for a half mile...

then pull him up, nice and easy.

Go down to the half-mile pole

and watch me.

Come on! Let's go!

Too much horse for your boy.

Jake, he's gonna be all right.

Hyah. Come on, Nappy.

Let's go.

- Whoa.

Come on! Giddap! Go on, get him!

Pull him up!

Pull him up, Nappy!

On the inside!

Come on, Jake.

Hey, your hand's-- You all right?

l'm okay.

l better walk him now.

All right, go ahead.

Cool him out, son.

Did you get what l got?

Right on the button.

That horse has got speed

he ain't even tapped yet.

You're not--

You're not actually--

You're not.

You are outta your mind.

That monster has no more business

being out on this track with class--

He's fast, but he's wild.

You saw him zigzagging

all over the course.

What about his papers?

- He ain't got any.

- He ain't?

That's taste.

What are you gonna do?

Hitch him up to a plow?

No.

l got an idea.

A match race?

Cyclone?

You are too much.

You are really too much.

You got me thinking crazy too.

Squeeze my hand.

l want to try something here.

You feel that?

That's a pretty good grip.

That's not bad, but we're gonna

have to work on your grip.

What l used when l was a rider

was this ball. See how--

- What does a ball do?

- lt strengthens your band.

No matter what you're doin'

through the day, just use this ball.

Let me see you do it. Next time you

grip my hand, we'll see a difference.

This reporter has

the hottest racing news of the year.

Hold onto your hats.

The most sensational

match race imaginable...

between Cyclone from the East

and Sunraider from the West...

is finally set for the afternoon

of August 15 at Santa Anita.

They'll go over two gruelling miles

to prove once and for all...

which is really

the greatest champion.

This is 'Hey-Hey' Jim Neville

from Belmont.

Well, whoever you are...

here we go.

lt's open.

Sure is quiet in here today.

Anything wrong with that?

The Black, he--

He just wouldn't play.

He just stands there

and looks out into the rain.

Maybe The Black is blue today.

- Did you ever think of that?

- 'Blue'?

Rain, man, rain.

Rain.

We're gonna show everybody that he's

the fastest horse in the world.

You think you know that animal?

Yeah, l know him.

l don't know.

l get a funny feeling.

l feel right now that you better

let that horse stay wild, Alec.

lt's his soul.

Easy, Black.

- He ain't gonna show.

- l don't wanna hear that.

He'll show. He'll be here.

He probably doesn't even remember us.

- He'll be here.

- We're ancient history.

l tell you, he's gonna be here.

He's busy.

He's a little jumpy.

Come on. We'll work him.

Get him out there.

Henry!

- You okay?

- Where'd he get you?
