'Life’s Elusive Horizon ... an unholy trinity' is the conclusion to author Rob HIlliard’s 'Cutter/Wellington trilogy,' a saga of two competing families in the world of thoroughbred racing that takes place in the 1980s. TJ Cutter III is a legacy alumnus of the University of Virginia who aspired to a career in the diplomatic corps, but took over his family’s Leesburg, VA, horse farm upon the untimely death of his father. Beauregard Wellington is the first of his family to not participate in politics, his grandfather having been a long-time U.S. Senator while his daddy spent two terms as Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Taking over his family’s horse farm after serving an internship with a major breeding business in Florida, Beau wrote his own success story running the Lexington spread, which lay in the heart of thoroughbred country.The unfolding drama involves interactions between these two equine-industry elites and gradually envelops other members of their families as well as a growing number of business associates and acquaintances. Mayhem, ranging from financial scheming, business power plays and illicit sexual encounters to brushes with the underworld, acts of terrorism and murder, compel readers to tackle the author’s tale as quickly as Secretariat captured the Belmont Stakes on his way to the Triple Crown.
