CALE: There used to be horses
in that barn.

At least, that's what
my grandfather says.

We're probably
the only horse farm
in Lexington, Kentucky,

that doesn't have one horse.

Not one.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

BEN: It might rain.

Pat said it'd be
a good day for me to
come down to the diner.

BEN: Yeah, well...

LILLY: Just be breakfast
and lunch, three days a week.

BEN: So if you're working
down at the diner,

she comes home
from school to nobody,
or what?

Well, Pop lives
right next door.

I mean, I know you two
don't talk much,

but he and Cale
get along real well...

And...
And what?

You know you've been
promising her for months

that you would take her
to work with you.

And I will. I will, Lil,
but not today, honey.
I got a big race.

LILLY: Well, what am I
supposed to tell her?

BEN: I don't know,
you tell her
I was running late

and I just didn't have time
to wait for her.

You tell her.

Honey, I'm going to work.

(ENGINE STARTING)

All right, get in.
I don't wanna be late.

There you go.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Fifty-eight and one.

(MUFFLED VOICE OVER RADIO)

All right, send Sonya.
Don't let her out,

I just wanna
watch her action.

(RESPONSE OVER RADIO)

(HORSE NEIGHS)

I like him.,

Her.

I like her too.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

BALON: Can I get
a bucket of multigrain
in stall number three, please?

Good morning, sir.
Good morning.

Balon, you remember Cale?

Sure. She doesn't
come around anymore.

Wow, honey,
you've gotten so big.

Senorita, buenos dias.

BEN: Eddie,
let's take a look
at Goliath's Boy.

That means good morning.
Morning.

He's got legs like steel.
Take him in.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
What do you got there?
You got some candy?

(SONYA WHINNYING)
BALON: Hey, Sonya.
There you go, Sonya.

Oh, yeah.
That's Sonya.

She likes candy.

Sonya likes Twizzlers?
Yeah.

Well, who's this?

Got a new jockey?

Manny, this
is my daughter Cale.

Oh, hey.

Manolin Vallarta.

The greatest
jockey in the world.

Fattest jockey
in the world.
(GIGGLES)

Fat? Chacho,
I'm too tall to race.

Look at you, man.
Look at these clothes.
This is a barn, not a disco.

(MANNY SPEAKS SPANISH)

Ooh!

He likes the way I dress.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Now, you see your daddy?

You see how he's
feeling the legs?
You see that?

Yeah, well, we just
wanna make sure the horse
is sound and healthy.

Your daddy always say
you listen to a horse,
he'll tell you how he feels.

Okay. Thanks, Mark.

Okay, come on.

ANNOUNCER: We are calling
for trainer Gary Mandela.

Gary Mandela,
please contact
the office room.

BEN: Oh, boy,
I'll tell you,
I don't know.

The leg feels fine,
but she keeps,
she keeps jumping at that.

She wants to get
back in her stall.

(BALON SPEAKING SPANISH)

She never does this, ever.
Is she gonna race today?

Of course
she's gonna race today.

Hello, Mr. Palmer.

Nice to see you.
Wasn't sure you
were coming today.

I don't believe
I've ever met...

Prince Tariq Abal.

Well, well, Sonya
is just as pretty
as she is fast.

Sir, I'll meet you at our box
after I talk with my staff.

All right,
what's the story here?

Well, she's acting funny

and some heat in that
right front this morning.

I'm not sure she wants
to run today.

I don't feel any heat
in that leg,
what'd the vet say?

Well, the vet
and the paddock judge,
both took at a look at her,

they passed her
as fine, but...

Well, good.
That's all that matters.

Sir, I'm just saying I don't
think she should go today.

Prince Tariq flew
his personal 737
8,000 miles for what?

I don't know, to win the
Jansen Handicap, I guess.

To beat his brother Sadir.

Tariq only flies in
when he can see
one of his horses

run against one
of his brother's horses.

Palmer, we're messing
with a champion
two-year-old here

who's won
her first two races
this year.

Well, this'll make three.

She's a little star,
no doubt about it.

She's a lot more
than a star, Everett.

Look, I'm just
listening to the horse.

She's telling me she could
do better with some rest.

Well, you'd do better
by listening to me.

Look, she's a nice horse.

But I've spent
millions of dollars

developing a stable of horses
for Prince Tariq

so that he can
beat his brother.

Now, I know
you got big plans,

but just do your job.

Okay?

Daily maintenance,

overseeing the workouts,
your job.

Picking her races,
my job.

Are we good?

Yeah, we're good.
Good.

She's the morning-line
favorite.

Let's go.

Tell one of the Mexicans
walk her around
to settle her.

Okay, Mark.

You heard the boss.
Let's go.

(FANFARE PLAYING)

ANNOUNCER:
The Jansen Handicap
now coming onto the track.

In at number two,
Ocean Blend carrying
two pounds over weight...

You own a horse, sweetie?

This is just for owners.

Cale. Cale.

Hey!
Hey!

See her, honey?
Look at that.
Number five, right there.

That's our girl.

CALE: Think she'll win?

I got $10 that says
she's going to win. Whoo!
(LAUGHING)

ANNOUNCER: From the Wishman
Stables, here's Rapid Cat.

Dark Fire on one
of the outside gates.

(HORSES NEIGHING)

Here we go, baby.

(BELL RINGING)

ANNOUNCER:
And away they go.

(ALL CHEERING)

Easy. Nice and easy now.

MANNY: Yeah,
yeah, she's fourth!
Come on, sweetheart.

Yeah.
Go, Sonya!

Well, maybe this is
your day, honey. Come on.

Bring it home, baby.

Come on, Sonya.

