PREVIOUSLY ON WILDFIRE:
IT WAS A PHOTO BOOTH AT A PARTY.
I HAD TO KISS SOMEONE. MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A NEW JOCKEY. LET ME RIDE.
"TINA SHARP AT THE BELMONT." YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS?
KRIS, THIS IS TINA. TINA, KRIS FURILLO.
SHE'S BEEN RIDING FOR US FOR YEARS.
YOU SAID YOUR FATHER WAS A LAWYER.
THINK HE COULD HELP TRACK DOWN MY MOTHER.
THEY NEED A RIDER. KRIS?
YOU KIND OF LIKE HER, DON'T YOU? YEAH.
EVAN TELLS ME YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND YOUR MOTHER.
FINDING HER MIGHT CAUSE YOU MORE TROUBLE THAN YOU THINK.
DO YOU WANNA HANG OUT TOMORROW? YOU'RE ASKING ME OUT?
YOU WORK FOR ME. NOT TINA SHARP.
TINA! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WENT DOWN.
I HAVE A RACE TO WIN. I'LL SEE YOU.
MAYBE I'LL SEE YOU TOO.
[KRIS MOANING] [MATT] HURRY UP. HERE WE GO.
JUST PUT IT IN. OW!
HERE WE GO. ALMOST THERE.
IN, IN, IN, IN.
OH, GOD, IT'S BROKEN! I KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? SORRY.
OW! THERE.
THERE YOU GO.
DRESSED.
THANK YOU.
MY PLEASURE.
[CLEARS THROAT]
THAT WAS GOOD FOR ME TOO.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M A LOT BETTER TAKING OFF SWEATERS.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU GET HOTTER, YOU WANNA SWITCH TO COTTON, LET ME KNOW.
OH, GOOD. I APPRECIATE THAT ONE. YEAH.
[DOOR OPENS] [JUNIOR] HEY, GUYS.
COME ON. THE PARTY STARTED LIKE AN HOUR AGO.
SORRY. JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING THURSDAY?
THERE'S THIS GREAT REGGAE BAND COMING TO O.P.M.
SORRY, BRO. THURSDAY'S NO GOOD.
THE REGGAE BAND'S GONNA BE HOT.
I MEAN, THE BAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE ROCKING.
YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR WHEN WE SAW THOSE TWO CHICKS WITH THE COBRA TATTOOS?
GOOD TIMES. YEAH.
COME ON. YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER PLANNED?
I'M GETTING TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE. SO BRING HER.
IT'S NOT REALLY A GROUP THING.
OH. OH, I GET IT.
YOU'RE AFRAID SHE'LL COME HOME WITH ME.
DUDE. IT'S KRIS.
OH.
THINGS GOT KIND OF HOT WITH US AT THE PARTY.
YEAH, I SAW THE PICS.
YOU MAD?
NO. I'M OVER IT.
ALL RIGHT. SO, YOU GUYS READY?
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. WHO'S DRIVIN'?
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS GO?
OH, NO. YOU'RE THE DESIGNATED DRIVER TONIGHT.
WE'RE COMING WITH YOU.
[MAN] ♪ WITH THE MORNING LIGHT GOT YOUR MIND IN SIGHT ♪

EASY.
YOU LOST TWO SECONDS. LET'S CALL IT A DAY.
MAYBE HE'S JUST GETTIN' OVER THE POISON.
I READ SOMEWHERE IT CAN TAKE OVER A MONTH.
HOW'S THE ARM?
IT'S NOT THE PROBLEM.
YOU NOT PUTTING IN 100%. NEITHER IS YOUR HORSE.
YEAH, WELL, WE'RE BOTH OUT OF PRACTICE.
I CLOCKED A MINUTE FIVE WITH ANOTHER JOCK ON HIM LAST WEEK.
YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT. I NEED SOMEONE TO RIDE HIM AT SANTA ROSA.
YEAH, WHAT ABOUT ME?
I'M NOT LETTING YOU RACE WHILE YOU'RE HURT. YOU'RE IN PAIN.
SO WHAT? THERE'S NOT A JOCKEY OUT THERE WHO ISN'T.
TINA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
SOME CLIENTS SENT ME TO CHECK OUT THE TWO-YEAR OLD THAT YOU'RE SELLING.
SO I'M GONNA BE AROUND ALL WEEK.
