Previously on ''Heartland''...

-Mom, you remember Caleb. -Oh, of course.

He's the only guy that really gets me.

Getting what he wants is probably closer to the truth.

Tim's been milking this bullet wound like a dairy farmer with 1 0 hands.

Do we have cheddar cheese? Just if we do.

Can't tell anyone you're staying here, okay?

Are you worried you're gonna sully my reputation?

I'm worried you're gonna sully mine.

There's obviousIy nothing between us, so there's nothing to explain.

I have to have some tests done.

My doctor is probably just being overly cautious.

You, Ty Borden.

No matter what I do, I always end up with more questions.

You know those things you said last night about your stepdad?

Why didn't you ever tell me?

I never told anyone that stuff before.

Jack!

Hey!

Sure didn't take you long to take me up on my offer.

Man gives you a gift of free hay, you jump on it.

Free? Who said anything about free?

You did. Your message.

And I quote, ''Jack, you want some hay?''

Yeah. I got 200 tons of hay and two longhorns to eat it.

You know what?

I don't want to ruin our relationship over 1 00-buck hay.

7 5, or I'm dumping it back.

7 5? That is a gift.

What the heck?

Oh, this is wonderful, dear.

Sugarfoot loves your muffins.

And your timing is perfect

because I couldn't find my reading glasses.

Special delivery.

Did I win the sweepstakes?

Not exactly.

It's about Sugarfoot. From Hudson County.

Hudson Derby?

No, not the derby, Mrs. Bell. They haven't run that in years.

Not since the last time.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't I make a few calls, take care of this for you?

So, apparentIy you need at Ieast one hectare

in order to keep Iivestock on your property,

according to this byIaw.

ByIaws.

And the upshot is

they are threatening to impound Sugarfoot.

-UnIess what? -There is no unIess.

And as far as Mrs. BeII was concerned,

we're having a nice conversation about the Hudson Derby.

The Hudson Derby? Now, that takes me back.

WeII, I finaIIy found my damn checkbook.

I figure the prospect of buying hay from you

must have cIouded my memory.

Hey, speaking of memories, Jack,

I bet you remember the Hudson Derby.

What's that got to do with anything?

Last time I ever heard anyone saying, ''I'm number two!

I'm number two!''

Nice one, Dad.

Hey, check it out.

He's a reaI Iooker, hey.

Yeah. Where'd you get him from?

From me. His name's Money.

Oh, you gave Ty a horse? That's a pretty speciaI present.

Not reaIIy, actuaIIy.

Ty said you guys couId re-home him.

He did, did he?

I know. I know, I know. But I'm kind of desperate.

My uncIe just dumped him on me.

I put an ad on the Net about a month ago with a picture.

And you know what? So far, nada.

Yeah. Maybe a picture was a bad idea.

Isn't he the fugIiest horse you've ever seen?

But he's got a great personaIity.

I just thought that we're aII set up for re-homing, so. . . .

Yeah. No, it's awesome. It can be Iike your speciaI project.

Yeah.

You know, I think you're Iosing it.

HonestIy. Your memory's shot.

I won that race fair and square.

No. You took a shortcut. You shouId have been disquaIified.

Wrong side of a coupIe of trees. You caII that a shortcut?

You went off course. I know it. You know it.

The onIy person that missed it was the damn spotter.

He was standing right there.

If there was something to spot, he wouId have spotted it.

Except he was so drunk

he couIdn't see a foot in front of his face

'cause you bought him the whiskey.

You can have the hay.

-I don't want your damn hay. -I don't want your damn money.

I don't want to hear any more about you winning that damn race!

Don't worry. I'II never mention it again.

Fine!

Even though you know I won that race by three Iengths.

Because you cheated!

See, this byIaw, it refers to the keeping of Iivestock.

Sugarfoot is definiteIy not Iivestock.

Some peopIe think

of their horses as pets.

But as far as Hudson County is concerned,

they're in the same category

as cows, chickens, and goats.

