Come on up here, honey.

Be careful. It's
slate rock up here.

It's slippery.

Ralph, I feel like
Cochise crawling around

these rocks like this.

Shh! Keep your voice down.

It carries on the wind up here.

Okay, okay.

There they are,
right over there.

Oh, yeah.

Ooh, that's beautiful.

Beautiful. Get a picture here.

- Honey, look at that one.
- What?

It's that big black stallion.
He was here yesterday.

This must be his herd.

Ralph, nobody owns these horses?

No. They just run around
in these hills. They're free.

- I wish I had that black one.
- He is beautiful, isn't he?

Magnificent animal.

I spotted a herd coming
down the east slope

at Devlin's Ranch.

Head 'em down the east road.

He'd take me out riding.
We'd see these wild horses

occasionally. Very rare, though.

Ralph, what's going on?

- Hyah!
- Hah!

Hey!

Get that stallion.
Forget the rest of 'em.

Get that big, black stallion.

Stay here.

What are you guys
doing? These horses

are protected out here, man!

You just cost us
a lot of money, pal!

Hey! Let go of me!

Get his camera.
Take care of that film.

Let's go.

Some weekend in the country.

We come here for two
days, we walk right into

the last reel of Rio Bravo.

Honey, it's not that
bad. I'm all right.

Well, we're gonna
go by the hospital

and make sure.

I don't want to
go to the hospital.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm positive. All right.

Then we're gonna go
by the sheriff's office.

What are we gonna
do at the sheriff's office?

We got no proof what those guys

we're doing out there.

I've got a whole
roll of film right here.

You were taking pictures?

Oh, honey. Mmm.

You know, them horses
is protected by law.

It was a pretty big operation,

believe me.

Well, good thing
you got 'em on film.

That's quick thinking, ma'am.

Yeah, very good.

Martha, them
photographs ready yet?

Tell me, why would they
want to catch those horses

in the first place?

Well, like I say, they
ain't supposed to.

But I guess they aim to sell
'em to the dog food people.

They get about $40 a head.

Dog food? You gotta be kidding.

No. Hundred head, that's $4,000.

May not sound like a fortune,
but for out-of-work cowboys,

that's pretty good money.

Times is hard.

Martha! Where are them

photographs?

We got... Thank you.

All right, here we go.
Let's take a look at these.

These are real good pictures,

Mrs. Hinkley.

Wait a minute. These
aren't my pictures.

My pictures had horses and dust!

And they were
framed beautifully!

Honey, did you remember
to take the lens cap off?

You know, I don't
know if you people

think it's funny...

to make games with the old

country sheriff,

but I got better things to do.

I was a little too busy to
worry about a lens cap.

I was watching those
beautiful, frightened horses

being rounded up...

- and my husband getting beaten!
- It's all right.

He doesn't care.

It happened. We saw it!

You don't get banged up
like this falling off a horse.

You might.

That was a waste of time.

Uh-uh.

I called Bill.

While you were
giving your statement,

I called him.

He's on his way up here
with the you-know-what.

He is?

Are you kidding? Bill's actually

coming up here to help
us save a bunch of horses?

It's hardly what Bill would term

a suit-class problem.

Well, I didn't tell
him exactly what was

going on here.

What'd you tell him?
I told him that it was

bigger than all of us.

Well, it is, Ralph.

That stallion must
weigh a thousand pounds.

He is going to be so angry.

Oh, well.

No, I am not, kid.

I'm not gonna get mad.

I don't mind doing
a zillion miles...

across the burning sands
of the great Southwest,

because the counselor said
this is bigger than anything

we ever handled.

The counselor doesn't
lie. Right? Right.

She said it was bigger

than both of us.

Uh, actually, what
I said was that it's,

uh, bigger than all of us.

There! You see
there? She said it again.

I got nothing to worry
about. Okay, what you got?

Can't be sea monsters,
because this is a desert.

- Now, what is it? What you got?

- Let me start at the beginning.
That's a good place to start.

Pamela and I thought it would
be a good idea if we came out

to the prairie for a few days.

That's right, Bill.
You should try it.

Clean air, out of the city.

All right, I'm out of the
city. I got the fresh air

and all that stuff.

"Bigger than all
of us put together."

Let's get to that part, fast.

Bill, as you know, wildlife is

a precious commodity.

- Much like gold or
silver. It's protected by law.

- That's right. Go on, honey.

You did it to me
again, didn't you?

