Bye.

Thunder Jam goes off as the heavy
favorite despite a lackluster record for

Harris Racing Group.

Thunder Jam reluctant to go in.

Chandler's trying to calm him down.

Thunder Jam in the hole.

Come on, give him a hand. Get him behind
him there. Come on, hurry up.

Hey, Pete.

What's the deal with the nine horse?

That's Thunder Jam. He asked me.

Just a pricey waste of speed.

Hey, Corey.

Is this Machado's new jockey?

No, he's just a sub.

I want you to tell him to hire you.

Believe me, I'm working on it.

Okay, thank you.

the first turn.

Kona Cat still controlling the pace.
Pair of Hearts content with second at

point. Top of Nothing falling off with
fifth. Wookiee's Cookie and Baby's Man

good position in the second group and on
his pace in the fifth race with Kona

Cat leading by the way. Top of Nothing
playing back with Wookiee Cookie. You

stick a fork in Thunder Jam. He's done.

Pair of Hearts and Mandalay Pride.

One, two, and three as they head into
the turn.

Wookiee's Cookie mounting a delt, but it
could be too much ground to make up

for. Pair of Hearts making a bold move
on the outside.

You did pretty good for a first race,
huh, Mr. Machado?

I thought she'd show a little more than
that. Maybe she needs a better jockey.

Oh, here we go.

Come on, Mr.

Machado. I'm ready. You know I am. Let
me be your jockey.

I am not putting you on a racehorse.
It's too dangerous. I've shoveled horse

poop for you for the past two years.
Trust me, dangerous is a big...

Will she race again?

No, but maybe a riding pony... No, I
don't do riding ponies. I do racehorses.

Just get me the injury certificate.

Tell you what.

Why don't you ask your mother to see
what she says? You know what she'll say.

Lucy, what was that all about?

Gareth wants to put her down.

Let me guess.

Insurance money.

An animal like this. What a waste.

She is a beauty.

You can tell, Mr. Garris, I'm not
getting on that plug Thunder Jam again.

All the laughing stock out there.

Thunder Jam, you're pathetic.

Wait a second.

You can't just walk out on Mr. Garris
like that.

I'll be right back.

Oh,

Thunder Jam.

So you had a...

Right there, the turn, when you flew
past the quarter pole.

It was like... It was like listening to
the wind.

I think what you might have heard was
wheezing.

Now, maybe you missed it, but this horse
came in dead last.

Correction, next to dead last.

You're absolutely right. My apologies.
Yeah, you did beat the horse that fell

down.

Okay, so he's not secretarian.

But look how strong he is.

A horse needs more than strength, Corey.

Gotta have heart.

I'll bet there's a racehorse in there
somewhere.

So what's gonna happen to her?

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. We got
enough problems in our own barn.

I'm not a baby, Mr. Machado.

All right.

Garris is gonna have her destroyed.

For what?

For what else?

Money.

Insurance won't pay for a horse that's
still standing.

So tomorrow morning, a truck will come
by, pick her up, take her away, and cut

her up for horse meat. There's got to be
something we can do.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Cory, it's not our horse.

Maybe it'll grow wings and fly away.

Yeah, like that'll happen.

Well, we can hope.

You go on home now, all right? Your
mother probably has dinner waiting.

I'll put Wookie's cookie back in our
barn.

Thanks, Mr. Machado. All right.

Tell me that is not my underwear on your
head. I'm playing jockey. I needed a

helmet. You need a role model.

Betting with toothpicks, Abuelita?

Only the fifth race and already I'm down
2 ,000.

That's a lot of toothpicks.

Dinner's almost ready.

I won't let you down, Dad.

How was work today, Corita?

Same old thing.

Feed the horses, work the horses, watch
them lose.

Hector is a good man.

God will reward him. His luck will
change.

I'm a good woman.

My luck stinks.

That's because God rewarded you with
grandchildren.

I would pray them for a winning horse.

She's teasing you. I know.

Hey, put a lid on the disposal.

You can't tell me what to do.

I'm the man of the family. Says the boy
who wears satin panties on his head.

The cotton wants to pull my hair.

Mom, I've been thinking about getting a
new job.

And quit working for Mr. Machado?

I'd still be working for him.

He needs a new jockey.

I won't allow it.

But, Ma, I don't want to be an exercise
rider for the rest of my life.

Well, then you can forget about the
horses.

You're a smart girl, Cody.

You can be a doctor, teacher. I don't
want to be those things. I want to be a

jockey. We have been through this a
thousand times, Corita.