(SONYA SQUEALING)

(CROWD GASPING)

(ANNOUNCEMENT OVER PA)

(WHINNYING)

Oh, Manny.

Hold her down, man.
It's okay. I got it here.

VET: Cannon bone.
Look, I'm sorry, Ben,
we got to put her down.

She all right?

Manolin, Eddie...
Whoa!

(WHINNIES)
Easy, girl. Easy.
Come on. It's okay.

Not here, not here.
Take her back to her stall,
but not here.

Come on.
BEN: Attagirl.

(SONYA WHINNYING)

Ben, I can't put her down
until you sign this.

No, Dan, I want to
get some X-rays taken.

Cale, come here.
Come on.
Stay out of the way.

What's the point, Ben?
She's finished.

Easy!
(SONYA NEIGHS)

I do not believe this.
I told him.

What? What'd you tell me?

I warned you
she wasn't right.

You put the saddle on her.
What? Wait a minute.

Look, I understand, it's sad
when these things happen
in the racing business.

Sad?
Yeah, sad.

This is an athlete.

Well, then you just
knowingly killed
a $750,000 athlete.

Fellas, we need
to make a move here.

PALMER: Tell me.
It's her cannon bone,
Mr. Palmer.

You pushed her. She'd have
run in the Breeders' Cup.
She was special.

Well, now she got
a broken leg and it's over,
so let it go.

You don't care about anybody,
do you? Horses or people.

Well, in fact, I do, Ben.

That's why I'm giving you
the opportunity
to find a new job.

You firing me?
That's right.

And you can
take your Mexicans with you.

They're men, Palmer.
They got names.

You owe me money.

You'll get your check
first of the month
like everybody else.

No, you pay me now.
$9,000 for the last
three months.

Here's six.

Six. Take it or leave it.

I'll leave it.
We agreed on nine,
you're three short.

You wait for a check.
I'm not waiting
for a check...

(WHINNYING LOUDLY)
For God's sake, would you
please put that horse down!

BEN: Dan, Dan, Dan, wait.

I'll take the 6,000
and the horse.

$6,000 and a dead horse
and I never have to
hear from you again?

That's right.
PALMER: Take your money.

Sedate her, Dan.
Put her down heavy
for the night.

PALMER: It'll cost you $400
just to dispose of her body.

BEN: Balon, hook up
a trailer, would you?

You've got a hard head,
Ben, just like your old man.

Cale, go on out
to the truck.

Living in that horse farm
with no horses.

Balon... Manny, take her
out to the truck, please.
PALMER: Delusional.

It's like a disease
with you Cranes.

PALMER: Gotta get out of here
before it rubs off on you.

(SONYA WHINNYING)

BEN: Manny.
Yeah.

Go get the old man.
Tell him it's an emergency.

All right, Balon,
need the heavy winch

and the tow and easy sling
to get her in this stall.

BALON: Okay, where's that?
BEN: It's in
the back stall there.

BALON: Oh, okay, I got it.

Where have you been? God,
I've been so worried. Honey.

What's going on?
I had a horse go down.

Oh, my God.

Need anything else, boss?
Yeah, give Balon a hand
back there, will you?

BALON: Manny?
Balon.

POP: What can you geniuses
be calling an emergency
at night in the rain?

This about a horse?

Good night.

I never ask you
for anything.

That's right.

I haven't heard from you
in months.

That's why your business
is so great.

I got a filly in there with
a broken cannon bone, Pop.

Thoroughbred?

Racer?

Put her down.

You had a horse
with a shattered
cannon bone once.

You harnessed it up
somehow so it couldn't move,

the leg healed
and that horse was fine.

That was a long time ago.

You were just
a little boy, Benjamin.

But I remember it.
It worked.

He was an old lead pony.

Healed just enough
to walk around
for a few more years

before I finally
put him down.

Which is what you'd do
if you had any sense at all.

Let's get her in the stall.

Cale.

I'm going to need
to help them, Mom.

Cale, I'm going to spend
the night with her.

You go on inside
with mom now.

All right.
BALON: Right up there.

Yep, get up
on higher.
All right, Manny?

BEN: You get up
to the big winch?
BALON: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's hook it up.
Come on.

(EXHALES)

DOCTOR: Was it a hard fall?

Hard enough.

She didn't get
bumped or anything.
She just went down.

DOCTOR: That's the one
from the track.
And my X-rays confirm it.

It's a spiral fracture
of the cannon bone.

BEN: But it is non-displaced.

She'll never race again?

No, honey.
But she might walk again.

There's a chance.
It's up to her.

Try and keep her calm.
Stable rest.

That cast I put
on her should hold.

We're gonna go
really easy on her, Doc.

DOCTOR: Let's stay
close on this.
BEN: You got it.

All right, let's pull
all the harness stuff.

Put the straps, pulley
in the tack room.

Ben, when Mr. Palmer
fired you, us yesterday,
well...

Well, we all
don't have no jobs.
(SIGHS)

I'm sorry, guys.
I forgot. Here.

There's 1,000 each.

What's wrong?

Well, we train
racehorses, right?

And she's not going
to race no more, so...

So why we're gonna hang around
to help you get a broken
racehorse to walk?

(BOTH WHISPERING)

You know who this horse
was sired by?

Dreamcatcher.

You know who that was?

Pop, who was Dreamcatcher?

Won the Dubai World Cup
in '96.

Won seven of
11 graded stakes and
over three million dollars.

We get her healed
enough to breed her
to a decent stud,

sell that yearling for...
I don't know, maybe...

If it's a colt
with good confirmation,
maybe 300.

BEN: $300,000.

You two be interested
in a piece of $300,000?

MANNY: (CHUCKLING)
Yeah.

How about it, Pop?