I don't believe it. You
suckered me out here.

You yanked me out here
to bring you the jammies so

we could dig up sick gophers...

or some darn fool thing.

- That's it, right?
Tell me the truth!

- Why don't you tell him?

No! You're doing great.

Um...

Pamela and I were taking
pictures in the canyon

not too far from here...

and we spotted a herd of
wild mustangs... most gorgeous

things you've ever seen.

Oh, I don't believe this!
We're gonna save wild horsies?

Yeah, that's right, Bill.

We're gonna try to
save some wild horses.

That's why we asked
you to maybe help us.

We got wild horses out there
that are gonna be slaughtered

and turned into dog food!

Dogs gotta eat too.

Sick, Bill. Thanks for the suit.

- Thank you very much.
- Okay, kid.

Come on. Bad joke.
Bad joke. Okay, Ralph?

Those horses are
federally protected.

That makes it your job.

That's right, Bill.
Those horses are

federally protected.

That makes it your
job! I don't believe

this is happening to me.

Well, if I can catch that
horse, I'll bring him back.

Okay, anything
gets us out of here

a little sooner.

Good luck, honey.

Whoa!

Come here, boy.

You and I are gonna be friends.

Yeah. Gonna be friends.

Oh, yeah.

This is bananas!

I'm telling you,
this is absolutely

crab-o-bananas!

Bill, somebody stole
those mustangs and

we're gonna find 'em.

Come on. Admit it, Bill.

This kind of stuff is exciting.

If we can save 15
mustangs, you're gonna feel

real good about it.

Yes, I am.

But my boss, whose
name is Carlisle,

is gonna have me
stuffed, mounted

and kibbled.

He is not gonna
understand about this caper.

Okay! Okay, already!

I'm doing it. All
right? Just relax.

Drop me off at
the sheriff's office.

Oh! Nice horse.

He's a beauty, isn't he?

Yeah.

Watch yourself.

Howdy.

Saw you come in
with that stallion.

Somebody finally caught him.

- Who does he belong to?
- It's hard to say.

Justin King caught him once
about a couple years back,

but he got away.

- He's got no brand on him?
- No.

Then I guess he belongs to you.

Been running around these
hills around three years.

People around here
call this horse Desperado,

on account of there's
a price on his head,

just like an outlaw.

What do you mean?

The biggest rancher in
this valley is Justin King.

He owns the Triple Crown Ranch.

He owns almost everything else

in town too.

Mr. King put up a reward
for this stallion... $1,000 to

anybody who could bring him in.

Uh, h-he's not for sale.

What are we gonna do, lay
some hay in the guest room?

Where did he come from?
Fine-looking animal like this

doesn't just happen.

He's got good bloodlines.

Maybe some horse racing
people tried to smuggle him in...

to beat the animal
regulations and he got away.

- Maybe we should
have him quarantined.

- Oh, I don't think so.

This horse is a
naturalized citizen.

Been running around
loose here for three years,

standing guard over
that herd of mustangs.

They didn't get sick,
so I guess he's okay.

You want to register the horse?

- I got the forms inside.
- Yes.

You might wanna think
about entering him in that race

over at the fair tomorrow.

It's a $5,000 purse.

Uh, hello there.

Bill Maxwell,
F.B.I., Los Angeles.

I'd like to see the sheriff,

and I'd like to use
the telephone too,

if I could.

I'm Martha Wells. I'm just on

the switchboard here.

Sheriff Pitlick is
up county right now,

and Deputy Adams
is out answering

a complaint...

about Terry Sherman's
21st birthday party

at the Elks Lodge.

Them boys was breakin'
up a bunch of furniture.

Sure sorry to hear about that.

I understand a Ralph Hinkley
come in here yesterday,

made a complaint...

and got treated like a graduate

of the laughing academy.

Well, he claimed
mustangs is bein' stole,

and he had no proof.

Well, this particular bunch
of horses is protected

by this particular fed.

I'll make this collect.

So, you tell the sheriff
that I'm staying out at

the Retreat Ranch, cabin six.

Hold it!

Hold it!

Whoa, you knot-head!

Hey! Whoa!

Hey! Stop that! Whoa!

Oww!

Wh...

Whoa, boy!

Yeah. Saw that goin'
by in the sky there.

What do we got here,
the stardust twins, right?

- That's one of the guys who
was stealing the mustangs.

- Really?

- What did you do
with the horsies, boys?

- Drop dead, Wyatt.