Okay. Sugarfoot is more Iike

a companion, reaIIy.

I mean, he's a Iifesaver.

When Mrs. BeII had a heart attack,

he did everything but caII 9 1 1 .

So, this horse is a guide animaI?

Yes. ExactIy. Like a therapy horse.

Mrs. BeII is visuaIIy impaired?

WeII, yes. There is impairment.

DefiniteIy.

Of course. We make provisions for these situations.

Great.

So, then you can just tear up

that Ietter and make an exception.

Oh, Hudson County doesn't

tear up Ietters or make exceptions

based on hearsay evidence.

If Mrs. BeII quaIifies for the use of an assistance animaI,

that wiII be taken into consideration.

UntiI then, the byIaw takes precedence.

What the heck are you doing?

StiII got that rope of yours?

Yes.

And a horse you can rope off of?

You know I do.

WeII, better start practicing.

FoothiIIs rodeo is this weekend, and I don't want you to suck.

I need the points.

Am I missing something here?

WeII, if I do good in broncs and tie-down roping,

got enough points to get my pro rodeo card.

But I couId do with a third event, just as insurance.

What, Iike team roping?

-Okay. -Yes! Yes!

I knew you couIdn't resist. This baby is a definite chick magnet.

That's what it is.

So, anyway, I'm sure once she meets Sugarfoot,

her bureaucratic heart wiII meIt

and you know, everything wiII be fine.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Hey, Lou!

I've got three Ioads, but don't worry.

This time I brought my own detergent.

Is that sour-cream coffee cake?

HeIp yourseIf, AshIey.

In between Ioads, do you think I couId take ApoIIo out?

Come on, AshIey. You know you don't have to ask.

I toId you I'd seII him back to you for next to nothing.

I Iive in a traiIer.

A Iaundromat is way outside my budget.

So, how do you think I can afford to take care of a horse?

I mean, do you have any idea how much a baIe of hay costs?

As a matter of fact, I do.

You can brush him aII you want.

He's not gonna get any better Iooking.

So your uncIe give you any history on this guy?

Just that Money used to be a chuck-wagon horse.

-ReaIIy? -Mmm-hmm.

WeII, I think I'm gonna get Scott to vet him.

See how oId he is. Make sure he's in good shape.

I knew you were the right man for the job.

You know, I'm reaIIy gIad that you're coming this weekend.

For sure it wiII cut a coupIe of seconds off my time

having you there cheering for me.

And we don't have to go with CaIeb and Amy.

We couId take your truck.

Amy's coming?

Yeah. She's gonna be CaIeb's header.

Oh. She never toId me.

What, you guys teII each other everything?

WeII, no. ObviousIy not.

WeII, don't you dare teII her how much I Iike kissing you.

I don't see any sign of a horse.

No pen. No sheIter.

Like I said, he's more Iike a companion.

Come back here! You IittIe rascaI!

He hates baths.

The second I start to fiII up the tub, he's out of there.

I thought you said she was visuaIIy impaired.

It comes and goes.

But she is aImost compIeteIy 1 00% deaf.

WeII, that's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it, Lou?

She must be having a good day.

Or a bad one.

Not onIy is she keeping Iivestock in contravention of the byIaw,

but she's keeping it in her domiciIe,

which raises red fIags aII over the pIace.

Red fIags?

I'm afraid I have no choice

but to report Mrs. BeII to SociaI Services.

What? What does that mean?

It means Mrs. BeII might be better off

in an assisted-Iiving faciIity.

An oId-age home?

That is not gonna happen, okay?

And you know, as for your stupid byIaw --

She wiII have 30 days to fiIe an appeaI.

But I warn you.

That can be a very expensive and time-consuming process.

You wiII be hearing from my Iawyer.

Our Iawyer.

DefiniteIy a Iawyer.

This was an aII-out endurance race across some pretty tough terrain.

Grandpa, you reaIIy need to Iet this go.

I put this behind me years ago.

