The Turcottes: The Remarkable Story of a Horse Racing Dynasty
The underdog story of the legendary family.
With 8,251 races won and close to 60 million dollars in purse earnings, the name Turcotte meant one thing in thoroughbred racing: winning. The unlikely triumph of one of horse racing’s greatest families was not without tragedy. Read the remarkable story in The Turcottes by sports writer Curtis Stock.