Uh-oh. We got a real
tough hombre here, Ralph.

How'd you like
a trip to the moon

on gossamer wings?

A little high fly-by
for these guys?

What do you think, Ralph?

Ooh! Let's go for a ride.

Okay?

Just go with the flow.

You're not gonna like this,
what you're gonna see now, pal,

but, uh, bear it in mind.

What are you, a nutcase?

Think you some
kind of super guy?

So, tell me... you want smoking

or nonsmoking?

Nonsmoking?

And every seat's a window seat.

Let's go.

Contact!

Hey!

Put me down!

Where are we going?

I'm afraid of heights!

Now, do you wanna tell
me where those horses are?

Yeah.

In a corral somewhere
on the Triple Crown Ranch.

But they probably
already been shipped out.

Where to?

Uh... Boy, it's a long way

down there, isn't it?

- A long way!
- Food processing plant!

Food processing plant!

Ohh! You know,

you are just scum!

Wh... Who are you, the
lady from the S.P.C.A.?

They're just horses.
They're just horses.

That's all!

Well, those horses are
protected by law, partner.

They're protected by law!

You ain't got nothin'
on us. You can't have us

arrested for nothin'!

Well, in that case, you
have a nice trip back down.

All right?

Wait. Wait. What are you doin'?

Whoa! Wait!

Help! Whoa!

Howdy.

- So, you folks got
Desperado, eh?

How in the world did
you manage to do that?

How can we help you, partner?

I'm Justin King,
Triple Crown Ranch.

I want to buy that horse.

I been wantin' to
buy that horse now

for two years.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What the hell are
you doing, mister?

Mr. King, you'd be
a whole lot better off

moving along.

You got yourself a dead horse.

Okay, so I'm gettin'
more and more interested.

And no, I don't like
him. And yes, you got

a real smart horse here.

You're being silly, Ralph,
coming on like the third reel

of My Friend Flicka.

If we enter Desperado in
the race at the fairgrounds,

we win $5,000,

we can buy back the mustangs
from the slaughterhouse.

They only gave $40 a head.

Unless you'd rather explain
40 wild mustangs on your

expense voucher, Bill.

Oh, boy.

The two of you out here
communing with the fleas

and the flies for five minutes,

and all of the sudden we're
the Sons of the Pioneers.

Whoo!

That don't make him
a racehorse, Ralph.

He's great.

Drop it, or get wasted.

Hold still.

- Don't sh**t!
- Throw it in the bush.

Load him up.

Still hang horse thieves
this part of the country?

No, but we sure sh**t
nosy city folk and leave 'em

in the desert for the buzzards.

- Not gonna steal my horse.
- We already did.

If you try to follow
us, we'll sh**t him.

Ralph, aren't you
gonna go after them?

He said he'd k*ll Desperado.

Yeah, but King went
to an awful lot of trouble

to get his hands on that horse.

- You think they meant it?
- I don't know, Bill.

You saw his face.

I think that's what this
whole thing is about...

King wants to k*ll Desperado.

Mr. Hinkley, we
got people lived here

all their lives...

ain't filed as many
complaints as you have

in the last 24 hours.

Well, forgive me for saying,
Sheriff, but I think that's

because everybody around here...

is afraid of or being paid off

by Mr. Justin King.

Are you trying to
say I'm being paid off?

- I'm saying you're not
taking much interest in this job!

- Are you trying to say I'm...

Look. We're all upset.

Our horse has been stolen.
We'd like something done.

Bill, is there some way of
communicating with this man

that I can't get a grasp on?

Ralph, the guy made the report.

Filed it yesterday. Here it is.

I don't see how anybody
could have done any more.

Counselor, you need to take up

a new hobby real quick,

'cause, uh, these shots...

look like pictures
of the inner workings

of Villicana's mind.

Tell you one thing.

If any of King's men did
rustle them wild horses,

they must've been moonlightin'.

They were under
orders from Justin King.

Justin King is one
of the wealthiest men

in the county.

What would he want with
40, 50, even a hundred head

of wild horses?

He doesn't want the horses.
He wants the black stallion

that heads up the herd.

- He did all that
for one stallion?

- Right. He wants to k*ll it.

k*ll it? Where'd you get that?

Well, because he
said so right out in front

of the vet's office.

All right.

But he sure did go to
an awful lot of trouble

for one wild horse...

just so he can k*ll it.

That's crazy. Why would he want

to do that?

