D. Wayne Lukas, at 88, won his 15th Triple Crown race, this time with “Seize the Grey,” 44 years after his first Triple Crown. Wayne started out as a high-school basketball coach, but once he got involved with professional horse racing as a trainer, he never looked back. He went from training horses for quarter horse racing to thoroughbred racing, succeeding where many others had not. To this day, Wayne gets up at 3:30 in the morning to get to the barn and watch his horses train every day. Retire? That is the last thing on this horse-lover’s mind.
