Kenny McPeek is as close to a Renaissance man as horse racing has to offer. He has amassed a real estate portfolio that stretches from Kentucky and Florida to this heavenly corner of upstate New York. McPeek has more than a dozen horses that have made millions of dollars on the racetrack, but his masterpiece is Curlin. He bought Curlin for $57,000, and the horse went on to earn more than $10.5 million on the track and was twice named Horse of the Year. On Saturday, in the 155th running of the Travers Stakes, McPeek will try something as daring as it is old school.