BALON: Okay,
looks good to me.
(CHAINS RATTLING)

All done.

BEN: Take it up.

Got it?

(NEIGHING)

Good girl, good Sonya.

MANNY: Easy, easy, girl.

Easy, girl.

Come on.

(SONYA NEIGHS)

One, two, three.

KID: Bye, Cale!

One, two, three!

Okay, that's good.
That's good, okay.

BALON: She's great.

MANNY: She can't breathe?
BALON: She's okay.

(SONYA SNORTS)

(GASPS)

(WHINNYING)

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You all right?

Fine.
Huh? You okay?

She kick you?

BALON: Come on.
It's okay, honey.

How is she?

She's okay.

What were you doing?
She's not a pet, Cale.

She's what I do for work now,
so you're gonna have to
leave her be, all right?

CALE: Sorry.

You sure
you're all right?

Fine.

(SNIFFING)

(CHOMPS)

(SONYA SNORTS)

(WHINNYING)

LILLY: Here you go.
Thank you.

You make all that money
and get to eat
as much pie as you want?

(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, you can't
find a better job.

Manny's gonna
take me to watch him
ride a racehorse.

And then tonight,
I'm gonna muck out
Sonya's stall.

I'm thinking
about painting it.

Nice to have
a horse, huh?

Especially after dad said,

"There will never be
another horse on this farm
as long as I live."

Did Pop tell you that?

Don't you listen
to everything Pop says.

There's two sides
to every story.

Pop said dad's
the best horseman.

Says he has a gift.

Well, that's true.

We all know
that's true.

CALE: Hey.

Hello.

Whoa, Zephyr.
Whoa, boy.

Thanks, Mike.

What'd you think
about that?
That was fast.

Nice boots.

Ah! Thank you.

I exercise a couple
of horses for a few owners.

Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah.

You ever ride in races?

Couple of times I did.

But no more.

Why?

Uh...

I have bad dreams.

Three years ago
I got my first real race.

I ran fifth.

What was the name
of the horse?

Downtown Swing.

It was amazing.

Did you ever
ride him again?

Yeah. In our second race,
I was flying into
that first turn.

And then I looked
under my arm to see
if I was clear on the rail.

When I looked back up,
there was a horse
swerving into me.

My left foot came
out of the iron,
I fell to the ground

and I got run over
by three horses.

Broke both shoulders,
sternum,

four ribs,
punctured a lung.

You never raced again.

(SIGHS)

You know, at night,
when I fall asleep,

I dream I'm in a big race
on a very fast horse.

And I look to my left foot,
it slips out of the iron
and I begin to fall.

But before I hit the ground,
I wake up.

But you still
exercise racehorses.

Yeah. Just...

It's just me and the horse

alone on the track.

Free. No one
to bother us.

It's much better that way.

I'm sorry about
your nightmares, Manny.

It's okay.

It's God's way of telling me
no more racing.

(SONYA WHINNYING)

(CHOMPS)

Good night.
(SNORTS)

From mom.

I'm good.
Just put it down there.

Cale?

Will you grab
that roll of wire
underneath the fence there?

Yeah.

You can just hang
on to it there.
Okay.

Pop said this farm
used to be beautiful.

This farm was beautiful.

Two hundred acres.
One of the nicest
in Versailles.

See all that
over there?
Yeah.

Well, that was ours.

Pop's owned some
really nice race mares.

Big, beautiful female horses.

Waveland, Blue Jezebel
and Miss Moffet.

That's right.

Pop said he built
those stalls and
filled them with horses.

Yeah, he made
a good living
selling yearlings.

But you wanted to
keep the yearlings
and race them, right?

Well, it got kind of hard

watching horses
born on this farm

go on to win big races
for somebody else.

So you got Pop to keep
some of the yearlings
so you could train, race them.

You don't just
keep them, Cale.
They're not free.

I'm going to
brush down Sonya.

Cale Crane.

Yes, ma'am?

Are you working
on your creative
writing assignment?

Yes, ma'am.

What's your story about?

It's about a king
and his castle

and a magic horse.

(NEIGHING)

BEN: Easy.

Bye.

She can stand on it.
Not for long,
but she can stand on it.

I'll run a couple more tests
in the morning, Ben,

but I don't see any reason
she can't breed.
She looks good.

You helped her, Cale.
She's gonna have
a baby. Yeah!

I'll see you Friday.

Well, I'm gonna
call in a favor.

(WHISPERING)
Go, Cale.

Go.
(BLOWING RASPBERRY)

So where are you going?

Gonna go see
an old friend.

About a stud for Sonya?

Yeah. About a stud.

You wanna come?

Yeah.

I'll come.

Fusaichi Pegasus.
He won the Kentucky Derby.

Do you see him?
That's Fusaichi.

Giant's Causeway.

Johannesburg. He won
the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

You learn all that
from Pop, too?

He's a beautiful horse.

Hey, Bill.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.
This is my daughter, Cale.

CALE: Hi.
Nice to meet you, Cale.

Nice to meet you, too.

So, Ben, you call me
two months ago
telling me

you got this race mare,
needs to be covered,
you need a favor

and then I don't
hear from you.

Well, it's been
a pretty long road
with that filly, Bill,

but she's ready to go now.

So you still gonna be
able to help me out here?

Right over here.

All right,
ladies and gentlemen,

are you ready for
the world's greatest stud?

Come on, Todd.
Bring him on out.

That's not...

What is that?
BILL: This here's
Thunder Pants.

Honey, Thunder Pants
is a teaser pony.

He's gonna help
Sonya get ready to

go into the breeding
shed with a stallion.

Thanks, Bill.

Hey, Cale,
wanna meet the stallion
I picked for you?