Because that's what I want.

Shame to destroy
an animal like that.

You talk about shame?

I'll tell you what a shame is.

You think I've enjoyed
walking around like this...

for two years?

I tried to break that
animal, and he broke me!

It's not as if he
meant to hurt you,

Mr. King.

No one does me over
and gets away with it.

Not even a horse.

Yeah? Mr. King.

Sheriff Pitlick is
here to see you.

He's just coming
through the main gate.

Tell him I'll be right there.

Boys didn't mess up?

No way. Besides, they'll

never find that
corral. All right.

Morning, Sheriff.

Mr. King, sorry
to bother you, sir,

but these are the people
that lost that horse.

Desperado, huh?

Someone finally managed to
catch that one after all these years,

and now he gets stole.

Isn't that a darned shame.

Yeah, it's too bad, all right.

I don't think we've heard of
any rustling on these parts,

not for quite some time.

Mr. King, surely
you must be aware...

of the number of mustangs
that have been disappearing

in this area recently.

My wife and I witnessed
a full-scale rustling

operation yesterday.

Jeeps and trucks, a lot of men.

I'd like to think you're doing
something about that, Sheriff.

Those horses are
protected by law.

I'm working on that matter.

But the reason we're
here, these folks think

that maybe...

some of your boys might've stole

their horse.

Mr. King?

I don't know what
to say, Sheriff.

You don't think some of them...

might've taken your
bounty of a thousand dollars

on that horse's head serious?

I've had a price on
that horse's head

for two years now!

That's when the horse was free!

No, I don't think my boys
would try to wrangle that horse

from Mr. Hinkley,

not after he made a claim on it.

I mean, no horse is
worth going to jail for.

You seemed to want that
horse pretty badly yesterday.

Well, let me tell you
something, ma'am.

There's nothing worse
to get my anger up...

that having the sight of my
brand-new Mercedes-Benz

get kicked in.

That's enough to
get anybody riled up!

Now, what, exactly,
do you want, Sheriff?

Well, Sheriff thought maybe
we might search your property

for the stallion.

Well, I hope you fellas got

a mess of time on your hands.

There's 200,000 acres here.

Well, we might start
with your stables.

Let's just say no.

I wouldn't want
to have to insist.

Matt, let's show these people
that we don't have their horse.

Then let's show 'em out of here.

That's sure a fine-looking
walking stick you got there.

It's new, isn't it?

Don't need it now
as much as I used to.

Seems like you're
getting along real good.

Horse do that to you?

I mean to say, any
particular horse?

Oh, boy, oh, boy, look at that.

That is one
dandy-looking cayuse.

Valiant's my prize.
You running him?

Gonna take him down
to Kentucky next year,

enter him in the derby.

This afternoon he's gonna
do Justin proud by winning

the purse at the fairgrounds.

I've always loved
horses, ever since I was

old enough to ride.

You see,

I have a certain
kinship with 'em.

Yeah, well, my
experience with horses,

just dumb animals.

Dumb you say, eh? They've got

one of the finest instincts of
any animal I ever came across.

A real ability to
sniff out those

who want to cause 'em harm.

A wild stallion...

is one of the meanest
devils you ever come across

if they don't like you too much.

He's not here, hon.

Maybe we were wrong.

No, we're not wrong.

I know he has
him. We'll find him.

Sure sorry if we
put you out any.

That's all right, Sheriff.

Don't know what I'd do
if someone were to try

to steal my stallion.

You racing him again

this year?

Headin' to the fairgrounds
soon as you fellas are gone.

Judging by Valiant, you won't
have any more trouble winning

this year than you did last.

- Well, I don't know. I plan

on winning that race myself.
- Ralph...

Well, unless you're planning
to ride your friend here

across the finish line,

doesn't seem like you
got much of a chance.

See you at the race.

Mr. King, that Desperado
horse is gonna give us trouble

we don't need.

I think we oughta cut him loose.

Cut him loose?
After all the trouble

I went through to get him?

No way.

You still got him
over at the corral?

Held him, just like you said.

All right, let's go.

I'm gonna take care
of that devil personally.

- I don't think you should.
- Why not?

The sheriff's kinda watchin'.
That fed and his friends.

We gotta get to Fargo
or we'll miss the race.

- Can't you let me
have Cal handle it?

- All right. We'll do that.

I want you to tell me
what you and your buddies

were doing rustling mustangs...

on my time and money.

