When two young Brooklyn butchers decide to take on the aristocracy of American thoroughbred racing in the 1870s, they let loose a storm of changes. Despised by some, adored by others, Phil and Mike Dwyer and their many champion thoroughbreds change American horse racing history forever. Part One of this true story charts the extraordinary rise of the Brooklyn Stable through ten racing seasons, taking the reader up to the height of their newfound fame and fortune in 1883.
