Remembering ‘The Coach’: The Late D. Wayne Lukas Touched Many Lives in Horse Racing and Beyond

At the end of the year, it is typical to remember those we have lost. This was a difficult year in horse racing with the loss of legendary Hall of Fame trainer D.

Reflections on a Meaningful and Rewarding Experience at Global Symposium on Racing

Attending the Global Symposium on Racing was one of the most meaningful and rewarding academic and professional experiences of my time in the University of Arizona’s Race Track Industry Program (RTIP). The Symposium brought together leading experts, regulators, industry professionals, and students from across the horse racing industry, providing a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world application.
