Kentucky HBPA College Day Scholarship Race Doubled to Honor Wayne Lukas

[Wandering Eyes]

Sunday's Kentucky HBPA College Day, presented by Ellis Park, is highlighted by the last race scholarship, which has been doubled to $2,000 in honor of the late Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas, who passed away June 28. Awarded by the Kentucky Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association, the scholarship benefits eligible industry participants or their children who are full-time college students.

The D. Wayne Lukas Memorial scholarship will be given via drawing to an industry participant or their child enrolled in college full-time for the summer or upcoming fall term. Full-time students involved in the Thoroughbred industry as trainers, owners, jockeys, exercise riders, backstretch help, blacksmiths, veterinarians, vendors etc. or their college-enrolled children are eligible.

Following Ellis Park's 10th race on Sunday's racing program, a total of 30 prizes will be awarded. There will be one drawing apiece for a $1,000 scholarship (a check made out to the winner), an iPad Mini/airPods package and a $150 Amazon gift card about 15 minutes before each of the first nine races. The prizes for the 10th race are restricted to those connected to the Thoroughbred industry, utilizing a separate set of drawings.

First post is 11:50 a.m. Central. Full-time students can register throughout the afternoon to be eligible for any remaining drawings.