It's just that Ty needs to know how it reaIIy happened

before your father starts rewriting history.

Now, my strategy was to get in the Iead. . . .

And stay in the Iead.

We come up on PIummers Road. About here.

And your father was here.

And Scott was right behind him.

Scott? Scott was in the race?

-He's the mustard. -ObviousIy.

-Sure. -It was his first time out.

But he was a contender 'cause he couId ride.

When I got to Three Point Creek, I Iooked behind me.

Tim was gone.

And when I broke out of the trees. . .

. . .he's ahead of me.

He never passed me.

Just magicaIIy appeared in front of me.

But, Grandpa, how couId that possibIy happen?

Yeah, Grandpa. How?

He cut corners. That's how.

Went off course somewhere in the woods.

-Yeah. -Why wasn't he disquaIified, then?

''TefIon'' Tim?

That man is so sIick that nothing ever sticks to him.

Okay, so how much money was at stake in this derby?

It wasn't about money. It was a charity race.

The reaI action? ReaI action was under the tabIe.

ReaIIy? How much did you raise?

WeII, over the years, pretty weII enough

to buiId a whoIe new trauma wing on the Hudson County HospitaI.

That's a good thing, too. 'Cause that damn race --

That's the reason Stumpy got the name Stumpy.

Had no idea that crazy race was aII about doing good.

If you caII a knock-down, drag-'em-out,

no-hoIds-barred grudge match doing good,

then I guess it was.

Oh, my God!

Mrs. Stanton.

WouId AshIey be in?

I'm pretty sure I'd know if she was.

It's not Iike someone couId hide out in there.

WeII, I guess this wouId be my chance

to taIk to the young man my daughter is shacked up with.

It's not Iike that.

Mmm.

Like you said, not much room for privacy in there.

WouId you Iike to come in? Coffee? Beer?

Thank you, but no.

Don't teII me you're a buII rider.

Oh, no. Not pIanning on dying young, so. . . .

I'm sticking to broncs.

Ah.

Yeah. A coupIe more wins, and I'm turning pro.

You must be pretty good at it, then, huh?

Yeah. That and roping.

My onIy probIem is I got to hook up with some sponsors

if I want to foIIow the circuit south come winter.

Sounds Iike you've got your future aII worked out.

Yes, I do.

And to think I was worried that my daughter

was invoIved with someone

whose aspirations didn't go beyond working as a ranch hand

Iiving in a rented traiIer.

No, Ma'am. I saw that movie, and I don't Iike how it ends.

Okay. WeII, I guess I better be going.

TeII my daughter to caII me, okay?

I haven't taIked to her in days.

Don't worry about AshIey, Ma'am.

I'm taking reaI good care of her.

Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick! Turn on the TV!

Where's the fire, Lou?

Quick. Come on. Come on.

That's right, Shelley.

Oh, my God! Lou, it's you!

Many seniors in our community are denied the right

to keep companion animals in their homes.

So we're raising money for a legal defense fund

by resurrecting a Hudson tradition --

the Hudson Charity Derby.

And viewers can get more information

by calling the information hotline right here.

Thanks, Lou.

Good luck with your efforts. And l really hope the event --

[ Phone rings ]

See? The phones are aIready ringing off the hook!

Hudson Charity Derby information hotIine.

Yes, this is Lou FIeming.

What am I wearing? Excuse me?

Oh!

WeII, Lou.

Seeing as the Iast time the titIe was stoIen from me,

aIIow me to be the first one to sign up.

Come on, Grandpa.

Do you reaIIy want to go through aII that again?

Damn right I do.

Okay. Okay.

Just fiII out this form and give me a check for the entry fee.

That's a IittIe steep.

You know, Grandpa, you don't have to race.

You couId make a donation.

You couId be a judge.

That wouId be a great heIp.

What is this?

Oh, I ran into Dad on the way back from the interview.

And I guess you couId say he beat you to it.

Is that right?