When I told you you could
use the trucks and the Jeeps,

it was to get that stallion,

not to operate your own
cheapjack rustling operation!

Well, we figured
we were out there

and it was easy...

The last thing I need is
to get my tail in a sling...

over a couple thousand
dollars' worth of mustangs.

We went after that
horse and got him!

Leave those mustangs
alone before they trace them

to my ranch.

If anybody don't like it,
they have my number.

I'll pass the word
along, Mr. King.

Truck oughta be headin'
for the slaughterhouse now.

Once it gets in Mexico,
there ain't a damn thing

anybody can do about it.

Well, if you're satisfied, I'm
gonna head on back to town.

I guess I won't be
seeing you folks again...

till you file your
next complaint,

which I hope won't be too soon.

- Would you do me a favor
and take Pamela back to town?

- Sure.

Ralph. Bill and I
are gonna go pick up

a pair of binoculars.

I want you to go the
fairgrounds and see if it's too late

to make an entry in the race.

What are you gonna do,
poke around a little bit?

Yes, I'm gonna poke around

a little bit.

Okay.

Honey... I know.

Be careful. Yes.

And find Desperado. I will.

What can I say?
Elections are coming up.

He's a big influence
around here.

Just blame it on the
F.B.I. Everybody else does.

Bill, I am sorry for
dragging you into

this whole thing, but...

Are you kidding?

We're gonna punch a
hole in this guy's bucket

and drain his worms out.

You just get the duds
on and I'll be waiting

outside the front gate.

This guy just makes me so crazy!

Yeah.

I am absolutely
outraged by this man.

You are a very good
friend. Let me tell you that.

All right, all right.

Let's not make a
whole tall-in-the-saddle

chicken omelet out of it.

We're gonna get these
birds, and that's all.

Thanks, pal. Okay.

Just get goin'.

Bill, come in. I found him.

Yeah, okay, great. Uh, where?

He's in a box canyon. I
can't exactly make out where.

There's no
identifying landmarks.

Ralph, that and 65 cents
gets us a container of coffee!

Bill, I gotta go.

Someone's coming.

- Bill. You there?
- Yeah.

One of the guys rustling the
mustangs yesterday just took off

with one of the trailers.

Okay, well, maybe
your luck just changed.

You hit the silk and talk me
in so that he can't see me.

He just turned off about

a quarter mile from the bridge.

Yeah, okay. Got him.

He's gotta be
headed for that horse.

Bill, another 50 yards,
turn left on a dirt road.

About time you got here.

I was beginnin' to think
I was gonna have to

babysit that stallion all day.

What's the matter? You
afraid that super guy is

gonna come back and get you?

You bet your boots
that's what I'm thinkin'.

Zoom! Right down on
ya. He just grabs ya.

Took me over two hours
to get down off that peak.

After I take care of Desperado,

I'll come back and put you

out of your misery.

Oh, come on. Just do it.

We'll bury the carcass
up at Red Rock.

Oh, lord! It's him!

All right, where are they?

Uh, th-they?

The other horses. The
mustangs you rounded up.

Where are they?

Seems like we got a
failure to communicate.

Why don't we get some
fresh air and see if I can

start your tongue waggin'.

Oh, no. Oh, no! Ohh!

Put me down!

I'm afraid of heights!

See? It gets easier
the second time you fly,

doesn't it?

Oh, lordy! Don't leave
me up here again!

So talk. The horses...
Where are they?

At the slaughterhouse in Mexico.

But they're long gone,
over an hour ago.

Which plant?

Which plant? Come
on! Which plant?

Don't do that again! The
Puppy Love company!

Ohh! The Puppy Love
company! Oh, lordy, help me!

You want me to take you down?

Yeah! Yeah!

You know, I love
it when you beg.

I'm beggin'. I'm beggin'.

Forget it, Charlie.
You're out of luck.

Ohh! Don't...

Don't leave!

Don't leave me up here again!

I'm gonna be sick!

I'm gonna... I'm
gonna be sick! Hey!

Help! Come back here!

Don't leave me!
Somebody help me!

Okay, one over and one under.

Put 'em on yourself.

Well, I see you had
a little experience

with that.

Okay, kid, we got
him back, anyway.

That's the main thing, right?

Yeah, but they got
the other horses.

They took 'em to Mexico.

They're gonna turn
'em into dog food.

When'd they leave?
Over an hour ago.

I don't know what to tell you.
We're kinda grounded out here.