(NEIGHING)

Cale, meet Grand Slam.

Grand Slam?

Unbelievable.

So, what do you think?

Well, I think
it's Grand Slam.

Everyone at Ashford
has a lot of respect
for your family.

I explained your situation
and they want to do you
the favor of a lifetime.

Bill, I just...
I don't know
what to say.

Say you'll have
your filly here
first week in May.

You got it.
That week's
the only shot you get.

Okay.
He's booked
till next year.

And you got to send me
half of the 15,000
by the end of the week, and...

That's 15,000?

Well, Grand Slam's
normal stud fee's 200,000.

We're waiving
that completely.
Yeah, I know.

The 15 doesn't even cover
our cost in insurance.

BEN: No, no, Bill,
it's an amazing offer.
I just didn't, you know...

I'm wondering, though,
if maybe I couldn't,
you know,

give you a share
in the foal,

maybe to cover
all the expenses,
whatever they are.

BILL: We just don't do that,
not in a case like this.

Are you saying you
want to call it off?

No, Bill, I just...

Bill, I don't
have the money.

I'm sorry, Ben.
I didn't fully know
your situation...

No, that's okay,
Bill, listen, I really
appreciate the try.

I'm gonna call.
All right? Thanks.

Let's go, honey.

POP: I've never seen
Grand Slam up close.

CALE: He's got
muscles everywhere.

What'd he say?

He's a horse.

I know. What'd he say?

"I am a great champion."

"When I ran
the ground shook,

"the sky opened
and mere mortals parted."

"The way to victory.

"And I met my owner
in the winner's circle."

"Where he put a blanket
of flowers on my back."

(CHUCKLES)
You remembered that?

Sport of kings,
you know that?

They call horse racing
the sport of kings.

So when are you
gonna take me to the races?

I don't go anymore.
Haven't been in years.

So I can take the Racing Form
and The Blood-Horse,
right?

Your dad doesn't want me
teaching you about horses.

So I should leave them?

You should stuff them
under your shirt.

Okay.

Cale, in that cabinet
above the sink...

Yeah.

...is there a coffee can?

Mmm-hmm.

Bring it to your dad,
would you?
Sure.

Good night.
Good night.

Pop wanted me
to give this to you.
Thanks, hon.

I'm eating my dessert
in the barn.
All righty.

(SIGHS)

BEN: What the hell
is this?
POP: Coffee can.

You expect me to use it?
It's the only flavor I got.

(CHUCKLES)
You're unbelievable.
There's almost $20,000 there.

You watched me sell
this farm off bit by bit
till there was nothing left.

Why are you doing this?

Damned if I know.

Breed the horse, Ben.

Picking up that filly
was the gutsiest thing
I've seen you do in years.

Don't talk to me
about guts.

I took the biggest swing
I could and I struck out.

And you gave up.
I'm broke, Pop!

What do you expect me to do?
I expect you
to take the money,

trust your instincts
and breed the horse.

You told me
to put her down.

But you didn't, did you?

'Cause you're
a horseman.
Oh, don't blow smoke...

Are you gonna
spend your life

shoveling horse squat
for sheiks?

Or are you gonna get
back in the game?

Don't think I don't know
what's going on here
with you and Cale.

It's in her blood, Ben.

Cale's a beautiful kid.

And I don't want
this life for her,

so stop filling her head
with horse stories.

Horse stories
are all I got.

Good, then keep them
to yourself.

I'll pay you back
when the foal sells.

(SLAMS DOOR)

Any chance you'll
keep the foal?

Race him or her?

No, we're gonna
sell the foal,

but still have Sonador.

Sonador?

Yeah. It's her full name.
Sonador.

(WHISPERS)
Sonador.

I think it's Spanish.

Spanish for "dreamer."

Good night, Dreamer.

Okay, I got it.

I'm going to Pop's.

Lil, how many days
they give you
down at the diner?

I got Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

But I could take more.

Palmer called around.
Pretty much
shut me out everywhere.

I can't find any work.

I'm gonna have to
take down the sign.

The real estate sign?

(SIGHS)
It's all been sold.

Only land we got
left to sell,
we're sitting on.

Here's the first
letter of foreclosure.

Morning.
DOCTOR: Hello, Cale.

MANNY: Hey, Doc.
Balon. Manny.

BALON: Sonya's gonna
make us some money, huh?

This horse,
she gonna make
a special baby, huh?

Is Ben around?
Yeah, I'm right here.

All right. Just got off
the phone with Bill.

We're back on.
MANNY: Oh, yes!

Gonna breed her
to Grand Slam.
BALON: Ah-ha!

Ben, I've completed
my tests and I've got
some bad news for you.

What?

She's infertile.

She's not gonna have
a baby now?

No, honey, she's never
gonna have babies.

I'm sorry, guys.

I'm sorry, Sonya.

It's okay.

It's almost dawn.

You've been
up all night.

What was I thinking, Lil?
Trying to breed that horse?

Cale loves that horse.

(SNEERS) That's good
'cause that little filly
just ruined us.

That little filly
is the best thing that's
ever happened around here.

Oh, come on, Lil.

Since she's been
in that barn,
we have a family.

For the first time
in years.

Look, I'll work seven days
a week at the diner

if it means that
you'll spend time
with your daughter.

Can't you see how much
she wants to be with you?

And I know that
your dad disappointed you,

but that does not mean
that you have to
disappoint her.

It's nothing
to do with my father...

No, It's everything
to do with your father.

You're wrong.
The truth is,

if Cale hadn't
been with me that night

I'd have left that horse
on the track

and let them
put the horse down.

And I'd still
have my job.

Cale, I...

(SLAMS DOOR SHUT)

Cale?

