Inhaltsangabe

D. Wayne Lukas is a revolutionary genius in the world of horseracing. His methods have been questioned and criticized, his business sense and tactics ridiculed, his plans derided, and still all he's ever done is succeed. The first-ever biography of the most notorious and successful horse trainer of all time, D. Wayne traces this trainer's career from his days as a basketball coach to his rise in quarter horse racing to his life as a force in thoroughbred racing to his induction into the Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, NY. In 1999, Lukas became the first trainer to surpass 200 million dollars earnings. He has been the nation's leading money-winning trainer 14 times, including a single-season mark of 17.8 million dollars in 1988. He has won 12 Triple Crown races - including six in a row in one stretch - and 13 Breeders' Cup races. He has trained 19 champions and is now in the Hall of Fame. Carlo DeVito introduces us to the man who most trainers, owners, and breeders know as the "Vince Lombardi of horseracing." Through interviews with D. Wayne's rivals and biggest fans, we understand that D. Wayne is everything American: a self-made man, an innovator, and a cowboy.