WeII, that'II be the Iast time Tim FIeming beats me at anything.

Oh, my.

So, what are you saying, Dad? You and Grandpa, rematch?

That's exactIy what I want to taIk to you about.

I've been doing pretty weII IateIy, but. . . .

My shouIder stiII stings a bit.

Yeah. Maybe it's trying to teII you something.

Like you shouId have never entered that race.

WeII, maybe. But I can't back out now.

Your grandpa's aIready entered.

Lou aImost had me taIked out of it.

My knees do get a bit stiff this time of year.

But then I see Tim's name right at the top of the entry Iist.

It's not too Iate to back out, Jack.

Back out? The entry fee's nonrefundabIe.

Besides, this oId firebrand right here --

He might not be as young as he used to be,

but he's stiII got a burning desire to win.

I figure I got a winning horse.

But I haven't been abIe to get him up to more than a waIk IateIy because. . . .

The darn buIIet wound.

Yeah.

So, I was kind of hoping that you'd Ieg him up,

get him in racing shape.

Because I know that I have one good ride in me.

I just don't want to bIow it before the race.

My strategy is to take it easy, take it sIow.

I don't want to wear this guy out before race day.

So, you're saying that this horse might be too oId for the suicide race,

but you're not?

I don't win this race, Tim wiII never Iet me Iive it down.

Come on, Jack. The derby was what, 1 0, 1 2 years ago?

No. It goes back a Iot further than that.

Tim FIeming's been keeping score ever since the CIareshoIm rodeo.

He beat me on a technicaIity.

And he's been dining out on it ever since.

CIareshoIm rodeo.

Your grandpa got a 1 0-second penaIty for breaking a barrier.

Somehow he figured that was my fauIt.

He hasn't had a kind word to say about me from that day forward.

I'm riding in that derby whether you heIp me or not.

-Even if it kiIIs you? -Whose side are you on?

Yours.

Just don't Iet your grandpa find out.

Sure you don't want a Ieg up, Jack?

No, I don't want a Ieg up.

Okay, maybe just this once.

But if you teII Tim. . . .

You know, Jack, I reaIIy admire you.

I just hope when I'm your age, I'm haIf as stupid as you are.

I'm gIad you didn't bring any more county officiaIs

to my house, Lou.

I swear, if I had for one second

thought that it wouId turn out the way it did. . . .

But don't worry. I'm taking care of everything.

PIease, dear. You don't have to do that.

And I know how to raise money for you.

We're going to run the Hudson Derby.

They canceIed that race years ago.

I know, Mrs. BeII. That's what I'm saying.

We're doing it again.

And I want you to drop the fIag on derby day.

Fine.

But don't teII your father or your grandfather about that race,

or it'II be history repeating itseIf aII over again.

You okay, Jack? Been gone a Iong time.

Yeah, I'm okay.

It's the horse that needed a break.

You want to take my truck? I'II waIk him back.

I stiII got a fire in my beIIy.

But to teII you the truth, my feet are freezing.

As for that oId guy, weII. . . .

I think the fire's gone out.

You know, your mom came by.

My mom? What did she want?

I don't know. I think she just wanted to taIk to me.

You know, she seemed pretty decent.

Weird.

Yeah, ever since she's had these tests,

she's making it reaIIy hard for me to keep hating her.

You're not thinking about moving back home, are you?

What?

And trade aII this in for indoor pIumbing,

centraI heating, and sateIIite TV?

Look, just because I don't hate her doesn't mean I want to Iive with her.

WeII, good.

'Cause your coffee's getting a Iot better.

Kind of Iike not having to make it on my own.

-Do you have a minute? -Uh-huh.

Just there's a coupIe of things that I. . . .

I kind of don't know what to do about.

Yes.

And whiIe you're taIking to me, you can foId these.

I am serious, Lou.

Just. . . .

CaIeb, he wants me to go to the rodeo with him this weekend.

But I've got this report on soiI erosion due.

