IN MY OPINION, HE DRIVES A LITTLE BIT TOO FAST.

AND YOU CAN TELL HIM THAT IF HE DOESN'T SLOW DOWN,

YOU WON'T BE GOIN' ANYWHERE WITH HIM. OK?

AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT,

ISN'T THAT SKIRT A LITTLE BIT TOO SHORT?

OH, HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.

WOULD HE?

WHY DO YOU EVEN WANT TO RIDE AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO MOM?

I'M GLAD DAD SOLD TWISTER TO BLAKE.

I HATE THAT HORSE.

IT WASN'T TWISTER'S FAULT.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN A SHAME NOT TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

WATCH THE BRANCH, VIRGINIA.

[Stormy snorts]

[Virginia] I RODE WITH DAD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SO LONG.

HE BORROWED CHARLEY FROM MR. TUCKER.

STORMY'S PULSE HIT 129, BUT CAME RIGHT BACK DOWN AFTER 5 MINUTES.

HE'S GOING TO BE READY.

PERSONALLY, YOURS TRULY FEELS LIKE ONE BIG KNOT.

DAD GOT ME ON WHAT HE CALLS "BOOT CAMP SCHEDULE."

3 MORE WEEKS UNTIL THE RACE.

[car approaching]

[car door opening]

IT'S WEIRD SEEING DAD AND JESSIE TOGETHER.

I HAVE A PREMONITION ABOUT IT, BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD ONE.

YOU PICK A 10-MILE STRETCH IN THE RACE, THEN YOU MAKE YOUR MOVE.

THE IDEA IS TO BURN OUT THE PACK AROUND YOU

SO THAT YOU PUT ENOUGH DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND THEM,

SO THEY CAN'T CATCH UP WITH YOU.

DUST 'EM OFF. GOT IT?

GOT IT.

[Virginia] COME ON.

VIRGINIA, GO!

HIS NAME IS STORMY. HE'S NOT AFRAID OF YOUR STUPID HORSE.

OH, NO? YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

WHAT ARE YOU DWEEBS LAUGHIN' AT?

LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE HE CAN DO.

HOW ABOUT A RACE DOWN TO THE TRACKS?

[Stormy neighing]

OH.

OOH, THE 1:00 TRAIN.

MAKES THINGS INTERESTING.

SOME OTHER DAY, DARROW.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU GOTTA GET PERMISSION FROM YOUR MOMMY?

STORMY'S READY. I THINK I AM, TOO.

AND SOMEHOW, I JUST KNOW THAT MOM WILL BE WATCHING.

[Virginia] STORMY!

[Virginia] HE COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN OUT, DAD.

EVEN IF I LEFT THE DOOR WIDE OPEN, HE WOULD'VE STAYED IN TILL I GOT HIM.

DON'T WORRY. HE CAN'T HAVE GONE FAR. HE'S AROUND SOMEWHERE.

DAD, HE WAS STOLEN, AND YOU KNOW IT.

THE TIRE TRACKS, AND YOU KNOW IT.

WHO WOULD STEAL A HORSE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM?

DARROW.

DARROW? HE MAY BE A SPOILED BRAT,

BUT STEALING HORSES IS WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE.

LOOK, I WHIPPED HIS BUTT IN A RACE THE OTHER DAY. HE'S AFRAID OF ME AND STORMY.

LOOK, HE DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE.

RACING?

YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS RACING, ESPECIALLY THAT IDIOT.

LOOK, I'M SORRY. I--I SHOULDN'T HAVE. BUT HE...

CAROLINE, I THINK YOU SHOULD STAY WITH YOUR SISTER.

DAD, I'VE GOT A HAIR APPOINTMENT AND I CAN'T CANCEL IT.

HE'S SO PATHETIC. HE SPILLED EVERYTHING.

MY GOD! THE RACE. IT--IT STARTS AT NOON.

THAT-- THAT'S 45 MINUTES. WHERE'S DAD?

HE DROPPED ME OFF AND SPLIT. I THINK HE'S STILL LOOKING.

THE COURSE IS MARKED WITH THE CUSTOMARY WHITE FLAGS

THERE WILL BE 2 VET CHECKS, WHERE YOUR HORSE'S PULSE WILL BE TAKEN

AND OVERALL FITNESS TO CONTINUE WILL BE ASSESSED.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ROUTE WILL TAKE YOU OUT OF TOWN

AND CONTINUE TO THE BARRENS WHERE VET CHECK ONE WILL BE.

AFTER LEAVING THE FIRST VET CHECK,

YOU WILL BE LOOPING AROUND THE COUNTRYSIDE,

DOUBLING BACK OVER THE BARRENS AND THE ROUTE TO THE FINISH.

YOU MAY CONSULT YOUR MAPS IF YOU ARE UNCLEAR AT ANY TIME.
