Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story Page #4

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 OK.

It's God's way of telling me

no more racing.

Good night.

From Mom.

I'm good. Just put it down there.

Cale?

Will you grab that roll of wire

underneath the fence?

You can just hang on to it there.

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 Moffett.

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.

You got Pop to keep some yearlings

so you could train, race them.

You dont 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 assignment?

- Yes, ma'am.

What's your story about?

It's about a king and his castle...

...and a magic horse.

Easy.

Bye.

She can stand on it. Not for long

but she can stand on it.

I'll run more tests but I don't see any

reason she can't breed. She looks good.

You helped her, Cale.

She's going to have a baby. Yeah.

I'll see you Friday.

Well, I'm going to call in a favor.

Go, Cale.

Go.

So where you going?

Going to go see an old friend.

About a stud for Sonya?

Yeah. About a stud.

You want to 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.

- Nice to meet you, Cale.

- Nice to meet you, too.

Ben, you call me two months ago

saying you got a race mare

needs to be covered,

then I don't hear from you.

It's been a long road with that filly,

but she's ready now.

So you still going to be able

to help me out?

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?

- This here's Thunder Pants.

Honey, Thunder Pants

is a teaser pony.

He's going to help Sonya get ready to go

into the breeding shed with a stallion.

Thanks, Bill.

Hey, Cale, want to meet

the stallion I picked for you?

Cale, meet Grand Slam.

Grand Slam?