(KNOCKING)
Come on, Cale.

Honey, can I come in?

Come on, let's just
give her some time.

LILLY: Cale?
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Come on, honey.
Open the door. Please.

Honey, come on.
She'll come downstairs
when she's ready.

We're gonna run away.

(SNIFFLES)

We're gonna run far away.

There you go.

We're just gonna go
for a little walk.

Cale...

(NEIGHING)

Stop, Sonya!

Sonya, stop!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Hang on, Cale.

Cale!

Dad, she won't stop!

I can't make her stop!

(GRUNTING)

Cale, hang on!

Please...

Cale! Cale!

Jump.

Jump!

(BEN GRUNTING)

(CALE SOBBING)
I got you.
I got you.

I got you.

You all right?
You okay?

CALE: Yeah.
BEN: Huh?

I got you, sweetie.

I got you.

BALON: Stop the car.
Stop the car.
BEN: Go ahead.

Is she okay?
She's all right.

(SIGHING)

Oh!

It's all right, baby.
It's okay.

Are you okay, honey?
Yeah.

Huh?
Yes, I'm okay.

Hey, Ben?

BEN: Yeah.

Ben...
Hey!

How's Cale doing?
She's all right.

She okay?
Yeah. She's...

(SCOFFS) She's fine.
Oh, okay.

Uh, could we
talk to you
for a minute, boss?

Right. How's Sonya?

Uh, she was running
back and forth along
the fence and, uh...

Yeah?

We were following her
in the truck...

Balon, did she
break down?

How bad is she?
MANNY: Well,
in the truck it said

that she's about, uh,
I don't know
a quarter mile.

And, well, she, um...

She was getting
faster and faster.

MANNY: Yeah.
She's looking
pretty strong, sir.

BEN: What are you...

(SCOFFS) You saying
she should race?

(GRUNTING)

You can go ahead
and load her up, Joe.

Mariah's Storm
broke her leg
the same way as Sonya.

Same fracture,
same location.

Who's Mariah's Storm?

She was a great
racehorse.
She sure was.

Made a big comeback, too.

Mmm-hmm. Came back
and beat Serena's Song
in the graded stakes.

When I saw Sonya's X-rays,
I thought I ought to
show them to you, Ben.

That bone is healed.
Oh, yeah.
That leg's good.

Now, getting her back
into racing shape,
that's up to you.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot, Doc.

Bye.
Bye-bye.

Well, she's not
favoring that leg.

How's she look?

(SIGHING)
She looks big.

Big as in strong?

No, big as in fat.

That's mean.

That's mean.
You shouldn't say that.

Must've been eating
too many popsicles.

(CHUCKLING) What?
What?

(CHUCKLING) You didn't know
I knew about that,
did you?

37 and two.
37 two.

36.

(BEEPS)

What do you think?

Well, in five weeks,

best she's done is
three furlongs in 37 seconds.

Not fast enough to
win much, is it?

Maybe a cheap claimer
at Bluegrass Downs.

She was a graded
stakes horse.

Now she's a claimer.

It might be a good idea
to run her in one.

See if she perks up
in a real race.

Yeah, I've been
thinking about that.

You don't think anybody
would claim her, do you?

Would you buy a horse
that broke its leg?

You know, she might win.

Could be easy money.

(BELL RINGING)

ANNOUNCER:
And away they go. Came away
to a beautiful start.

And Super 35 from
the extreme outside.

Coming from behind is Sonador.

Major Easy, down along
the inside, is the one
showing the best speed.

Her leg looks
pretty good.
Yeah.

ANNOUNCER: They make their
way around the first turn
and head onto...

Come on, Sonya.
Come on, Sonador!

Every step.
Come on. Come on.
You see her?

ANNOUNCER:
Back in fourth
in this race, Sonador.

And Sonador's now on
the move on the outside.

Then we have back in fifth,
All For Nothing.

Come on, baby.

Come on, Mike,
change your lead now.

(ANNOUNCER CONTINUES
INDISTINCTLY)

Go!
Come on, girl.

On the inside comes
Obvious Favorite.

Come on, Sonya,
only three furlongs
to go now.

(SCREAMS)
She's coming up!

Major Easy and
Obvious Favorite
are nose to nose.

Show her the stick now.
Get her out of there.

Come on, girl!
Whoo!

ANNOUNCER: Major Easy
and Obvious Favorite come
to the wire together.

Come on, Sonya.

Major Easy and
Obvious Favorite...

LILY: Third!

Third.
Yeah.

That's great.
(LAUGHING)

(HORSE NEIGHING)

Minute 13 seconds.
Little slow,
but it's the beginning.

You know, if Mike
wouldn't have
been boxed in,

I think she
would've won, sir.

Whoo!
(LAUGHING)

Third place.
So what'd she get?

$1,100.

Sonador.
Ben Crane?
Yeah.

Claim.

What? You got
to be kidding me.

Claimed?

Wait a second.
Hang on a minute.

You said she
wouldn't get claimed.

Cale, listen to me.
What was the tag?

How much did
you get for her?

15,000.

You just sold Sonador.

I don't believe this.

(DOOR OPENS)

Cale...

I wasn't trying
to sell Sonya.

Out of 100 horses
that could have been
claimed tonight,

you know how many
got claimed? Two.

Do you understand
that you got to
claim the horse

before the race is even run?

I just figured
there's no way

anybody'd take a chance
on a filly that had
already broken her leg.

(SIGHING) I guess
there was some chance.

She's gone.

She was a good horse, Cale.
I'm gonna miss her, too.

Please don't treat me
like a little kid.

You were just
trying to get some
of your money back.

I get it, it's business.

That's right, it is.

