Michael Doctrow, a partner at central Pennsylvania-based McNees Wallace & Nurick, turned a relationship with a car dealer into a niche practice representing owners of some of the fastest horses in the country.

Doctrow and his firm have represented a number of thoroughbreds that have made a bid for the American Triple Crown. None had been successful until June 9, when his 2018 hopeful, Justify, won the Belmont Stakes. Doctrow was in Florida for the weekend, unable to see the race in person, but he checked into a local sports bar to watch.
