Who doesn't like an underdog tale? A horse that can win races, but is just as likely to lose and a jockey whose fame and fortune took him down a path of depression and drugs looking for redemption - man and mount are both looking for a chance, and did they ever make one heck of a run at things. But demons have a way of catching up, and the legacy leaves a bitter taste. A good 30 for 30 entry that doesn't cut off at the happy ending - but sticks to real life.