KRIS. HOW'S THE HAND? ALMOST BETTER.
OH, GOOD. YOU KNOW, I AM RIDING IN THE SANTA ROSA DERBY NEXT WEEK.
LOW PROFILE, NOT A LOT OF HORSES.
I THINK IT'D BE A GREAT RACE FOR YOU. ME TOO. I WAS JUST TELLING...
SHE NEEDS MORE TIME TO GET OVER HER FALL.
OH. SHE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
[TINA] HAVE YOU TRIED ACUPUNCTURE? UH-UH.
I KNOW THIS GREAT GUY IN TOWN. HE DOES ALL THE JOCKEYS. I'LL TOTALLY HOOK YOU UP.
LOOK, I'M... I'M...
I'M SORRY THAT I DIDN'T STICK AROUND AFTER YOU FELL.
I HAD TO BE IN FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY AND I'M REALLY SORRY. IT'S OKAY.
YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T JUST COME BACK FOR THE RACE.
I ACTUALLY CAME BACK TO SEE IF YOU'RE OKAY.
YEAH. YOU REALLY... YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING.
WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
MY MOTIVES AREN'T THAT PURE. THEY NEVER ARE.
[LAUGHS]
BASICALLY, UM...
YOU KNOW, I SPEND A LOT OF TIME DOING BUSINESS WITH GUYS,
DRINKING WITH GUYS, HAVING SEX WITH GUYS.
SOMETIMES I DO ALL THREE AT ONCE.
HM.
I GUESS WHAT I'M BASICALLY TRYING TO SAY IS, UM,
I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FEMALE FRIENDS.
AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH IT.
OH... WELL.
I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO GET ALL OPRAH ON YOU.
WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?
CAN YOU, UH, TELL ME WHERE JEAN RITTER IS?
WHERE COULD I FIND JEAN RITTER?
HI. NICE TO MEET YOU. THANKS.
KELLY FARMS SENT ME TO CHECK OUT YOUR TWO-YEAR OLD, MAGIC ALEX.
OH, OF COURSE. YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER WATCHING YOU IN YOUR FIRST RACE.
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN WHAT, 18?
AND I'D BEEN WAITING TO SHOW WHAT I COULD DO FOR TEN YEARS.
YOU DIDN'T DISAPPOINT.
AND SOON IT'LL BE KRIS.
ONE OF THESE DAYS.
UH, WE'RE STILL WORKING IT OUT.
OH, THAT'S TOO BAD. I WAS HOPING TO SEE HER RACE AT SANTA ROSA.
WE'RE TALKING TO SOME MORE EXPERIENCED RIDERS FOR THAT.
OH, LIKE WHO?
LONNIE FOX, UM,
JORGE CRUZ, GARY TURINO.
CERTAINLY EXPERIENCED. MM-HMM.
LISTEN, KRIS, WHY DON'T YOU LET JEAN AND ME TALK
AND WE'LL CATCH UP LATER.
UM, OH, ALL RIGHT. WELL, I'LL SEE YOU GUYS IN A BIT THEN.
SIT DOWN.
THANK YOU.
YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO HEAR THIS,
BUT KRIS IS BETTER THAN THOSE GUYS.
OH, I LIKE HEARING THAT.
BUT SHE HAS ALMOST NO EXPERIENCE.
THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT ME AND IT TOOK
WINNING TWO KENTUCKY DERBIES TO GET 'EM TO SHUT UP.
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW NATURAL TALENT WHEN I SEE IT.
AND IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD PUT HER TO WORK WHILE YOU CAN
BECAUSE A GIRL WITH HER LOOKS AND SKILL,
YOU WILL BE LUCKY IF SHE IS STILL RIDING FOR YOU IN A YEAR.
[GRUNTS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
I THINK I KNOW WHERE SHE IS. WHO?
OUR MOTHER. SHE LIVES LIKE 60 MILES FROM HERE.
I WANT YOU TO COME WITH ME. WHERE'D YOU GET ALL THIS?
COME WITH ME TOMORROW AND I'LL TELL YOU.
NO WAY. FORGET IT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU.
DON'T YOU EVEN CARE WHO OUR MOTHER IS?
IT'S NOT LIKE SHE CARES ABOUT US.
ANYWAY, YOU SAID YOU HOPED SHE WAS DEAD.