I said no, and that is final.

I can be anything I want to be.

Dad told me so.

And look what being a jockey got him.

A nice headstone.

Is that what you want?

To break my heart again?

Golly, go with her.

Okay.

She reminds me of her father.

Don't.

She is my child.

And I am trying to protect her. For how
long?

What if she's... got the gift.

No gift takes away a husband and a
father.

There is no gift.

It's okay.

I won't let them hurt you, I promise.

This is for your own good.

Go on.

Get out of here.

Go.

Hello?

Is anybody there?

Hello?

That was a very brave thing you did.

Who said that?

I did. It's me, TJ.

TJ?

That's right.

It's me.

That's funny.

I thought I just heard you.

You did.

This is too weird. Oh, man.

I've got to wear a mask in here from now
on. The fumes are really getting to my

head.

Humans.

Look, pal, I drove all night to pick up
a horse. Now, where is it? I don't know

what happened. It was right here
yesterday.

You better find out, because I don't
want to be the one to tell Mr. Garris

can't find his horse.

You wouldn't know anything about a
missing horse, would you?

But, Mr. Machado, you said that Mr.
Garris was just going to get... I didn't

think so.

My guess is he just grew wings and flew
away.

But our horses are still here, and they
need a little attention.

this old boy toy?

Huh?

This old boy is a filly, Mr. Flanagan,
and she's doing just fine.

You got your old man's head for horses.

Hey, Hector, around.

Hector,

I'm about to make you a very happy man.

Am I leaving? I can see you're busy, so
I will cut right to the chase.

I have signed a new jockey, and I'm
going to give you first craft.

Pass. Be moody.

He's got the midst of shoemaker.

Best touch with the ponies I have ever
seen. Take a look.

Would you at least take a look?

Great moves, huh?

I don't need a calf roper.

Try the rodeo. Come on. Give the kid a
shot. Let him do a workout, anything.

Just see what he can do.

I don't need a jockey, Homer.

You don't need one or you can't afford
one.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's not like it's a secret.

Jockeys won't ride for you. Owners
aren't bringing your horses.

Nobody wants to be around a loser.

It's their words, not mine.

Every trainer has a slump.

It's been two years, Hector. If you
don't saddle a winner soon, you're going

lose the barn.

Any experience?

Are you kidding?

This kid was born with his butt in his
saddle, which didn't make his mother

happy. Yeah, lots of experience, mostly
Florida.

Gulfstream? Hialeah? Ringling Brothers.

A circus rider.

Hey, a very good circus rider.

What do I listen to you? So, do we have
a deal?

Here's your deal.

You're not out of here in two seconds.

You'll never have worms again.

Yeah, get back to me and the kid, will
you, Hector?

And they're away in the second race.

Pitches don't even break. They're all
bunched up coming down the straight.

You know, I like that juicy fruity
horse.

That's a sappy name.

He's throwing away good toothpicks. He's
worn out.

He told you this?

Well, no, but look at him.

Let me know when he says he's worn out.

Until then, 200 toothpicks on Juicy
Fruity.

Abuelita, you don't think they really
talk, do you, the horses?

Of course they do.

I mean, like to us.

Uh -huh, that too.

In English.

Cory, are you trying to tell me
something?

I don't know.

Something happened the other night.

Nuts, horses do not talk.

They call it la confianza de caballos.

The confidence of horses?

Yes. For many generations, people in our
family have had a special bond with

the caballos.

So, they talk to you?

If they did, I wouldn't lose so many
toothpicks.

The caballo tells his secrets only to
those who prove themselves worthy, whose

hearts are pure and true.

Like you, Papa?

He had to give it.

Spare me.

That's right, baby.

Hollywood's in the house.

I thought I smelled something foul.

Hey, baby, what's your name?

Oh, please.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

You haven't lost your touch with the
ladies, Hollywood.

That's so funny. I'm surprised you even
recognize my face, since you're usually

chasing my butt.

Well, who could tell the difference?

Hurry up.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Okay, now, let's relax. I think I can. I
think I can. I think I feel my heart

coming out of my mouth.

Oh, I think I can. I think I can.

How come I always get a fat jockey?

Hey, did you hear that?

Hear what?

I think I can. I think I can. I think I
can.

I think you're hearing things, Corby.

I have no idea.

I think I can. I think I can. I'm still
thinking. I'm still thinking. I'm still

counting.

Every horse race needs a loser.

