The world of the racetrack and all its characters is the latest fertile ground for David Milch to explore on HBO.

HBO's programming chieftain Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming announced that "Luck" will showcase horse racing – the owners, gamblers, jockeys and diverse gaming industry players. The location is the Santa Anita Park and other Los Angeles locations.
"Michael Mann delivered a pilot from David Milch’s brilliant script that took our breath away,” notes Lombardo. “We are truly excited that these two artists, and our extraordinary cast headed by Dustin Hoffman, will be bringing Luck to life.”
The players are Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Farina, John Ortiz, Kevin Dunn, Richard Kind, Jason Gedrick, Ritchie Coster, Ian Hart, Tom Payne, Kerry Condon, Gary Stevens and Nick Nolte. Jill Hennessy guest stars.
