Y'all ready?

Ah!

There.

Ugh!

Let's head 'em up, move 'em out.

And

in your eyes when we're together

That look says more than

words could ever say

You know I hate to tell you

that I'm leaving

Yeah, like flies to sh*t.

Don't breathe it in.

Are you kidding me?

Hmm.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, Bird.

Damn it! I left a bag in Mark's rig.

My lunch was in there.

Aw, I guess you're gonna have to eat

real food like the rest of the world.

You call that real food?

It's gonna take two days.

Well, we ain't got two days.

I gotta get the part.

That's gonna take a day.

Then another one to put it in.

That's the best I can do.

Well?

Make sure you tell 'em we'll be back

for Bird first thing in the morning.

Find out what time

the track opens.

I will.

Make sure that stall has enough

bedding and that it's dry, too.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Oh, make sure he gets

his vitamins.

And put his leg wraps on,

all four of 'em.

I got it already! Would you just

relax and let me handle this?

Geez.

Hey!

Whatever you do,

do not forget to use that stall lock.

Boom!

Don't worry, man.

We're only a day behind ya.

Me and Kelly are gonna take the bikes.

You and Alex keep going.

We'll catch you in Louisville.

How's Bird?

Oh, good.

He's traveling good.

We got him settled in

at the center.

We'll be back on the road

early in the morning.

- And Alex?

- She's still alive.

Hey, where are you?

I'm in Brownfield.

Sounds like a party.

Yeah, well, you know

these little local fillies.

They sure do know

how to be hospitable.

Listen, I gotta go.

We'll holler at you

when we get into town.

Have a great trip.

Oh, yeah, you bet...

See you in a couple days.

You don't expect me to stay

in this hell hole, do you?

What's the matter with it?

What's it gonna be?

By the hour or overnight?

Hmm?

Oh!

Oh, finally.

I see you have the luxury suite.

What do you want?

I don't suppose you have some

toothpaste I could smear on my teeth.

Hmm.

Y'all have a nice night.

Wow, you look great.

Thank you.

Here.

I got you breakfast.

What in the hell is this?

Yogurt. I'm sure you've never

had it before, but

you're gonna love it.

Hey, thanks for the help.

It says here we're less than

50 miles out of Texarkana.

Shouldn't we have turned

north by now?

Jesus, do I have

to do everything?

Let me see that.

Where exactly...

Damn it!

Ow!

What the hell's the matter with you, huh?

You almost got us killed!

I nearly got us killed?

You're the one who can't freaking drive!

Well, if you could read a map,

none of this would have happened!

You nearly drive us into the grill of

an oncoming truck and it's my fault?

Look at that sh*t!

Oh, I suppose

that's my fault too!

Well, it sure as hell

ain't mine!

I got Bird, you get the spare.

Ow!

Oh!

Jesus, Chip!

And don't get lost.

You ain't from around here,

are you?

I know you ain't

from around here.

I know everyone

from around here.

Come on, let's go dance one,

huh? What do you say?

It's my new favorite song.

Bartender came on over

with a shot of his best

Sure. Let's dance one.

Well, all right.

She came waltzing round the corner

"Anybody sittin' here?"

Started takin'

off her glasses and lettin' down her hair

I said, "Thank you

for the drink, ma'am"

You sure know how to move.

She said, "There's certain

things a woman can tell about a man"

Whoo! Yeah!

Do you like the hard kick

of old Kentucky Bourbon

Or the slow burn

of Tennessee Rye

Just when I thought I lost

her in petty conversation

She said,

"Slide over and kiss me"

You smell good. Good.

"I got more than whiskey

in mind"

Hmm, hmm, hmm.

Come here.

Oh.

Stop it.

Come here.

You know you want it.

You love this.

I said stop it!

Let her go.

What's wrong, girl?

You know you want it.

I said let her go.

You ain't from around here,

are you?

So why don't you...

Come on!

I got more than whiskey

in mind

I'm really sorry.

Did you get some sleep?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

We'd better get going.

Bird's waiting.

Whoo!

How'd you get into racing?

My dad.

He always found a racetrack

wherever we were stationed

so he could play the ponies.

I remember the first time

I saw racehorses run.

It's like they had wings.

I'd stand at the rail,

try to imagine what it

felt like to fly like that.

It nearly killed me

when we had to move again.

But I swore

I'd come back someday.

I finally did it

a few months ago.

That's when I met Mark.

He heard I needed a job and he hired me.

I love being around horses.

Especially when I get to ride.

For me there's nothing like it.

Yeah, they get in your blood.

That's for sure.

What are his chances?

Not too good.

Then why are you doing this?

I have run a lot of horses

for a lot of people and

we didn't always come out ahead,

but we paid the bills.

It seemed good enough.

And then Bird come along.

Boy, he made a dreamer out of me.

Out of all of us.

We got a chance to be a part

of something truly great.

To be the best there is.

Maybe we'll look stupid to some,

but life ain't worth much

if all you do is play it safe.

It's about being out there,

taking chances.

Well,

at least we'll know we tried.

We gave it everything we got.

You ready to go, Bird?

I think that's a yes.

You must be the guys

from New Mexico.

Wondered when you were gonna get here.

Yeah, so did we.

Well, not many folks drive their

Derby horses cross country.

Mind if I have a look?

Be my guest.

Not much to him, huh?

Looks can be deceiving.

You got that right.

Well, good luck to you

and welcome to Churchill Downs.

Thank you.

That's Join in the Dance.

He'll have a lot of speed.

Big time basketball player

owns him.

That's Baffert and his wife

with Pioneer of the Nile.

Won four graded stakes in a row.

Been working real good.

Who's that?

That there's Jeff Mullins. He trains I

Want Revenge, the favorite right now.

Joe Talamo's riding him

in his first Derby.

A billionaire from England

owns that one.

Dunkirk.

They paid almost

$4 million for him.

Some sheik's horse is next to us.

Regal Ransom.

And here we are.

This is your new home, Bird.

Good boy.

Hey, who took my razor?

Hey, Jerry, what's up?

Good news, Calvin.

What's that?

You're gonna ride Beethoven

in the Kentucky Derby.

Serious?

Yeah.

Thank you very much. Good job.

Hey, guys, I got my Derby horse!

Hey, congratulations.

Thank you, John.

Appreciate it very much, man.

I appreciate it, Fabio.

Thank you, my man,

appreciate it very much.

Thank you for that, buddy.

Well done, Calvin.

Oh, Pam!

It'll go with the dress

you found.

Oh, gosh, that's cute.

That is really good.

It's cute, right, Daddy?

It's cute.

That's so cute.

Okay.

Mom, look.

Oh.

Oh.

This is exactly what we need.

Mom.

These will do.

We'll paint 'em,

we'll glue on some feathers and flowers.

We'll add a little ribbon.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Mmm-hmm.

Perfect!