WHAT IF SHE'S ALIVE AND SHE WANTS TO SEE US?
IF SHE WANTED THAT, SHE'D HAVE FOUND US BY NOW.
60 MILES ISN'T THAT FAR AWAY.
BESIDES, DO YOU STILL REALLY WANT A MOTHER?
I DON'T.
[GRUNTS]
HEY, PABLO. HUH?
TINA TALKED TO JEAN AND I THINK SHE'LL LET ME RIDE IF YOU SAY IT'S OKAY.
IT'S NOT. COME ON. GIVE ME A CHANCE. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING.
WE NEED A WIN RIGHT NOW AND YOUR INJURY'S SLOWING YOU DOWN.
SO I'LL GET MY TIMES DOWN. IF I DON'T, GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
IS THIS 'CAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE TINA?
SHE'S NOT HELPING.
WELL, FORGET ABOUT HER. THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
NO, THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND JEAN. THIS IS BUSINESS.
SO? IN BUSINESS YOU HIRE THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB.
I'M BRINGING IN GARY TURINO LATER THIS WEEK.
YOU BEAT HIS TIME. THEN WE'LL TALK.
THANKS. OH, DON'T THANK ME.
I'M GONNA TREAT YOU JUST LIKE I WOULD ANY JOCK UP FOR THE GIG. OKAY.
HEY.
HOW COME YOU DON'T LIKE TINA?
LET'S JUST SAY I'VE KNOWN HER LONGER THAN YOU.
THANKS FOR COMING WITH ME.
I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO COME ALONE.
YOU WANT ME TO GO IN WITH YOU?
THAT'S OKAY.
[RINGS DOORBELL]
I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS LATINA.
MY DAD ALWAYS SAID SHE WAS SPANISH.
I THOUGHT HE MEANT FROM SPAIN.
I DON'T REALLY SEE MY DAD WITH HER.
YOU MEAN, YOU THOUGHT SHE'D BE WHITE.
WHAT?
OH... I DON'T KNOW.
SO YOU COOL WITH THAT?
YEAH. WELL, I CAN STAY IF YOU WANNA TRY TO TALK TO HER AGAIN.
I... I GOTTA GO.
[STARTS ENGINE]
HEY. HEY.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MAGIC ALEX?
[SIGHS] NOTHIN' SPECIAL.
LET'S JUST SAY IT'S A GOOD THING I LIKE JEAN.
YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT ON YOUR SIDE.
YEAH. JEAN'S GREAT...
AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT GETTING NAKED WITH HER SON.
ARE YOU? NO. NO.
I NEED MY JOB.
AND JUNIOR DAVIS? [LAUGHS]
ANYWAY... WELL, YOU WIN A COUPLE RACES,
AND YOU CAN HAVE BOTH OF THEM AND ANYBODY ELSE YOU WANT.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. MY TIMES JUST AREN'T THAT GREAT.
ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT THE HORSE?
NO, IT'S MY ARM. IT'S JUST NOT 100%.
HAVE YOU TAKEN ANYTHING FOR IT?
NO.
WELL, I HAVE SOME PAINKILLERS FOR A CRACKED RIB
THAT GOT ME THROUGH THE PREAKNESS.
GOT YOU THROUGH IT? YOU WON IT. WHAT CAN I SAY? THEY WORKED.
NO, NO. I'M COOL WITH ASPIRIN.
ASPIRIN? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.
EVERY JOCKEY OUT THERE HAS A CRACK OR A CHIP OR A TEAR
THAT IS FRYING UP THEIR NEURONS AND BELIEVE ME,
THEY ARE TAKING SOMETHING FOR IT.
IT'S JUST PART OF THE JOB.
NO. I'LL DEAL WITH IT.
OKAY. BUT YOU'RE NEVER GONNA RIDE WELL IF YOU'RE IN PAIN.
EITHER IT CONTROLS YOU OR YOU CONTROL IT.
NO, I'M COOL.
JUST IN CASE.
HERE YOU GO.
♪♪ [ROCK ON STEREO]
THANKS. SURE.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA HAVE?
UM, JUST LEMONADE. I'M NOT THAT HUNGRY.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
WHY DON'T WE JUST ORDER SOMETHING TO GO,
PUT THE TOP DOWN ON MY CAR AND EAT UNDER THE STARS.
