of Winning Colors at Keeneland by Peter Curling, bronze sculpture of Serena’s Song by artist Nina Kaiser, multiple Eclipse awards, and photos from his Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred training career.

Lukas was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2007. With roots deeply embedded in Quarter Horse racing he crossed into Thoroughbred racing in the late 1970s.

"When I was considering a permanent home for my collection, the museum was an ideal fit to protect and showcase my legacy for many years to come," Lukas said while making the announcement during a press conference at the Louisville, Kentucky museum Sunday.

Lukas trained the likes of AQHA Racing World Champion Dash For Cash and AQHA Racing Champions Flight 109, Little Blue Sheep and She’s Precious.

In 1979, he saddled his last Quarter Horse winner and went on to become a Hall of Fame Thoroughbred trainer with earnings of more than $276 million.

Patrick Armstrong, Kentucky Derby Museum President, added, "Being the true keeper of the history of the Kentucky Derby, we are always striving to capture and showcase the stories of those connected, whether through oral histories or artifacts themselves. We are very excited to house and display the legacy of such an important figure in the racing industry and really cannot express in words how much it means to the have the Lukas collection at the Kentucky Derby Museum."