Nobody is gonna admit
to bringing ill*gal horses

across the border,

and in Mexico no
crime's been committed.

I got the name of the factory.

Why don't we buy 'em back?

Buy 'em back when
you win the race. Right?

Well, the race starts
in less than an hour.

Well, let's get
moving. Get the trailer.

Desperado.

Come on, kid! Move it!

Put the trailer on
the back of my car.

We can't take this.

We gotta take it
eventually. It's evidence.

Part of the collar.

We'll come back to get
your car when I come back

to get this creep here.

Okay.

♪♪

What's that stallion

doing out here?

And what's he doing in my truck?

I don't know.

I sent Cal, like you
said. Looks like we got

some restaffing to do.

I'd like to register
for the race.

Is there still a chance?

You got about 30
seconds to fill out this form.

That'll be $50.

Fifty dollars? Bill, I need $50!

How much have you got?

I got nothing. I'm
a schoolteacher.

I got 20.

See you got your horse back.

That's right. Bet
you're wondering

how I did that, huh?

By the way, guy that works
for you at the corral isn't

gonna want his job back.

No, he decided to join
a traveling geek show.

Here! Got it!

Fifty!

♪♪ You're too late.

It's post time. That's right.

You're already registered, hon.
I knew you'd find Desperado.

- All right.
- Looks like you're downwind

from a big pile of fertilizer.

We'll see you after we
win. Come on, Ralph.

Gotta get you some silks.

Honey, call the slaughterhouse,
tell 'em we're gonna buy back

all of the mustangs.

Uh, Ralph, you haven't won

the race yet.

Yeah, but we're gonna win.

That horse can't win.

Desperado's never
been raced before,

so he's not gonna respond
to the bell, he's gonna be

real slow at the gate.

But once he gets
started... Matt, I said

that horse can't win.

Now see to it.

Look at that.

I don't know what
he thinks he's doing.

How does he know
that horse is fast?

He's got the suit on.
The suit works on him,

not on horses.

We'll do it.

The horses are at the gate.

Number three, the last to enter,

is Desperado.

The flag is up.

And they're off and running!

Breaking out
first is Fast Caper.

Bill! Valiant second,

and Getaway.

All very close, followed
by Lady's Pal, Out of Luck,

Into Money, Q.B.
VII, Rafferty's Dream,

Successful Venture.

Past the stands it's Valiant

in the lead by a length,

with Fast Caper second
and Old Ashley third.

Into the first turn...

it's Valiant, followed
by Fast Caper

and Getaway in third.

And at the clubhouse
turn it's still Valiant,

with Fast Caper in
second, Getaway third.

That was a hit!

Okay, hold it, turkey!
Freeze it right there!

Yeah, let's have that one.

And at the second
turn it's still Valiant,

followed by the number-two
horse, Fast Caper,

and Getaway in third.

Now, loosen up
and watch the race.

You're gonna love this one.

Now pulling

into the backstretch,

it's Valiant, followed
by Fast Caper.

Come on, Ralph.

In third, Getaway,
with Haley's Flash

moving up between horses.

Coming to the
three-quarter mark.

It's Rafferty's Dream making
his move on the big white horse,

Successful Venture.

And now it's
Valiant in the lead.

- Come on, baby. Come on!
- Come on, boy!

Fast Caper is second
and Getaway third.

Desperado is coming
up on the outside.

Valiant, come on!

Come on.

Around the fourth
turn, headed for home,

it's Rafferty's Dream in
first, followed by Valiant,

Desperado in the third position.

And now into the homestretch,

it's Valiant holding onto first.

Number three, Desperado,
is neck-and-neck,

and Desperado makes his move.

He's pulling away!
And he's gonna win it!

He's gonna win it easy!

He's gonna win
it by four lengths!

Yes, sir, the winner is
going to be Desperado...

with Valiant in second.

Waaah!

Oh.

Mmm. Thank you.

And the winner this year is
Ralph Hinkley on Desperado.

All right!

- Come to the cashier's
cage and collect your win.

- Thank you.

We did it!

We did it!

I got through. They
have the mustangs.

For $5,000 we can have them all!

Kid, you did it!

I don't know how, but
you brought it home.

I got King and his g*ons
nailed down behind the stands,

so this is all buttoned up.

Listen. Next week,

Rio Dosa, New Mexico.
Big claiming race.

No! No, no.

We could do this again.

Build a whole stable. We could!

No.

Let's go.
