Kevin Attard almost walked away. Away from the horses, the racetrack, and the sport he loved the most.
His successful father, Tino, and uncles Sid and jockey Larry, were making a solid living in horse racing, but Kevin’s young career as a trainer, which had started well, had stalled.
In his third year, he won three races. The next year, 2004, he had four wins and purse earnings of just $55,000, a paltry $1,400 per starter.
