- On my arm.

- Here?

- ls it broken?

- Leave it alone!

lt's all right.

He just nicked me.

Will you please stop?

All right. What?

lt's him.

- lt's him.

- No.

lt's him, by God.

l tell you, it's him.

lt is him.

Yeah. All right. lt's him.

All right. Give him a leg up there.

Remember, this is our big chance.

lt's up to you.

Take him out.

Come on! Bring him on!

Hey! He's out cold.

He passed out.

Get him out of that mane.

Hold him steady.

- Got him.

- Give me your knife.

- All right.

- Watch it. Hold him steady.

Whoa, sonny.

Here.

- Where'd you get this animal?

- Get him off.

Good boy.

- Get him outta here.

- l got him.

Watch yourself.

Watch it, sir.

Whoa, boy.

What happened?

Did l fall off?

No.

No, you hung on like a champ.

What happened?

Where's The Black?

lt's all right.

Don't worry about it. lt's fine.

He's over in the van with Nappy.

He did good, didn't he?

He did great.

You did great.

You all right?

- How did you like what you saw?

- l wasn't disappointed.

Disappointed?

You never saw a horse

run like that in your life.

This could put you back

in the action, eh, Dailey?

Don't get hard with me.

You know l never liked it.

l need this race.

l need it bad,

and you can do it.

Will you do it?

lf that horse goes like that

with a kid...

- what will he do with a real rider?

- The race.

Nice going, kid.

You got guts.

You heard me say

that Cyclone and Sunraider...

are the fastest horses

in the world today.

l'm going to eat those words now

because l've seen another horse...

that defies the imagination,

that runs like a demon possessed...

at night, alone,

at speeds beyond belief.

He's never run a race,

and he comes out of nowhere...

but he could be the greatest

sensation in racing history.

So l challenge the owners

of both Cyclone...

and Sunraider to meet this mystery horse

in their upcoming match race.

This isn't a joke.

This mystery horse is real,

and l'll stake my reputation on it.

This is 'Hey-Hey' Jim Neville

from Belmont.

Do you know any

real good, famous jockeys?

There are a lot of 'em.

George Wolf, the lceman.

That's just what they call him.

Georgie Wolf.

They call him in the newspapers

the lceman...

because he sits chilly

on a horse.

That means he sits there

and he can wait.

He knows what to do.

He's studying a horse.

He's up there ridin',

goin' on with him.

You know what l mean?

He's sittin' up there, goin' on...

just studyin' him!

Studyin' him.

Just studyin' him.

When it's time to make his move...

he'll say--

Here comes the lceman!

Mom, do you want me

to mow the lawn...

or wash the dishes

or something?

Sure.

Why don't you make all the beds
