Racing Stripes Page #8

Synopsis: In the middle of a raging thunderstorm, a traveling circus accidentally leaves behind some very precious cargo--a baby zebra. The gangly little foal is rescued by horse farmer Nolan Walsh, who takes him home to his young daughter Channing. Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or "Stripes," as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the farm's misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a cranky Shetland Pony named Tucker and Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. The group is joined by Goose, a deranged big-city pelican who's hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey. The un-aptly named bloodhound Lightening keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm - in between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Turfway Racetrack, where highly skilled thoroughbreds compete for horse racing's top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Crown. From the first m

You're a great racer.

Thanks! So are you.

We left it all on the track, didn't we?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess we did.

I'll see you at the fence?

Yeah. See you.

Great job. You make a lousy gangster,

but you're a stand-up pelican.

Listen, you mug, I...

Hey, that's the nicest thing

a very short horse ever said to me.

Then why don't you stick around here.

We make a pretty good team.

Now, that's an offer I can't refuse.

But first there's something

I gotta take care of.

I demand an inquiry!

- Do you hear me?

- Channing, over here!

That zebra was all over the field!

You listen to me,

I want that zebra disqualified!

Say hello to my little friend.

And I insist that you pay attention to...

To me.

If you'll excuse me.

I know how you feel, honey.

It happened to me.

All I can tell you is rinse, lather and repeat.

Rinse, lather and repeat!

Is there anybody special you'd like

to dedicate today's victory to?

Stripes! Stripes! Over here!

Where's he going?

Okay, Dean, get him.

Get the animals.

You should be in the winner's circle.

We both should be.

I'd be nothing without you.

- Thanks, kid.

- The roses make you look like Elvis.

Very Elvis. Very Elvis '75.

- I'm so proud of you, Stripes.

- Thanks, Sandy.

Coming through! Coming through!

Big winner! Coming through!

Yeah! Catch me, baby, catch me!

Get the good side!

Hey, boy.

- Say cheese!

- Big smile!