I'M JUST... I'M FEELING A LITTLE OFF. THAT'S ALL.
YEAH. I GOT THAT BACK AT THE LEMONADE.
I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT MATT. I DIDN'T TELL HIM THAT WE WERE GOING OUT TONIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK MATT'S PERMISSION TO GO OUT WITH ME. I KNOW.
WE'RE ALL SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. WE SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM WE WERE GOING OUT TO DINNER.
DON'T WORRY. I ALREADY TOLD HIM.
OH, YOU DID?
HE'S COOL WITH IT. REALLY? HE SAID THAT?
HM.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS. SO YOU GUYS DISCUSSED ME
LIKE I'M SOME PIECE OF REAL ESTATE YOU CAN SUBDIVIDE.
WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DIVIDING? I WANT YOU ALL FOR MYSELF.
SO HE KNOWS AND HE'S COOL WITH IT?
YEAH. BELIEVE ME, I'D KNOW IF HE WEREN'T.
GOOD.
IF HE'S NOT WORRIED...
LET'S GET SOMETHING TO GO.
ALL RIGHT.
[ANNOUNCER ON TV] SO NOW WITH ONE OUT HERE AT THE TOP OF THE FIFTH...
[DOOR OPENS] [TINA] HELLO, JEAN?
[TURNS OFF TV] HI.
I'LL GO GET HER.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO. THAT'S OKAY.
ACTUALLY I WAS LOOKING FOR, UM, KRIS
TO SEE IF SHE WANTED TO GO GRAB A BITE.
I THINK SHE'S OUT ON A DATE.
WELL, AT LEAST SOMEONE'S GETTING SOME ACTION AROUND HERE.
[LAUGHS]
DID I MEET YOU AT THE TRACK? I'M TINA.
I'M MATT. JEAN'S SON.
OH. RIGHT. OF COURSE YOU ARE. [LAUGHS]
UM...
YOU KNOW, I WAS GONNA HEAD INTO TOWN,
AND IF YOU WANNA GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT, I'M...
STARVING.
YEAH.
OKAY.
[TINA] WHEN I WAS A KID,
THERE WAS THIS LITTLE RICH BOY NAMED RANDY MAPLE.
YOU KNOW, TURTLES ON HIS PANTS, THAT WHOLE THING. HATED ME.
SO ONE DAY WE DECIDED TO RACE. MM-HMM.
WE RODE OUR HORSES TO THE BEACH.
I RODE MY MOTHER'S MARE, MISS BRODY. KICKED HIS BUTT.
COOL.
YEAH, WELL,
THE NEXT DAY, MISS BRODY HAS A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK AND DROPS DEAD.
MY MOM IS FURIOUS.
I THINK THAT RANDY MAPLE POISONED HER,
BUT MY MOM BLAMES ME.
SAYS I SUCKED THE LIFE OUT OF HER.
OUT OF WHO?
THE HORSE.
[LAUGHS]
YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED TO A WORD I HAVE SAID.
OKAY. WHO IS SHE?
[LAUGHS]
UM, JUST SOMEONE I'M HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING OVER.
OH. ONE OF THOSE.
OH, I KNOW. THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING WITH A GUY WHO HAS MIND ON SOMEONE ELSE.
THAT'S OKAY.
TONIGHT I COULD BE SOMEBODY ELSE.
[GIGGLES]
THIS KING CAB OKAY
OR DO YOU WANT TO GO SOMEPLACE MORE RESPECTABLE? MATT.
[LAUGHS]
[RINGING]
[PABLO] MINUTE FOUR.
THAT'S IT?
SORRY.
HOW'S YOUR ARM?
IT'S BETTER.
SEE YOU IN THE MORNING. 10 A.M.
I THOUGHT OUR WORKOUT WAS AT 7:00?
WE'RE NOT WORKING OUT. I'M MEETING GARY TURINO.
MORNING, KRIS. THIS IS GARY TURINO.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE HORSE. I'LL TREAT HER LIKE SHE'S MINE.
IT'S A HE.
SO IT IS.
[BELL RINGING]
MINUTE ONE.
THREE SECONDS BETTER THAN ME.
AT LEAST NOW YOU HAVE A NUMBER TO BEAT.
HEY, YOU.
HEY.
MIND IF I JOIN YOU?
SURE.
