A story of the greatest American race horse and race in America. A freed slave breeds a horse that can run fast with extraordinary endurance. His enslaved son is the horse‘s trainer and caretaker. Freedom for the man is out of reach until a Civil War confrontation. A contemporary grad student finds a dingy horse painting and his research revives the legend, but racism is still only thinly veiled. A slow starter, but worth the journey for 4/5 ⭐️.