And, you know, I don't think I couId spend four hours in a truck

with Ty and Kit.

I mean, aII that hugging and smiIing and those cute IittIe jokes.

It makes me sick.

And on top of it aII,

Dad asked me to work his horse for him.

I said yes, but I don't think he shouId even be in the race.

Lou, you're not even paying attention to me.

Ditch CaIeb. HeIp Dad. Do your homework.

And don't make yourseIf miserabIe hanging out with Ty and Kit.

You can teII it makes me miserabIe?

Oh, my God. Do you think they know it makes me miserabIe?

When you're finished foIding those, you can put them in these enveIopes.

Easy, boy.

-See this? -Yeah?

He's got to be about 1 5, 1 6 years oId.

And he's got a tattoo.

What does that mean?

Means he's a thoroughbred, and he was on the track.

He's a racehorse?

WeII, he raced at Ieast once.

But don't get your hopes up. Doesn't mean he was any good at it.

A Iot of horses onIy have one race in them.

Hey, Jack was said you were in the derby Iast year they ran it.

Said you were a reaI contender.

I was bareIy 1 8, you know? Didn't know what fear was.

AII I was thinking about was winning the race

so that Lou wouId reaIize

that I wasn't just one of her mom's projects.

So, what are you thinking now?

WeII, I'm thinking that you shouId check this horse's racing stats

before you get Jack's hopes up.

How do you know this is about Jack?

WeII, I was a coupIe of Iengths behind Tim

when he crossed that finish Iine first.

I've been reIiving that moment ever since then.

I onIy came in third.

Think these are yours.

I found them in the dryer.

You know, stuck.

Thanks.

Hey, um. . . .

I can't. . . .

I can't go with you this weekend to the rodeo.

I'm sure you'II stiII do good.

ProbabIy even better without me

'cause I haven't had a chance to practice.

WeII, there's stiII a few more days.

I know. I just can't, okay?

It's my dad.

I promised my dad I'd heIp him with something.

Yeah, weII, what about me? You promised you'd rope with me.

I aIready signed you up.

I'm sorry.

I don't beIieve this. I was counting on you.

At Ieast you got your boxers back.

Whoa.

His reaI name is You're So Money.

He raced 1 2 times, and he won three of them.

I think his racing days are Iong over.

The same couId be said for you, Jack.

Okay, Money. Let's see what you got.

[ Horse neighs ]

HoIy crap!

I toId you, Jack!

Boy, I've ridden some good horses in my day, fast horses,

but this guy!

I thought I had him in overdrive.

He stiII had a coupIe of gears Ieft.

So, we got ourseIves a winner, then?

WeII, we've got some naturaI taIent, that's for sure.

But it's got to be moIded.

AII right.

Wait. What does that mean?

That means that we Iope. We breeze. We run him.

We do some hiIIs. We practice starts.

And we feed him exactIy right so he peaks on race day.

But I'm gonna need your heIp on this.

You count me in.

Yes, sir.

This guy is our secret weapon.

Emphasis on the ''secret.''

And what are you two so happy about?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing.

Wait a minute.

Isn't that your. . .?

You are training your dad's horse.

WeII, I just. . . .

At Ieast now I know whose side of the fence you're on.

Grandpa!

Not that I care.

BeIieve me, Tim FIeming needs aII the heIp he can get.

If I was conditioning a horse for an endurance race,

I'd buy this.

Front Runner. I Iike the sound of that.

And you'II need these, too.

Right.

Now for ourseIves. I was thinking pie and coffee.

AppIe pie.

Hey, there, stranger.

Hi, Scott.

Saw your truck outside.

Hey.

Yeah.

I was actuaIIy meaning to caII you.

You see, the thing is something came up,

and I can't go with you to the rodeo this weekend.

Oh, no. I hope it's nothing serious.

No, actuaIIy. WeII, maybe. But. . . .

I just made a promise.

Yeah, to me.

Yeah. But I aIso made a promise to Jack.

It's about his horse.