That's why we invited you.

Mr. Garris, you have a horse entered or
are you just out looking for runaways?

So you know about that.

Why am I not surprised?

Can't say I was sorry.

Just buy your barn today.

A lot of empty space.

You know, I could use the stalls for
some real horses.

The barn's not for sale.

Yet.

You know, I remember Machado from the
old days.

He had this dream of training a
champion.

Killer instinct.

What ever happened to that guy?

You know what happened.

Long time ago, Hector.

Accidents are part of racing.

Do yourself a favor.

Get over it.

Oh, uh, after the race.

Come on down to the winner's circle.

I'll show you around.

I mean, since you don't get down there.

Ever.

The field taking shape here as Hollywood
Shuffle moves into position number

eight. Hey, hey, watch the tail. Watch
the tail.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I got that
feeling. Excuse me. Excuse me. I got

feeling. I need to do my business.

They're in.

You need a bucket? Thunder bucket?

Excuse me. I need a potty break.

A little late for that, isn't it, blue
blood? I can't help it. I got to go.

There is he. McCaffrey? I don't know.
Maybe he's buried in the pack.

Thunderdams proving why he's the long
shot.

Still at the gate.

Hail Bob hugs the rail, making a frown
as they move around the first turn.

Hollywood stuff while setting a shell at
his face as they enter the backstretch.

What are you doing?

Get moving!

Come on!

Run, run, you idiot!

Every horse race needs a loser.

Well, at least my horse left the gate.

What do they want from me? They just
called. I opened the door. That's it.

dumping Thunder Jam. You can't just dump
a horse because he's no good, sir.

Insurance doesn't work that way. Fine,
I'll break his leg first and I'll have a

reason to dump him. Mr. Garrison.

What? I was just going to say.

Watch your step, sir.

I want that loser out of my life. I
don't care if you shoot him, grind him

dog food, or trade him for a bag of
peanuts. Just get rid of him.

I'll take him.

Huh?

You just said you'd trade him for a bag
of peanuts.

I'll take him.

You just bought yourself a racehorse,
kid.

Oh, and by the way, you overpaid.

Mr.

Garris! Mr. Garris!

Hey.

I can't believe Gareth just did that. So
he dumps the loser horse.

Fake deal.

Don't listen to them.

I'm not a loser. You're mine now.

Mama!

Mama! Come and see!

Abby, slow down.

What's wrong?

You and me, we'll be like the dream team
of racing.

Perfect horse, perfect jockey. We'll own
the winner's circle.

Oh, and I'll buy my mom the house she's
always wanted.

And you're going to love Mr. Machado.
He's the greatest trainer.

Give it back.

What? No, Mom. Give it back right now.

I can't. If I do, Mr. Garris is just
going to get rid of him.

I'm sorry, Corita.

I can barely take care of our family. I
cannot take care of a horse. You won't

have to.

are you going to keep this horse?

Well, you can stay here.

I mean, if it's okay with you, it's not
like I don't have the room.

The answer is still no.

You can't even afford to buy feed. He
can pay his own way, Mom. Right, Mr.

Machado? Right?

Yeah, yeah. I suppose he could pay for
his feed with his own witness.

Mr. Machado's a great trainer, Mom.

He'll turn him into a winner in no time.
Please.

What if he never wins?

He'd be right at home at this barn.

For now.

Gabi.

Bedtime. Go on.

Now, don't think for a second that
having a horse makes you a jockey.

If I ever catch you riding him or any
other horse in a race, I'll give him

myself.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mom.

Go to sleep.

You too, Mia.

Are we in trouble?

No. Go to sleep.

Good night, Cory.

I love you.

I love you too, Gabby.

Morning, Thunderdams.

Morning.

Morning? Good morning.

I'm sorry, did I scare you?

No.

No, no, no.

Yes, yes, yes.

This is not happening. I am not talking
to a horse.

So forget I'm a horse. Just think of me
as a hairy guy with a big nose.

My grandmother told me about this.

About what?

The confidence of horses.

Oh, yeah, that gift thing.

I'm Thunder Jam, but you can call me TJ.

Yes, and you can call me Insane. I got
to get you ready for your workout.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute, Miss
Insane. A workout for what?

I don't know. You're a racehorse. How
about for a race?

I should let you in on a little secret.

I stink.

Okay. Now I'll let you in on a little
secret.

Starting today, you're going to try.

And if you don't, I'll... I'm talking to
a horse. This is totally crazy.