But I wasn't trying
to sell Sonya, okay?

You lied to me.

You said I'd always
have Sonador. You stood
right there and said it.

You raced her
and she got claimed.

Well, welcome to the world
of horse racing, Cale,

where everything
doesn't end up the
way you want it to.

She wasn't for sale.

Every racehorse
everywhere in the world,

right now, is for sale.

Get that.

She wasn't just
some racehorse.

She was our horse.

(DOOR CREAKS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

I told Pat that
I was gonna work the
dinner shift tonight.

Remember. You said
you could go to Cale's
school for Parents' Night.

8:00. I got it.

All right.

Have a good time.

(DOOR CLOSES)

WOMAN: "My shirt was wet and
it smelled like French toast.

"So even though I threw up,

"I was happy my dad
took me to the firehouse.

"The end."
(ALL LAUGHING)

Thank you,
Miss Richardson.

Thank you.

Ben Crane.
Yes, ma'am.

I'd love you to
read Cale's story.
It's very inventive.

It's right there
in the blue folder.

Come on up.

"Once upon a time
there was a noble king.

"He lived in a beautiful
castle overlooking
green fields.

"An evil storm cast
darkness over his castle.

"And before he knew it,

"dark knights had begun
to take away his kingdom

"one piece at a time.

"But our king was a warrior

"and he knew that
if he could find
his magic horse,

"he could restore the
kingdom to greatness.

"He was not like most kings.
He was quiet and kind.

"Everyone loved the king,
which he may not have known.

"He searched and searched
and finally rescued his horse
from a raging river.

"But by the time
he'd freed his horse,

"his kingdom was gone
and he had given up.

"But the horse
knew better than he.

"The horse took him
over mountain ranges

"and across raging rivers.

"When it finally looked like
they would die, the horse

"asked him to trust him.

"The king didn't know
if the horse had really
spoken to him

"or he just hadn't
had anything to eat
in a few days."

(FAINT CHUCKLING
IN AUDIENCE)

"Not soon after,
the horse attempted
to climb a mountain

"so steep the king was sure
it would be their deaths.

"But the horse
reached the top.

"And at the top,
they found his
kingdom restored.

"All those who loved him,
greeted the king with pie
and coffee.

"By Cale Crane."

Can we keep these?
TEACHER: Yes.

I read your story
tonight at school.

The stupid one
about the king?

Yeah, the stupid king.

(SIGHS)

I made mistakes, Cale.

I'm sorry.

So you like the stupid king?

Yeah, I like the stupid king.

I love the stupid king.

He loves you, too.

Ben, there's some
guy here to see you.

Cale.
Mmm-hmm.

I got Pop a new goat.

Wanna go out there
and pull him out
of the trailer?

Thanks a lot.

(NEIGHS)

Sonya! Sonya!

You came home!

I'm so glad you're back.

How'd you get her back?

Well, it wasn't just me.
Pops helped out, too.

I did?

Let's just say we're both
out of coffee for a while.

All right, I got all
the paperwork here.

Cale, we put 51%
of Sonador in your name.

So from here on out,
you make all the decisions.

Don't worry, I got
you in there at 39%.

Balon, you and Manny
can split the
other 10, huh?

What are you saying, Ben?

Well, I'm saying as soon
as she signs this paper,

the new owner of Sonador
is Cale Crane.

Welcome to
the race business.
Congratulations.

You work for her now.

Ooh.

Okay, boss.

Me?
What's it
gonna be?

Come on.
Let's go, senorita.
Come on.

Do you want me
to warm her up?

And then push her a little
for three furlongs?
Or maybe four?

You just want us
to blow her out
today, right?

Then we can start
to build her up. Huh?

Um...

Yeah. Let's just
blow her out.

(BOILING)

(TIMER TICKING)

BEN: Appreciate it, Bob.

If anything comes up,
you let me know, huh?
All right. Good night.

Hey.

You're up kind of late.

Been reading all
of Sonya's records.

She won over 200,000
in graded company.

Oh, yeah, I know.

Qualifies her for
a lot of stakes races.

I was looking through
the conditions book.

Well, I'm sure you'll
figure something out.

I want you to help me.

I want you to
help me train her.

I see.

(SMACKS LIPS)

Well, you'd be
getting a trainer.

What is it
I'd be getting?

10%.

Twenty.
Fifteen.

Done.
Sign here.

BEN: Straight across.
Not too tight.

That's it.
There you go.

Come on, girl.
Come on.

Get up. Let's go.
(URGES)

(LAUGHS)

(TAPPING GLASS)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

All right,
here we go.
Hello.

Here we go.
Hello.

I want to thank
everyone for coming.

And I've scouted
all of Sonador's
possible races

and I've picked one
I know she can win.

ALL: Really?

BALON:
Isn't that good?
And when is this race?

Saturday, October 29th.
Mmm-hmm.

Gotten the best jockey.
His name is Manolin Vallarta.

Well, I'm Manolin Vallarta.

LILLY: Great idea.

You once told me
you were the greatest
jockey in the world

and I believe you.

(LAUGHS)

Thank you, Cale.
Thank you, but I can't.
I'm not ready.

I'm...

"Fat and I got
to slim down."
Right, Manny?

I'm sure the 29th of October
is the same day

as the running of
the Breeders' Cup
Championship, isn't it?

Biggest day in racing.

Yeah, but Breeders' Cup
is, what, eight races
worth $14 million?

I don't think you want
to run in a race

on the same day
as the Breeders' Cup.

You're right.

We shouldn't run
in a race the same day
as the Breeders' Cup.

That's why we're
going to run in
the Breeders' Cup.

Whoa!
(LAUGHING)

That's ambitious.