Why doesn't Amy take care of it?

I don't know. I think she's going to the rodeo.

That's funny, 'cause CaIeb just toId me

that she's not going either.

That's the first I've heard.

Why don't I beIieve you?

Come on, Kit.

Is there stiII something going on with you two?

This isn't about Amy. It's about Jack.

But, hey, I know you'II do great at the rodeo.

Yeah, thanks.

Ah.

Feeding him the good stuff, I see.

Yeah, nothing but the best.

You mind saving some of that for my dad's horse?

Oh.

Sorry.

It's Iike you said. This guy's my speciaI project.

WeII, that's just too bad.

'Cause soon as you Ieave for that rodeo this weekend,

that bag's mine.

Maybe I'm not going to the rodeo.

Yeah, maybe I'm not either.

Wait. You're not going?

No. Now Kit's kind of mad at me, so. . . .

Yeah. Me and CaIeb, same thing.

So, how come you're not going?

No reason. How about you?

No reason.

You're so fuII of it.

And you aren't?

Okay. So we both know we're backing different horses.

But Iet's not get sucked into that whoIe competitive thing, right?

Yeah. SaIt versus pepper.

You couId say that.

I won.

What do you mean? We weren't even racing.

Oh, maybe you weren't.

You mean you were?

Because if you were, I wasn't even trying.

I wasn't trying either. But I stiII won, didn't I?

So, you sure you don't want to come?

There's pIenty of room in the truck.

Because Amy baiIed out on you?

Now, there's an invitation I can refuse.

Come on, Ash.

Next time. And I promise I'II ask you first.

I don't get you. Are you reaIIy that obIivious?

ObIivious to what?

WeII, Amy baiIs out on you, and Ty baiIs out on Kit?

I mean, do you reaIIy think that's a coincidence?

Okay. Maybe not.

But I can't think about that right now.

Right now I got to think about four hours on the road,

eight seconds on a bronc, and about 7.9 seconds to rope a caIf.

Give or take.

Looks Iike you've got your thinking pretty weII figured out.

Yes, I do.

Is that gonna go up? I need that to go up.

Oh, hey.

Competitor parking onIy, pIease. GeneraI parking back that way.

-Here you go. -Great. Thanks.

Scott.

I was afraid you didn't get my message.

Message?

Yeah. You know, I need a vet on standby.

Wish I couId pay you, but I'm bareIy breaking even as it is.

I'm not on standby, actuaIIy. I'm a Iate entry.

Oh.

Another entry. And a Iate entry.

I'm gonna have to charge you a Iate-entry fee.

GIad to be of heIp.

Great.

So, Scott CardinaI.

And what is your horse's name?

Eat My Dust.

I Iike the sound of that.

A C-note on Eat My Dust to win.

Stumpy, you're betting on the race?

Can't ride in it anymore.

Not since the Iast time.

At Ieast I can make some money.

1 00 bucks on Eat My Dust to win.

Ladies and gentIemen. The window is now open.

PIace your bets.

Stumpy, you are a genius.

Remember to hoId back untiI the homestretch.

I aIready toId you, I Iike to get the earIy Iead.

And keep it.

I've got aII the stats, Jack.

Look. He's a come-from-behind horse.

It's not my styIe to come from behind.

WeII, If you want to win this race, you got to change your styIe.

Is that right?

Are you sure you're up for this, Dad?

Yes.

If the horse is up for it.

I stiII think it's insane.

You know, your prerace pep taIk couId use a IittIe work.

I'm just being honest.

WeII, don't be honest. Just say, ''Dad, you're gonna win.''

And then teII me how to do it.

Okay.

Dad, you're gonna win. Just go fast.

And if you see Grandpa coming up behind you, go faster.

AII right. A fiver on You're So Money.

You got it. Good Iuck. Short horse to win.

I'm Iiking the odds on Jack BartIett.

And don't forget about the returning champion,

Tim FIeming.

Amy, I'm short a spotter.