Morning, Cory.

Mr. Machado. I mean, morning.

I'm just in here not talking to a horse
or anybody.

Just to me, of course.

Okay. Very smooth.

Would you shut up? I'll hear you.

Relax. You're the only one that can hear
me. I'll prove it. Hey, you, goat face.

Goat face?

Goat face.

No. No, no. I don't think you're a goat
face.

Cor,

are you okay?

I'm really not sure yet.

Well, why are you thinking about it once
you get the rest of the horses fed?

Well, I was just getting...

TJ, I mean Thunder Jam ready for his
workout.

Well, there won't be any point in that.

He's not going to be doing any racing.
Ooh, I like this guy. Shut up.

Excuse me?

No, not you.

What do you mean he won't be doing any
racing?

Well, you saw the same starts that I
did.

He never left the gate.

He's a plug, Corey, not a racehorse.

Ouch. Plug's a little strong.

But yesterday you said he'd stay his way
from his winnings. Corey.

I said that because I wanted you to keep
him.

I'm sorry.

Can I at least give him a workout?

Well, you're his exercise rider. Just be
careful.

Be careful.

I heard that.

So what's a horse got to do around here
to get some cow?

Easy on the ribs. I'm really dicklish.

Catch up to them. I'm not really slow.
It's just that they're too fast.

What is that?

What are you doing? What is that? Oh,
that's ugly.

Let me get a good look. Oh, that's
really ugly.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Okay, you were right.

Maybe he is a little crazy, but you
gotta admit, he can run.

Oh, no, no, he wasn't running. He was
flying.

He turned an eighth in ten -five.

I think we got ourselves a racehorse.

Yes, yes.

Of course, we gotta get a dog to chase
him, but... So when do we start?

As soon as I can find a jockey.

Mimi, you're looking at her.

Cora, you know better than that.

Well, if not me, then who?

Yeah, yeah, very good circus clown

Yeah,

that's much

better There's a jockey in there
somewhere. He just needs a little help.

from a psychiatrist.

Oh my back

Dude, this is one awesome mule. Mule?
Hello, I'm not a dude.

And I'm not a mule. Don't take it
personal. She's just a little jealous.

Mr. Moody, welcome aboard.

I got the gig?

Oh, no way.

Oh, dude, I won't let you guys down, I
swear.

Catch me and die, okay?

Oh, man, this is so awesome. Dude, dude,
I'm your new jockey.

What are you doing?

He kissed me. He kissed me.

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong
with his bloodline. Take a look at this.

T .J.'s father won a Kentucky Derby.

So what's his problem?

Well, looking at his chart, I'd say
Garris ran him way too often and in all

wrong races.

Turned a good horse into a head case.

No way.

My dad said I was a head case.

What a shock.

What?

Now, listen. I think we can get T .J.
turned around.

Get him back to form.

Maybe even make him a champion like his
father. But it's going to take a lot of

work. From everyone. Oh, dude, I'm all
over it.

Corey, we're gonna need your help.

Corey.

I know this is hard for you.

And I wouldn't blame you if you stopped
right here and now.

It's your horse and it's your call.

We'd have to build his confidence back.

Absolutely.

From the ground up.

Then let's get to work.

Let's go.

PJ could have all the speed in the
world, but it won't matter if he never

the gate.

Wait a minute. Where are we going? Those
look like gates.

How many times do I have to tell you?
Quit yanking. Oh, I got a tender tooth

the back. Watch the fit. Watch the fit.
I told you. I don't like this.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? Nice job,
Cory. Now hang on.

Moody.

Moody, I need you to concentrate and
anticipate the start.

You ready?

Go for it.

Go.

No, I'm not moving. I'm not going
anywhere.

We got engine failure, dude.

Let's try it again.

I'm going to stand right here.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm still not moving.

See?

I'm not going anywhere.

But he is.

Always wear a seatbelt.

This is going to take a while.

Hector, what can I do for you?

Well, can you get a thick -headed horse
out of a gate?

No, it's your job.

I serve coffee.

Oh, well, I could use some.

It was very good of you to keep the
horse in your barn. Well, I'm a trainer

I need horses.

It's more than that. You know it.

You're so good to Cordy and to our
family.

No, no.

Please let me do this.

You spend your money someplace else.

Oh, you mean there's something other
than work?

If you ever stop working long enough,
you might meet somebody who interests

Well, you're one to talk.

I have a family to raise.

You have no excuse.

Yeah, well, you know... There is
someone.

