Der Champion (1978)
Lloyd Bourdelle lebt als Stallknecht und Jockey auf einer Farm in Louisiana. Er ist überzeugt, dass das Nachwuchspferd "Shadow" die besten Chancen hat, einmal das große "All American Futurity"-Rennen in Ruisodo zu gewinnen. Besessen von dieser Idee fährt Bourdelle mit seinen Söhnen nach Ruisodo. Die letzten hektischen Vorbereitungen für das Rennen laufen. Ist "Shadow" schon stark genug, solch ein Rennen durchzustehen?