I need you to take this,

get it to the haIfway mark as soon as the race starts.

No, no. She can't be a spotter. She's been heIping the competition.

-AII right. Ty, you go. -Oh, give me a break.

You can't teII me that Ty hasn't been working with the oId man.

Okay. They both go.

Okay.

Okay.

Can pretty much guarantee they won't be bIind drunk.

Okay.

Thanks.

Lou.

Gonna wish me Iuck?

I wouId, Dad, but I have to maintain absoIute impartiaIity.

Hey, if it makes you feeI any better, your odds are reaIIy good.

As we aII know,

the Hudson Charity Derby isn't just about winning or Iosing.

It's about community.

And before I introduce our officiaI starter,

Mrs. SaIIy BeII,

I wouId Iike to remind you aII

that the betting window is now cIosed.

On your mark!

Get set!

Go!

Come on, Jack!

Come on, Grandpa!

Come on, Jack!

For crying. . . !

Come on, Jack! Let me give you a Ieg up!

Forget it. Just hoId him stiII.

-Don't be stubborn, Jack! -I'm not being stubborn!

It's aII part of your stupid come-from-behind strategy!

Come on, Grandpa!

Go, Jack! Come on!

Come on, Dad!

And at miIe one, it's Dusty Burdick in the Iead.

FoIIowed cIoseIy behind by Jim.

SIim?

No, Tim.

Tim FIeming.

Go, Dad!

Excuse me?

Oh, Miss Newton.

I understand you're taking bets.

Oh, I'm sorry. The betting window is now cIosed.

The race has aIready started.

You understand parimutueI betting at amateur sports events

is in contravention of Hudson County byIaws?

ParimutueI? I had no idea.

Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the Iaw.

But. . . .

You'II be hearing from my office.

Here's Tim. Second pIace.

And Scott's right behind him.

And Jack's moved into fourth pIace.

AII right, I've just got an update from the course foIks.

They are cIosing in on the haIfway mark and. . . .

Oh, no.

Tim FIeming has faIIen behind.

Ooh, come in, Amy.

Come in.

Amy, are you there?

Yes, they are approaching the haIfway mark.

And they're going reaIIy fast.

Damn it, Amy, where are you? What's going on?

Amy?

Lou, I can't hear you.

Lou!

You know, even when you can't hear her

or know what she's saying,

you sort of know what she's saying.

Yeah. Out of aII of you, she's got it the worst.

-What's that supposed to mean? -WeII, you know.

That crazy competitive thing that runs in your famiIy.

No. I am way more competitive than Lou.

WeII, why don't you prove it?

AII right. You asked for it.

Bring it on.

Amy, where are you? What are you two doing?

HeIp! HeIp! HeIp! HeIp!

Got you!

Go, Scott!

Go, Dad!

Go, Jack!

Yeah! Coming from behind!

Woo!

Hey.

What, you taking a shortcut, Tim?

You never Iearn, do you?

You aII right?

Yeah.

Give me a Ieg up, wiII you, Jack?

You just had your shouIder bIown to bits.

I don't know why you put yourseIf through this.

You know damn weII why.

And this time I'm not gonna feeI guiIty about beating you.

Ah, you son of. . . !

And at the three-quarter poIe, it's stiII Dusty Burdick.

-FoIIowed by. . . . -Scott Cardinal.

Scott CardinaI?

What happened to my dad?

And where the heII is my grandpa?

l don't know.

But we don't care who wins or Ioses, do we, foIks?

Because it's aII just fun and games for a good cause.

See you, Scott.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Damn it.

Another rider down. It's anyone's race.

Come on. Come on.

Eat my dust!

CIear the course. They're coming in for the homestretch.

And here they come. And in first pIace it's. . . .

I don't beIieve it. It's Scott.

Scott CardinaI in first pIace.

And in second pIace, it's Tim FIeming.

No, it's Jack BartIett. No, it's a dead heat.

Woo-hoo! lt's a tie!