Two legs or four.

Oh, she's very much a woman.

From the first time I laid eyes on her,
it was as if... beauty

had a new standard.

She sounds... wonderful.

Wonderful and more.

So what's happening with you and this...

Wonderful woman.

Nothing.

I'm going to go check on T .J. because I
wonder if he's left the gate yet.

Buenas vueltas.

Thanks. You have a nice day.

is your problem?

Me? What about Moody? Well, at least
he's trying, which is more than I can

for you.

First rule of racing, you can't win if
you don't leave the starting gate.

You can't win with me, period. Oh, and
what's that supposed to mean? That I'm

done, I'm over the hill.

You're only five, TJ.

Sure, in human years, in horse years,
I'm way past dead.

Don't tempt me. Get real, I've crossed
the finish line for the last time.

never... You must have finished mine.

It's time to put me out to study. You
know what, T .J.? Maybe you're right.

I expected a better class of horse at a
stud farm. That's because this isn't a

stud farm.

Well done.

See, stud farms are for studs.

Studs are winners.

Studs don't quit.

Pony rides, on the other hand, they're
for plugs.

So you can either start trying... Come
on! Giddy up, horsey!

Well, you get the idea.

So what are you, TJ?

Stud?

Or a plug?

Love nobody.

Hector, I run a track for racehorses,
not head cases. Come on. I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can do. You know his
history. Yeah, but Garris ran him in all

the wrong races, and Corey's turned him
around, and you should have seen him

this morning. I mean, Moody was running
him like a... Hector, listen to

yourself. You got a horse nobody wants.

You got a rodeo clown for a jockey, and
now you're letting a kid tell you how to

train.

I got to tell you, buddy, you are
wasting your time with Thunder Jam.

My advice, find yourself another horse.

You know, I trained this one.

When I first got him, he couldn't even
run across the street.

People thought I was crazy for taking
him on.

But I worked with him, and I stuck with
him.

And he turned out to be the best
racehorse this track has ever seen.

That was a long time ago, Hector.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I still know a good horse when I see
one.

And I wouldn't ask you if I didn't think
he was ready to run.

I just need the chance to prove it.

All right.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm not a dude.

Second, it's not obvious. Okay, okay. To
be a good jockey, you've got to be one

with the horse.

Well, could he be one with another
horse?

Shut up, TJ.

Don't ask.

See? The tune's how we feel the horse's
rhythms.

Rhythms?

Totally.

Like, for example, Zeppelin.

That's like your basic gallop, right?

Trot.

It's more Pearl Jam.

Now for race day. That's like, that's
like the chili peppers, man. Those dudes

can crank.

Sorry I asked.

No, here, try.

No, no, no.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, many things I want.

But there's really not a lot that I
need.

But when... And I listen to this voice
inside.

Cause I'm ready to run. I'm ready to
fly.

I'm ready to reach my dreams and touch
the sky. Now I can sing.

Now I believe.

If I just listen to my heart.

Keep talking to me cause I can hear you.
I can hear.

Want coffee?

Yeah, please.

Dude, you can run, but you cannot hide.
Hey, Mom. Hi. Mr. Machado, we've got to

talk. So talk.

Is TJ ever going to get a shot or what?

Yeah, it's like we're growing old here.

No offense, Mr. Machado. I told you I'd
enter TJ in a race when I thought he was

ready. He's ready. Dude, he's got the
gait down. He's got the speed. He's got

the skill. Who do you like Saturday in
the fourth?

Are you even listening? Come on. Who do
you like?

I'm thinking the seven horse.

I gotta get in uniform. We're racing.
Moody, not till Saturday.

Bummer, dude.

Cyclone.

Fastest, meanest horse on the West
Coast.

14 starts and 10 wins.

Now watch, watch, watch. Watch what he's
gonna do over here.

You see that? Now watch number two. You
see that block?

Right there. That's when you got to move
on the inside. That's what you got to

anticipate. You got to anticipate that
move.

So what's he doing racing here?

Well, Garris must be prepping him for a
bigger payday.

We got to keep TJ away from him. He's
bad news.

Like owner, like horse.

Yeah.

Mr. Machado, can I ask you something?

Sure. What is it with you and Mr.
Garris?

Oh, it's just a friendly rivalry.

No.

Friends shake hands and say, how's the
family?

Not nice tie. Can I choke you with it?

Well,

I used to train for them. No way.

You worked for the mad meat grinder?

When I was young and hungry, Garris had
great horses.

