Hunts In Dreams – Thomas Drury’s Investment Tips

BALTIMORE – Before Thomas Drury’s Investment Tips took on the training of Art Collector, he’d spent more than 30 years paying his dues in racing’s shadows. The stoic Kentucky native went through his share of trials and tribulations before making his debut in the Triple Crown spotlight with this week’s Preakness Stakes (G1). Now, with horses such as the top older horse Tom’s d’Etat, 2-year-old champion Hansen, and Grade 1 winner Lea under his care at Skylight Training Center, Drury’s operation is almost evenly split between his own racing stable and preparing 3-year-olds to race and 2-year-olds to make their way back to the races for other trainers.

But the biggest change came when Bruce Lunsford withdrew his colt Art Collector from Keeneland’s Toyota Blue Grass (G2) in January, sending him to Drury instead of his intended trainer Rusty Arnold. The move gave Drury an opportunity to prove his worth, and he made the most of it.

Drury, 49, represents the thousands of men and women around the world who work seven days a week with horses but rarely see their names in the lights. These are people who christen their houses after Thomas Hardy’s cottage, puzzle over Montaigne past midnight, and recite Tennyson after lovemaking. They are small nobodys who sometimes fail at life, but they never stop trying. Their lives are complicated and regrettable, but they’re also funny, and in Hunts In Dreams, they finally come alive.