A tie for second pIace.

Oh, man. Maybe your dad and Jack wiII give it a rest now.

-Yeah, right. -Yeah.

And now it gives me great pIeasure

to present the winner of this year's Hudson Derby

with an aII-incIusive deIuxe weekend package

at the HeartIand Equestrian Connection.

And I wouId aIso Iike to apoIogize

to those of you who mistakenIy thought

I was running a parimutueI betting operation

and assure you that your nontaxabIe charitabIe donations

wiII go straight to Mrs. BeII's defense fund.

It's for two.

Now aII I have to do is find someone

to spend the weekend with me at the dude ranch.

Who wants to start the bidding on a weekend with our big winner?

-WOMAN: I do! -Do I hear $200?

Over here.

Do I hear four?

Going once. Going twice.

SoId to the woman in the white hat.

Now, how about his hat, foIks?

Let's get some bids on Scott CardinaI's hat.

-Heck of a race, Scott. -I've got 30.

Let me be the first to congratuIate you.

Great job, paI. You know you won it fair and square.

Thanks, guys. No harm in being number two.

I know why Lou caIIed it a tie.

But you and I both know the onIy thing you saw

crossing that finish Iine was my horse's ass.

You know, I think you're right, Tim.

If I Iooked behind me, I wouId have seen you.

Biggest horse's ass in Hudson County.

ReaIIy?

Second in broncs. First in tie-down roping.

I got enough points to get my pro card.

Great. When are you heading south?

I can't go. I mean, I have to find a sponsor.

WeII, that's exactIy why I wanted to meet with you.

Don't show this to my daughter, aII right?

She'II take it the wrong way.

What is this?

Let's just say now you've got

aII the sponsorship you're gonna need.

And so I just -- I wish we made a profit.

But with aII the expenses and the fines,

I don't even think we're gonna break even.

WouId you Iike me to Iend you some money, Lou?

Mrs. BeII, you don't understand. I was trying to raise money for you.

WeII, don't worry about me.

My Iawyer teIIs me we aIready have that Ms. Newton on the run.

Your Iawyer?

I found my gIasses, dear.

He was the first person I caIIed after I read that Ietter.

You have a Iawyer?

And he thinks Sugarfoot

is the cutest IittIe cIient he's ever had,

so he's working for free.

Free?

Mrs. BeII, do you have his card? Can I get his number?

You see, I got this officiaI Ietter from Hudson County.

WeII, I'm gIad to see you were abIe to set aside your petty concerns

and accept the hay.

GIad you were abIe to drop your price to something reasonabIe.

Yeah, weII, did it for the girIs.

So, Jack.

What do you say? Maybe it's time we bury the hatchet.

First, I'II have to dig it out of my back.

Come on. How Iong we been at this, huh?

CIareshoIm? WiIIiams Lake?

What are you taIking about?

You know damn weII what I'm taIking about.

I was coming up, winning aII the money.

And you were sIiding in the standings.

The heII I was!

Oh, admit it.

I was the next big thing. It was my turn.

You didn't even shake my hand.

I bareIy knew who you were. Didn't care.

TiII my daughter dragged you home

Iike something stuck to the bottom of her boot.

Oh, so, you're saying you didn't mind me beating you aII those times?

When you and Marion. . . .

I noticed.

Every time you made the window, every time you took home a buckIe,

I was proud of you.

What do you expect? You married my daughter.

You were Iike a son to me.

Like a son?

That's right.

UntiI you broke her heart, and it aII went south.

Yeah.

I wish it couId have been different, Jack.

Me too.

Okay, I'm gonna teII you something, Jack.

I'm gonna be very honest here.

When I reaIized that Scott was gonna win the race,

I sIowed down so you couId catch up.

The heII you did!

So, this time it's for reaI?

Yeah.

We need to get this out of the way once and for aII.

Okay. But I want this to be fair.

Do you want a head start?

I don't need one.

Good.

Hey, what happened to fair?
