This year, we are excited to announce that our Keynote Speaker is the very accomplished horse trainer D. Wayne Lukas.

Fascinated with horses at a young age, Lukas started training Quarter Horses in the 1960s, eventually being inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2007.

Moving to Thoroughbreds full-time in the 1970s, Lukas has won 14 Triple Crown races, 20 Breeders’ Cup races and numerous Eclipse Awards recognizing his record 26 champion Thoroughbreds.

He was inducted into Thoroughbred racing’s Hall of Fame in 1999 and is still an active trainer.

The horse racing industry, much like the asphalt industry, is so integral to Kentucky's history. We can't wait to learn more about D. Wayne Lukas' Road to the Derby.

Also, The Plantmix Asphalt Industry of Kentucky will be hosting its second Women of Asphalt Luncheon. 

This luncheon will take place on Thursday, March 5th, in conjunction with the Winter Training School. 

We are developing an engaging event with a time for networking and a keynote speaker. We want to encourage men and women of all levels within your company to attend!

Please note - attendance of the luncheon is open to anyone within our industry and optional to Winter Training School attendees.

For WTS attendees, a buffet lunch with no program will also be offered on the second level of the Marriott.
