HBO pull plug on Horse Racing drama.
Quote:
HBO has pulled the plug on its big budget horse racing drama Luck, starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, following the deaths of three horses and criticism from animal rights' campaigners.
The broadcaster said it was with heartbreak that it was cancelling all future production on the show, produced by Transformers director Michael Bay, which also stars Dennis Farina and airs in the UK on Sky Atlantic.
The announcement on Wednesday came a day after filming of the second series was suspended after the death of a third animal on the production.
The horse suffered a head injury when it reared and fell back while it was being led to a stable.
Two horses were hurt and subsequently put down during the filming of the first series.
