The late Ron Turcotte, a master of his craft who rode Secretariat to Triple Crown glory more than 50 years ago, grew up as one of 14 children in the small lumberjack town of Drummond, New Brunswick.

Four other Turcottes – Noel, Rudy, Roger, and Yves – followed their older brother onto North American racetracks and into the winner’s circle. The Turcottes: The Remarkable Story of a Horse Racing Dynasty is the story of this family’s journey from their little corner of the woods to the top of the Thoroughbred racing world. Each Turcotte found outstanding success, collectively winning a staggering 8,251 races for purse earnings just shy of $60 million, but the unlikely triumph of one of horse racing’s most talented families was not without tragedy.  

Drawing upon over 30 years of reporting and interviews, journalist and Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award finalist Curtis Stock takes readers on an unforgettable ride with The Turcottes. Stock is a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee and 11-time Sovereign Award-winning writer for best Thoroughbred story of the year.
