ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas to Deliver Keynote at National HBPA Conference
D. Wayne Lukas — the most transformative horse trainer in the modern era — will be the keynote speaker at the National HBPA’s annual conference in March in Hot Springs, Ark.
“When we seek out our keynote speaker, we look for inspiration and passion,” said Eric Hamelback, chief executive officer of the National Horsemen’s Benevolent & Protective Association. “Not only do we get that in spades with D. Wayne Lukas, but his overall legacy is unmatched in horse racing.
“Yet it’s not only that Wayne has impacted so many aspects of racing with his well-known accomplishments and vision. He also has been an extraordinary ambassador for our industry in so many unpublicized and behind-the-scenes ways. There’s no telling how many little kids will become diehard racing enthusiasts because D. Wayne invited them into the winner’s circle after one of his victories.”
Lukas will address the conference on March 2, the first full day of the HBPA conference at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in Hot Springs, Ark. Details on registration and agenda will be available soon. The conference, staged in Oaklawn’s new hotel overlooking the track’s first turn, kicks off March 1 with a cocktail reception at the track, with program sessions March 2, 3 and the morning of March 4, followed by an afternoon at the races. The HBPA’s full board convenes March 5 to wrap up the event.
