A protégé of former trainer Frank Brothers, Drury won his first race as a trainer in 1991 and built up a reputation on the Kentucky circuit for handling horses and caring for them during layoffs between races.

A protégé of former trainer Frank Brothers, Drury won his first race as a trainer in 1991 and built up a reputation on the Kentucky circuit for handling horses and caring for them during layoffs between races. He amassed a good record at tracks in Kentucky and Indiana through the years, but received a big break in 2020 when owner Bruce Lunsford transferred Art Collector to him over the winter. Drury capitalized on that good fortune as the colt developed into a leading divisional contender over the spring and summer in advance of the Kentucky Derby, which was delayed until September due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Drury won his first stakes race in 2008 with Model’s Memo. Art Collector is Drury’s first graded stakes winner.
