Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

A man's addiction to gambling almost destroys his life in this racetrack adventure. Joe Grange is nearly broke when he buys an ailing colt and brings it back to health. He then turns the horse into a promising champion. During the big race, Joe places a large amount of money upon the horse. It wins him a fortune, but his wife is still unhappy because he has neglected her in favor of his obsession. She takes off and his lucky streak ends. Soon he has nothing left but his retired horse. Desperate for cash, he brings the horse back to the track, wagers one final bet, and hopes for the best.
