Plot Synopsis

Chronicles the lives and careers of seven 112-pound jockeys and their 1,200-pound horses at Santa Anita Race Track in California. Cameras go behind the scenes from their homes to the jocks room at the track where they prepare both physically and mentally for each race. Nearly 10 times a day during the famous 30-day Oak Tree Meet at the Santa Anita Race Track, the world's most skilled jockeys and the boldest thoroughbreds line up at the gate to compete for big bucks or go home broke, risking life and limb in their quest for glory. Competition comes from across the country and the world in search of elusive winnings all for the love of horse racing. Minutes before the race, the jockeys clad in their colorful silks mount up. They sometimes have as little as 10 minutes to bond with their horses, each relying on the other for success and survival.