It was my chance to train a champion.

We had a fallout, that's all.

Over what?

You know, I...

He

had a colt.

It was a great horse with speed to burn.

The morning of a race, I noticed his
hoof was heating up.

The vet did his check, but he missed it.

Now, I wanted to scratch the horse right
away, but Garris wouldn't let me. He

told me if the vet could overlook it, I
should too.

But you can't put a rider on a horse
like that. It's like asking for trouble.

That's what I told Garris.

So what'd you do?

I quit.

I tried to warn the jockey, but it was
too late. He was already at the gate.

The horse was leading by a length in the
stretch.

When he, uh, went over the rail.

Mandeville.

My dad was on that horse.

He was a good man, Corey.

And a great rider.

He, uh, always knew exactly what to do,
just the right time.

He knew horses like no one else.

He used to tell me he knew what they
were thinking.

He once told me...

He knew what they were saying.

You know, Corey, I... I tried to stop
him,

but... You did what you could, Hector.

It wasn't your fault.

Mom.

I thought this might be a late night.

We won't be much longer, really, Mom.

You don't know your trainer.

He and your father used to stay up all
night before a race.

trying to find any advantage.

I was just company.

It was your dad who always found a way
to win.

Well, I hope you find a way to win
tomorrow.

Me too.

Mom, come to the race tomorrow?

I don't think so, Corita.

I have a lot of memories there.

It would really mean a lot to me.

Perhaps another time.

But you were right about Hector.

He's a great trainer.

And you should listen to him.

Well, I guess we should just call it a
night.

Have some coffee.

We're going to be here for a while.

All right.

What's the matter?

Don't like coat pants?

Hope I can stay in the saddle. I feel
like I'm wearing a slipper fly.

So now you're racing horses other people
throw out.

How low can one man sink?

You tell me.

Just keep your horse out of the way.

The slow ones tend to get run over.

Okay, California pride number three.

Thunder Jam, you're up.

So how are you feeling today, TJ?

Never better.

Great. I feel like I got wings.

If it isn't my old friend Thunder Jerk.

Cyclone, say your prayers. I think I'm
gonna barf.

Corey, we gotta move.

Pete, give us a sec.

Okay, but make it fast. Cyclone in the
number seven hole.

And to think your old man won the derby.
What a joke.

Forget about him. He's messing with your
head. He knows you're a threat.

Ah, but he's right.

I'm no threat. I'm a joke.

Only if you don't try.

You know, you two have a very freaky
relationship.

Look, you've got all it takes to be
great in here.

You've just got to believe it up here.

Last chance, Corey. It's now or never.

What's it going to be?

Okay, okay. I'll try.

Come on. My stealth moves into the
starting gate. The co -long shot with

Jam. Good girl. Let's get him into the
gate.

Cyclone moves into post position number
six.

a one -to -three favorite, the money
going to him all morning long.

Here comes Thunder Jam, looking a little
Tennessee.

Okay.

All right.

Hey, let's see what you're made of,
loser.

I can do this. I can do this.

Let's get him out of the gate.

You are toast, Thunder Jam.

I can't do this. Yes, you can. Don't
listen to him.

Showtime, Hollywood here.

I'm Malfictory.

Let's get it on.

Somebody, please, get me out of here.

The flag is up.

Please, somebody, have mercy.

I want out. Get me out of here.

Hang on.

Certainly nothing a little rest won't
cure.

Okay, that's quite a scare.

Too lousy.

Try to get pressure off her leg. I'll
take him in a couple of days. All right,

thank you, Lucy.

See, he's going to be okay, Corey.

No. I just want to hang with him until
he settles down.

I understand.

Sorry, Corey.

Take care of him, okay?

So how do you feel? Like I...

Let you down. Not a chance. You ran
great.

Well, thanks to you and the music. You
like that, huh?

Are you kidding?

I loved it. It totally soothed me. It
got me into the groove.

You're crazy.

Whoa.

You heard the vet. No pressure on that
leg, and I'm pretty sure that means no

dancing. Now, come on. Lay down, and
I'll get something on it.

Will it sting?

Will I get ice cream for this? Yeah.

Come down. All the way down.

That's right.

Come on. All the way.

Sit. Come on.

There you go.

Good job.

Don't get too used to it. You got it.

Yeah.

La confianza de caballos.

Come on, Crumpet. Get out of the way.

Oh, that's cold.

Oh, that's cold. You're going to put
some more?

Feels good, though.