BEN: Well, you know,
you can't just

show up with your horse
at the Breeders' Cup, honey,

and say "Hey, I'm here.
I want to run
in the Classic."

It doesn't work
that way.
Be nice if it did.

Do you know what the
selection process is?

BEN: Uh, 14 horses.

First seven are
graded stakes wins,
points, I don't know.

Last seven are...

No. No, I don't, really.

The last seven they base
on overall performance
during the year.

But they do have
the ability to make
a judgment call.

I'm going to take a shot.

It's a long shot,
but why not Sonador?

Why not us?

MANNY:
Why not Sonador?
That's right.

LILLY: Yeah. Whoo!

BALON: Well, we're going
to the Breeders' Cup.

LILLY: Did you really
not know how the last
horses were chosen?

No, I didn't.
Why would I?
I never been there.

But if Sonya
does get in,

I can tell you there's
gonna be huge fees
for a race like that.

So, you know,
this is a pipe dream.

Remember dreams, Ben?

Well, this one's Cale's.
Help her live it.

I want to, Lil. I do.

I'm just saying that
this isn't gonna happen,
that's all, honey.

So what? So what?

Just let it take her
as far as it can.

All right.

(SONYA GALLOPING)

(TIMER BEEPS)

Five furlongs in
101 and change.

(SIGHS)
Well, that's
better, but...

She was breezing, Dad.
Don't worry.

CALE: They're good.

(INDISTINCT MUMBLING)
They look good.

CALE: Mmm.
Hey, guys.

Oh, wow, you guys
got my favorite.

Balon, where's mine?

Yummy.

Looking for agua?

This is an orange?
Mmm-hmm.

It looks like a
painted golf ball.

Manny, run her
a little closer
to the rail.

Don't look at me.
The donuts
are not that good.

Oh, no!
Give me another jelly.

No, here, here.
Backup.

CALE: Oh!
BALON: Are we lucky?

Good girl. Yes. Come on.

Come on, Sonya.

BEN: Cale?

I'm up. I'm up.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

SADIR: But, sir,
my horse, Rapid Cat,

is the son of Storm Cat,
the best sire in the world.

He deserves to run
in the Breeders' Cup.

Mr. Sadir Abal,

Rapid Cat is 18th
on the point list.
We've got 14 spots.

There's not much hope
for Rapid Cat. Next.

(AUDIENCE MURMURING)

Is Mr. Cale Crane here?

I'm Cale Crane.

Why don't you stand up?

(AUDIENCE CHUCKLING)

Miss Cale Crane.

Well, miss,
your horse Sonador

has 20 points and that
puts her 16th on the list.

Though I see that
last year she had
42 points.

Yes, sir.

She'd have that
many points this year,
except she was injured.

She was injured?
Well, do you have a vet's
report says she's sound?

Right here, sir.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

RACE OFFICIAL:
Now, you know there are
14 horses that get to run.

And your horse got a shot.

But to enter this
horse in this race,

there's gonna be
a fee of $40,000.

Did you bring a check?

I mailed it.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

Today.

Well, let's just say that
the panel determines that
Sonador belongs in this race.

Now, there's another
$80,000 in fees

that's gonna be due
on October 26th.

You prepared for that?

PALMER:
She'll mail it to you.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

Yes, sir, I am.

Final selection will be
at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.

(AUDIENCE MURMURING)

We got a deal?
We got a deal.

Congratulations.

(LILLY CHUCKLES)

My knight in shining
armor's come to rescue me?

Bye. I'm gonna
take off.
WOMAN: All right.

LILLY:
I'll see you tomorrow.
WOMAN: See you later.

Is Cale with Pop?

Yeah, they're going
over race strategies.

She going to get in?

Selection's in
the morning.

How did Cale do
in front of the
committee?

Truth? It was rough.

She got kicked
around pretty good.

Why are you smiling?

'Cause she kicked
right back.

Yeah, she reminds me
of somebody.

(CHUCKLES)

You were right, Lil.

It was great
just letting her try.

So you're saying
that I'm smart?

I'm saying you're
smart and beautiful.

You think she has
a chance of getting in.

There's a chance.

And the entry fees
are $120,000, okay?

Did you hear me?

(LAUGHS)
Why are you smiling?

I feel like
I'm on a date.

BEN: Cale?

Time for bed, honey.

Well, that works
a little better than
a bucket now, doesn't it?

(CHUCKLES) Yes.

So how much you're
gonna bet on Sonador
to win the Classic?

Don't you think
she can win?

Well...
You gotta think
she can win.

What's the harm in
thinking she can win?

Say, "I think she can win."

I think she can win.

Good.

She needs to
hear you say that.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I would like to see you
run against those boys.

RACE OFFICIAL: May I have
your attention, please?

As chairman
of the Breeder's Cup,
I am proud to announce

the field for the
22nd running of the
Breeders' Cup Classic.

We start in
alphabetical order.

A.P. Flyer.
(CAMERA CLICKING)

Argus.

Bicycleman.

Bijoco.

Chief Balaz.

Full Of Flight.

Goliath's Boy.

Grand Duke.

Icondoit.

In The Rooms.

Note's Weasel.

On The Hops.

And our last
two runners are,

Point Twice...

...and...

Sonador.

(SHRIEKS)

POP: Way to go.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

(BOTH SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

BALON: No. No.
I gave it away.

(LAUGHING)
MANNY: You gave it away!

You don't even
know the joke.

BALON: I can't believe
I just did that.

PALMER: Well, I had
to see for myself.

It's amazing.

Well, it's good to see
the Cranes all in one spot.

Pop Crane.
The famous Pop Crane.

Evening, fellas.

How can we help you?

