Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas will sign copies of a book about his life and career–'Sermon on the Mount'–at Gulfstream Park Friday, the eve of this year's GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational. In the $9-million event, the 83-year-old will be represented by Calumet Farm's Grade 1-placed millionaire Bravazo (Awesome Again), winner of the GII Risen Star S. and runner-up in both the GI Preakness S. and GI Clark last season.
Lukas will be available beginning at 2 p.m. in the breezeway to sign the 200-page collection of quotes, pictures and short stories, chronicling the life of the legendary horseman. Written and compiled by Lukas and Christina Bossinakis, the foreword was penned by NFL Hall of Fame coach and longtime Thoroughbred owner Bill Parcells. Copies of the book will be available for sale for $40 each.
Lukas, who has won 4,808 races and over $279 million in purses through his career to date, is responsible for 26 Eclipse Award champions; 14 Triple Crown victories and 20 Breeders' Cup wins.
