Destin Heath is a native of Norman, Oklahoma. From an early age, his dream was to train Thoroughbreds in Kentucky. He spent his youth riding and showing horses in both the English and Western disciplines. He began working with racehorses at the age of sixteen, galloping and breaking babies.

Heath began working for Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas in 2008. While attending college, he continued to pursue his dream of joining the Thoroughbred industry while working as an exercise rider and assistant trainer for Tom Drury, Jr.

Heath received a bachelor’s degree in equine business administration with a minor in management from the University of Louisville in 2012. He is excited about the opportunity to continue expanding his knowledge base at a world-class operation like WinStar Farms.