Hey, good morning, CJ.

Hi, Cory. How's he doing?

Better, actually.

He's not as tender today. Good, good.
He's going to be great. You say we take

him out for a longer day.

You're not going to believe this. Check
it out.

Oh, look at that. Oh, my gosh.

Way to go, TJ.

Good boy.

That feels good.

I'm going to get you wet.

Walk out.

I've always loved this party.

It's been a while since you came to one.

Well, it's been a while since I had a
reason.

You've done a great job, Victor.

No, it's easy with a horse like TJ.

No, I mean Cordy.

Everything you've done for her.

This means the whole world to her.

You, uh...

You remember that woman I spoke to the
other day?

I remember.

You think she'd like to dance?

Why don't you ask her?

everybody's attention, please.

I think we all pretty much agree that
it's been a really exciting season

to a crazy horse named Thunder Jam.

Let's face it, it's been a long time
since anything this good has happened at

Sonora. Corey, Moody.

about TJ, I owe you an apology.

Let's bring up the chairman of Sonora
Downs, Mr. Bob Beathard.

Now, Hector, I know it's usually the
trainer's job to determine when and

his horse will race, but this afternoon
I took the liberty of entering TJ in a

race. I hope you won't mind.

TJ's on a roll.

We'll take on any horse.

Well, these aren't just any horses.

I've entered you in the Gold Rush Derby.
Are you kidding me?

No. Now, hold on, Corey.

Now, Mr. Bethel, the derby's the day
after tomorrow.

You're saying you can't get him ready?

Well, no. I mean, he's ready now, but...
I've talked to Santa Clarita Racetrack

myself. With all the publicity
surrounding T .J., they think you'll be

for the race.

T .J. will do great!

What do you say? I say we go for it!
Yes, sir!

I disagree.

People want to see him. He's fun.

He's exciting.

You could learn something from him.

It's going to take more than headphones
to win the gold rush, Hector.

You're right.

It takes heart.

Something you don't know anything about.

Excuse me.

Don't worry, Mr. Garth.

Cyclones beat him before.

He can do it again.

And I have this dance.

I

can't

believe we're going to the Derby. I
know.

Bummer, huh?

Bummer? This is like a dream come true.

Yeah, for me, maybe.

But what about you?

Were you born this weird, or did those
circus elephants step on your head?

Cory, compadre, it's me, Moody. You
don't have to sandbag me.

What are you talking about?

Okay, it's cool that TJ's in the derby
and all, you know?

But come on, who would you rather have
riding him?

Me or you?

I know what it's like to want a shot and
nobody will give it to you.

I just want you to know that I think
you're a really good rider.

Thanks, Marty.

It means a lot to me.

Ah, how sweet.

You remember me.

Looks like I was wrong about you.

Maybe you are worth more than a... A bag
of peanuts.

No one makes a fool out of me.

I've never told anyone this before,
but... I can...

I can talk with horses.

Well, that's cool. I used to talk to my
hamster.

Did it talk back?

Are you crazy?

Yeah.

Let's see how you run when the music
stops.

It's the same thing.

Only in horse racing, there's no threat
of being munched by a tiger.

What's that?

There'll be other races after Moody's
hands appeal. Not like this one.

And find yourself another jockey.

Well, there isn't enough time.

Come on, Mom. I can do this. I can ride.
I'm ready.

Moody, stop.

I'm sorry.

I wanted this as much as you did.

Mr. Machado.

Well, she's good.

Maybe even better than her father, but
we gotta do what your mom wants.

Please, Mom. I'm ready. You may be ready
to ride, Kurita.

But I am not ready to let you. But what
about what I want?

You won't be able to stand in her way
forever.

She was born for this.

I know how disappointed you were.

You worked so hard for this.

We had a dream.

We were all going to do something great
together.

It wasn't supposed to end this way.

I remember saying that when your father
died.

But then I had a feeling.

Maybe nothing ended after all.

Not completely.

Every time I look at you, I see your
father.

You have his eyes, his passion.

As much as I've tried not to believe it,
you have a

wonderful gift.

I think I've known it for a long time.

I kept trying to ignore it.

I can't do that anymore.

I cannot stand in the way of you and
your gift.

I want you to have these.

Dad's racing.

He would want you to wear them.

In the derby.

I can ride.

I can ride.

I can ride.

That's what you want? Yes.

This is unbelievable. I have to go tell
Moody and Mr. Machado. I already told

them. They're waiting for you in the
barn.

