Midnight Stallion Page #5

The property is not for sale.

Not yet anyway.

All right, I was just

gonna take a few pictures,

but I can see

this isn't a good time. So, um...

you folks have yourselves

a nice day, alright?

Where?

Well, my friend?

I may have really done it this time.

No pressure.

I just want you to know,

it's all on the line.

All of it.

Everything I love in life.

Rita,

Megan,

my daddy's ranch,

the whole shebang,

and a whole lot more.

Anyway, you know

what they say about...

putting all your eggs in one basket.

Midnight's smart, but I don't think

he gets the analogy, Dad.

He does.

If Midnight could talk,

he'd tell you how proud he is of you.

Just like Mum and I.

He won't let you down, Dad.

It's not him I'm worried about.

I'm the one who got us in this mess.

And now I'm talking to a horse,

ask him to get me out of it.

You go inside and

give your Mum a hand.

I'll be there before

she flips her bacon.

Mum! Mum!

Dad's hurt! Hurry!

I can't lift it.

- I can't breathe, get your Mum.

- Come on Mum, too heavy!

Oh no! Jack!

Jack, I am here, I am there.

Use Midnight.

Get a rope.

Do it!

Oh.

Come on.

I got it.

Okay, Jack.

Just hang on.

Pull!

Pull, Midnight!

Pull!

Pull, Midnight!

Pull!

Pull!

Pull, Midnight.

Come on!

Come on!

I thought I lost you, Jack.

No.

I've got more important things

to do than to die, honey.

But you might have lost that baby.

What?

Go.

You need a real doctor, Jack.

You got at least three cracked ribs

and a hairline fracture to your wrist.

Could get worse.

You're a real doctor , AJ, and a friend.

Besides, a real doctor doesn't

give you a sugar cube when you're done.

Easy.

I just can't have Chaney finding out

about this before I figure out what to do.

What to do?

You have to tell him you can't do the race.

He'll understand in your condition.

- He's not..

- He'll take it all, Rita

I sort of bet the farm.

Yeah, yeah, I've heard.

Look, Rita's right,

You family needs you in one piece.

Then I ride Midnight.

No.

It's too dangerous.

- I won't allow it.

- So, you're just gonna give up?

Let Chaney take it all?

You're gonna give him Midnight?

I said no.

I hope you have a plan.

I've got to talk it over with Midnight.

He'll know what to do.

Talk it over w-with-with a horse?

Sounds like you're gonna need

more than a regular doctor.

I never should have brought

you here in the first place.

Using you in this crazy sting.

Making you some easy

taking out this mess that's

done nothing but

put my family in a place

that's up to me to find the way out of.

I can only do that, thank to you.

I owe you my life, Midnight.

I've come to return the favor.

It's okay.

Midnight.

I know you can hear me.

I need your help.

I know what my Dad did

was the right thing.

And...

I would never do anything

to hurt you in any way.

But,...

I really need you right now.

Midnight!

Midnight, you heard me.

You really heard me, didn't you?

Well, listen up...

because I'm not done yet.

Sit.

Did you take your pills?

Ah, they were like horse pills.

They were horse pills.

Where is Megan?

Hmm, somewhere by the barn.

You could have let her say goodbye.

I didn't plan it,

I just did it.

Seemed like the wrong thing to do,

consider the alternatives.

It's hard enough as it was.

You think she wants to come with me

when I break the news to Chaney.

Well, if I were you, I ask her.

When you've done and eat.

That's orders.

So, you're just gonna tell him that

Midnight up and took off

and you expect him to believe that?

More than I expect you to believe that

the horse and I have a heart-to-heart talk.

He decided he rather run away

than to live with Chaney.

Megan?

Megan!

Oh no...

Who's standing ther

right by your side,

Gets to get lost in your eyes,

Hold your hand,

Put a smile on your perfect face,

Who gets to carry you away,

every single day

When that picture

that you picture comes true,

I want to be in it with yyoouu.....

I want to be in it with yyoouu.....

I want to be in it with yyoouu.....

Every minute

I want to be in it with yyoouu.....

Okay, let's have a big hand

for Aaron Pritchett's band

and rocking start for today's big race.

Ladies and gentlemen,

boys and girls, on your mark.

Vic Vickers here from

Tallahassee, Florida

to call the first annual Brett Chaney's

Chaney Bank Milner Classic.

Please, turn your attention to

the Chaney Bank mega-screen

Get ready in sets for a

good old country race.

This is a 3-mile course with

enough hazards and obstacles

to test the mental of the most

skilled horses and the riders.

And we are proud to welcome competitors

sequestering to win and all,

of all or some this way of horse

quest sample here today,

to inaugurate the first annual

Chaney Bank Milner Classic.

Nice try, darling,

but you can't do that.

I am the registered rider.

Actually, Mr. Shepard, anyone can ride.

You registered the horse.

No, it is too dangerous.

We won't allow it, absolutely not.

Ross, you go find your father.

Now! Go!

I'm racing him, Dad.

Midnight won't let

anything bad happen to me.

He's part of our family.

He saved you, Dad.

Dad, you have to talk to Jack Shepard.

There's a problem.

He broke his arm and Megan is

insisting that she rides in the race.

That could be a blessing.

What are you talking about?

I need you to ride our entry,

Steeler, in the race.

What?

Why?

My jockey is no show.

Little creep called, he still in out route.

By the sound of his voice,

he's half-asleep or worse.

We have no one else, and

the race starts in less than 20 minutes.

I can't, I mean...

Why not, you're an excellent rider?

You're Chaney, Ross.

You can't back down when things get tough.

Brett, he doesn't want to race

against the Shepard girl.

Ride for the family name, Ross.

He'll take care of me.

I mean, if you don't believe me...

just ask him.

I'm holding you to that.

I think you just got your answer.

It's important, honey.

For all of us.

Someone has to ride Steeler,

otherwise we have to withdraw.

- Yes.

- Thank you, thank you.

I love you both.

We're gonna win this, Dad.

- Midnight's gonna win this.

- Well, Jack intents

to carry on his father's tradition by

trying to control an extraordinary

wild stallion named Midnight.

Number 2,

Martin Gainstamny rides Dixie Mae.

One more thing,

you get any ideas,

Chaneys don't lose.

And number one,...

our most prestigious entry

all the way from Chattanooga, Tennessee

Bixby Racing, the pride and joy: Steeler.

I must say, if this horse runs

anything like he looks,

well, he could be the one to beat.

Steeler will be ridden by

champion jockey...

Hold, hold on, hold on.

We have a rider change here.

Uh, Steeler made his mark

as undefeated wonder horse,

making it all the way

in the Kentucky Derby

where he made a stunning debut

racing half a length behind

the triple treat " In the Meadow ".

Okay, here is the update:

As a special note,

Brett Chaney doubles the prize money