PALMER: Well, you have
to ask yourselves

how much it's
worth to you

to have this
broken filly

finish 14th
in a field of 14.

How much you really want
to embarrass yourselves.

'Cause we all know
that this horse

has got no business
in that race.

Ben, I, uh...

I feel bad about
what happened
between us.

No, look, honestly, I do.

And I'd like to
make it right.

I'll give you,

oh, 20,000
in cash for her.

(SONYA NEIGHS)

20 grand?
Yeah.

Let's see. Manny,
that's $1,000 for you.

$1,000 for you, Balon.
Whoo!

MANNY:
A whole 1,000 for me?

I guess I could get me
a couple of steak
dinners now, huh?

Maybe some wine,
maybe some tube socks.

BALON: $1,000 for me, too?

I could buy me
a thousand pair
of dollar underwears.

Wait, my share's
about eight grand.

I've only got 20 invested.
Where do I sign?

(MANNY AND BALON LAUGH)

$40,000.

All right?

I brought my guys
and a trailer with me.

So your luck is changing.

I know what you paid
for that horse.

Are we done here?
Not my horse, Everett.

Hmm?

Well, what do
you say, honey?

I'm not selling her.

Okay, I found
my other pocket.

All right?
And you listen to me.

This is your last chance.

I have a certified
check for $100,000.

And if you take this offer,

I'll give your dad
his job back.

(SONYA NEIGHS)

I can't believe it.

The Cranes have
finally won one.

Dad?

If it was me...

I'd tell him
to take his money
and his empty trailer

and get the hell
off our farm.

But...

That's just me.

So you're running
big colt, Goliath's Boy,
in the Classic?

That's right.
Goliath's Boy
is the favorite.

And when he
wins the Cup,

it'll be my fifth
horse of the year.

Do you think Goliath's Boy
remembers what Sonya's
butt looks like?

Why?

'Cause it's all
it's gonna be seeing
of her on race day.

(LAUGHING)

BALON:
That's a good one, kid.
That's funny, ain't it?

(TEARING CHECK)

PALMER: Suit yourself.

Dad.

Any luck?

I can't find a sponsor
for this race, Pop.

Nobody wants to
take a chance on her.

Called everybody
I can think of.

(CHUCKLES)
You ever seen a kid
so happy with a horse?

Yeah. I have.

CALE: Pick it up.

Come on. Pick it up.

Good girl.

There's other
races, darling,

that don't cost
so much to enter.

(PANTING)

Whoo!

(EXHALES)

I've lost 15 pounds
in three weeks.

You should stop training.

We don't have
the money to run.

Going down to
the Breeders' Cup

to tell them
we're dropping
out of the race.

Oh.

I had a dream
last night, Cale.

I was on a horse.

A fast horse.
That horse and me...

Ooh!
We're flying like angels.

How'd it end?

I woke up and my
hunger was gone.

It was God telling me
to race again.

Thank you, Cale.

May God bless you.

Nobody ever thought
we'd get in.

No, they didn't.
But you did it.

Cale. Pop. Come on.
Get in the truck.

Come on, let's go.

Great idea, Dad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

He said he'd
talk to us.

What are you
gonna say?

I'm not. You are.

I'm here to
see Prince Sadir.

The prince is
expecting you.
Please join him.

Prince Sadir,
I'm Cale Crane.

I remember you.

This is my dad
and my granddad.

Morning.
Appreciate you
taking my call.

120,000?

40,000 for the
nomination fee

and 80,000 for
the entrance fee.

Prince Tariq is sure
he's going to win.

Goliath's Boy
is a big, big horse.

BEN:
Goliath's Boy is a bully.

He's a bluffer
and her horse knows it.

Cale, you look
me in the eye
and you tell me

you think your horse
has a chance of beating
my brother's horse.

My horse will
beat every horse
that shows up.

(GATES WHIRRING)

ALL: Yeah, we're in!

We are in the
Breeder's Cup!
I can't believe it!

CALE: "You are
a great champion.

"When you ran,
the ground shook,

"the sky opened
and mere mortals parted.

"Parted the way to victory,

"where you'll meet me
in the winner's circle,

"where I'll put a blanket
of flowers on your back."

Run hard tomorrow.

Run hard for my dad.

He deserves a good run.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Pop?

POP: Just a minute.

What?

In 21 Breeders' Cup Classics,

you know how many fillies
have ever won it?

None. Only four
fillies ever ran.

She's not even ready.
And Palmer's right,

this is gonna be
an embarrassment.

What am I doing here, Pop?

You're taking your kid
and your horse to the
Breeders' Cup tomorrow.

'Cause that's the dream
of every real horseman.

It's the dream
of every father.

Dream damn few
ever get to see.

Damn few,
trust me on that one.

Listen, uh...

Lilly and Cale
are driving down
in the morning

and Lilly doesn't
really know where
to go, so...

I want you to
come to the race.

Pop, as your son,
I'm asking you to come.

Be with me and Cale.

Okay.

Okay. Good.

Good.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

MANNY:
You are ready, Mama.

Okay, Mama. Okay.

Good job. Good job.

Oh, yeah, good job.

You got her?
Yeah, I got her.

You look muy bella.

Well, thank you, Balon.

I was talking to her.

POP: Here you go, Manny.

Here's the original silks
of the Crane Race Farm.
Buena suerte.

MANNY: Muchas gracias.

I'm gonna taking this
good-looking thing
to the owners' box

and show off that hat.

Have a great
race, Manny.

Thank you, Mrs. Crane.

(ANNOUNCEMENT OVER PA)

Sure wish we had
another couple of weeks.

She's ready to run.

You saved her life.

She's just returning
the favor.

She's here to run for you.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
