Movie Info

Having been in trouble with the law many times throughout his life, Eddie Burton (Casper Van Dien) realizes that he could be risking what matters most...(read more...) in his life - his relationship with his young son Will. As part of a prison work release program, Eddie finds himself at a horse farm and sees it as an outlet to his problems. When a former world-class racehorse named Big Spender arrives at the farm, Eddies new life goes into a dramatic spiral. Big Spender has since become the victim of an abusive owner once he stopped winning races. In fact, he has been left for dead and has lost the drive to live, much less win any race. Now it is Eddie's responsibility to nurse the horse back to good health and hopefully turn him into the champion he once was. In the process, a rather unlikely and loving relationship between man and horse is born. Based on a true story.
