...late teens, Dancer worked as a groom, mucking out stalls at New York's Roosevelt Raceway, and got himself a cot in the racetrack's tack room to cut expenses. Married at 20, he borrowed $250 from his bride to buy a crippled seven-year-old trotter named Candor that he patiently nursed back to health and trained on snow-covered bridle paths in New Jersey. Candor repaid him by winning $12,000 in three years, and Dancer built a five-room ranch house at New Egypt...

Feuding at last, the groom chases after them; the two men meet and kill each other.