Thanks, Mom.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much.

That's everything.

Dude, we're missing something.

What? Our secret weapon.

And with care.

Thanks.

But what if I'm not ready?

Will you stop worrying?

I'm not going to let anything happen to
you. No, I mean, it's not like I've

ridden in a real race.

You're a natural.

There's a big difference between a
workout and a race.

You've got all you need to be great.

In here.

You've just got to believe it. Up here.
You are one nutty horse.

Okay.

Ready for your road trip?

Let's go.

I think I have everything. I hope I
didn't forget anything.

We're going for one night. I have
restaurants in Santa Clarita. Oh,

goody. Road trip.

Ah, we broke out the most important...

I thought it was going to explode.
Which, by the way, reminds me, do you

how many potholes there are between here
and Sonora? How many?

A thousand and two. Not counting the
ones he missed. Oh, brother.

I think your father would be very proud.

The horses are up for the running of the
45th Gold Rush Derby.

A spectacular day as fans gather for a
racing premiere event.

Hurry up, Crumpy. We're going to miss
the start of the race.

Just pull the latch.

Pull it.

Thank you, Crumpy. Of course.

Oh, a late breaking piece of news.

stewards have ruled that Thunder Jam
will not be allowed to race with his

trademark headphones.

This could be a serious setback for the
upstart horse.

This is just, it's crazy.

The rule says no electronic device can
be used to increase the performance of a

horse. The rule means you can't shock a
horse to make them run faster.

I know, that was the intent.

You didn't change the ruling.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can do.

What do you

say?

Well, there won't be any headphones, not
in this race.

What are you talking about, dude?

Garris filed a complaint.

So what do we do?

Well, we could race him without the
headphones or...

Not racing at all.

Now, Corey, this is your call. TJ's your
horse.

Actually, this one's not my call.

TJ's.

TJ's.

So what do you say, TJ?

We've all worked too hard, and we've
come too far to quit now.

So what do you say?

Let's ride!

Okay.

Yeah!

All right, now listen. Now, we know how
Garris likes to run Cyclone, so let's

not make the same mistake twice.

Now, Cyclone likes to get out front
early, so stay with him if he can.

Now, if TJ gets too close to him on the
outside, Cyclone's going to want to

block him. So when he does, duck inside
and get right to the rail, okay?

I think so.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Now listen, I don't know if you can hear
me or not, but if you can, hear this.

If anything happens to that girl, I'll
shoot you myself. You got that?

Okay, have a great race.

Thanks.

It's about time you got here. What took
you so long? Hey, it ain't easy working

with a goat. No offense, Crumpy.

Hey guys, time to start betting. Who
wants to be a millionaire?

Hector, welcome to the big leagues.

Let me give you some advice.

Keep your horse out of the way.

Slow ones tend to get run over.

Waiting on Cyclone and Thunderjam.

Keep us aboard.

Thunderjam today replacing the regular
jockey, P. Moody, who has been sidelined

with an injury.

This is it, huh? Yeah.

It's going to be great.

There'll be no mercy this time, Thunder
Blunder. You are mine.

All mine.

Don't listen to him, Cory. He's just
messing with our heads.

You are going down, Thunder Jam. Oh, you
are not down. I'm not going down.

And now, the flag is up.

I'll be right back, Mr. Machado.

Poor Thunder Jam.

Oh, man, I knew that Thunder Bucket
would mess this up.

Look, guys, is it too late to change the
bed?

46 and 2 for the first half mile.
Testing pace as they go into the final

Excuse me, dear.

Hope you can hear this, TJ.

You've just got to believe it up here.

I hate that horse.

Good job, TJ!

We did it, Corey!

We did it!

She is the daughter of the great, great
Carlos Ortiz. What a

brilliant partnership there. Corey

Ortiz and Thunder Jam. I told him
everything he knows. I said, just do it

way I said.

See, we were training together on the
track.

Congratulations.

Come on. They did it.

Congratulations. They did it.

Thank you. I've waited a long time

for this. Here you go, Corey.

I love you.

I hate this mushy stuff. Let's see that
trophy.

And this is where the fireplace will be.
This house must have cost a lot to

choose, Pip.

Ay, Corita.

It's everything your father dreamed of.

That's for the music.

Mori, can you turn that down?

Booty! All right, dudes, let's get ready
to run.

Okay, come on, fellas, now. You've got
to be at one with the music. Here we go.

Three, four, five. Oh, yeah, everybody
in the place. Just come on live.
