Luck is an American television series created by David Milch for HBO. Dustin Hoffman stars as Chester "Ace" Bernstein, a lifelong mobster who has just been released from a three-year prison sentence. His long-time friend and driver Gus (Dennis Farina) has become the owner of "Pint of Plain," a promising Irish racehorse. Ace immediately begins making plans to take control of the Santa Anita racetrack in Los Angeles, while simultaneously plotting revenge against the ones he holds responsible for sending him to prison. David Milch serves as executive producer alongside Michael Mann and Carolyn Strauss. A special preview of the pilot was shown on December 11, 2011, with the series officially beginning on January 29, 2012. On March 14, 2012, the show was canceled by HBO after three horses died during production. However, the remaining episodes of the first season will still air.[1]