SO HOW WAS THE REGGAE BAND THE OTHER NIGHT?
DIDN'T GO.
AFTER ALL THAT?
THOUGHT THEY WERE SO GREAT.
I ENDED UP DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU?
UM, JUST...
WENT OUT AND ATE.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL... GOTTA GO.
HEY. I KNOW JUNIOR TOLD YOU ABOUT OUR DATE THE OTHER NIGHT. I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING.
IT WASN'T EXACTLY A SHOCK. I'M SORRY. I JUST...
I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.
HEY, IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
I DON'T. WELL, I DO.
I DON'T WANT TO SCREW THINGS UP. I WANT TO BE FRIENDS.
AH, THE DUMPSTER OF FRIENDSHIP.
YOU KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOU AND JUNIOR.
I LOOKED LIKE AN IDIOT THE OTHER NIGHT. I'M SORRY.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
I TOTALLY SCREWED UP. I'M SO SORRY.
OKAY.
HEY.
I MEAN, THERE'S A PARTY ON FRIDAY.
I THOUGHT WE COULD ALL GO.
I THINK THAT MIGHT BE RUSHING THINGS.
YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
SEE YOU LATER.
[DOOR OPENS]
[TYPING] [DOOR OPENS]
HEY.
SO, UM, I'M GONNA GO RUN SOME TIMES WITH WILDFIRE IF YOU WANNA STOP BY.
OH, BOY, I'D LOVE TO, BUT I'M STILL TRYING TO SELL THIS HORSE.
[TINA] HELLO.
[DOOR CLOSES]
HI.
HEY, TINA. LISTEN,
ARE YOU STILL CONSIDERING MAGIC ALEX?
THINKING ABOUT IT.
SO I PROMISED KRIS THAT I'D STOP BY AND WATCH HER PRACTICE.
SO HOW ABOUT TODAY?
I SEE I'M JUST IN TIME FOR A WORKOUT.
YEAH, I'M ABOUT TO TAKE WILDFIRE FOR A RUN.
COME ON. BYE.
SEE YOU.
YOU'RE GIVING HIM TOO MUCH REIN! TAKE CHARGE!
HORSES DON'T WIN RACES! YOU DO!
SAD THING IS, YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT.
THERE IS NOTHING SAD ABOUT A WINNING RECORD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, TINA?
VISITING A FRIEND.
GIVING SOME POINTERS.
THAT'S MY HORSE...
AND MY RIDER.
AND NO ONE GIVES POINTERS BUT ME.
I WAS JUST TRYIN' TO HELP.
OH, BY THE WAY,
KRIS'S TIME WAS 1:05.
ISN'T THAT BETTER THAN WHAT GARY TURINO DID?
HUH?
HOW'S THE ARM?
OH, IT'S BETTER. THE PAINKILLERS ARE DEFINITELY HELPING
EVEN IF THEY MAKE ME A LITTLE SICK.
WELL, WHO CARES? AT LEAST YOU CAN RIDE.
YEAH, IT'S JUST...
WHAT?
WELL, I MEAN, MY MOM HAD A PROBLEM, AND SO, PILLS AND...
OH, COME ON. DID SHE WAKE UP AT FIVE EVERY MORNING
AND RIDE A THOROUGHBRED 40 MILES AN HOUR?
DID SHE CLOCK 1:05 WITH A FRACTURED ARM?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YEAH.
THEN FORGET HER.
KRIS, IT'S A PRESCRIPTION. IT'S MEDICINE.
YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, YOUR JOB IS TO WIN, NOT TO SUFFER.
WHEW! I COULD SURE USE A PILL TO GET OVER THE GUY I MET LAST NIGHT.
OH, YEAH? WHAT WAS HE LIKE?
HE WAS HOT AND PASSIONATE.
AND OF COURSE HUNG UP ON SOMEBODY ELSE.
UH-OH.
YES, IT'S A DRAG.
SO NOW WHAT?
OH, HE'LL COME AROUND. THEY ALWAYS DO.
[EVAN] THERE SHE IS.
JUST GO UP, INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND ASK IF YOU CAN TALK.
AND SAY WHAT? "BY THE WAY, I'M THAT SWEET LITTLE BABY YOU DESERTED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO"?
[EVAN] I BET SHE'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY AS LONG AS YOU HAVE.
OKAY.
HI.
I'M DANI.
I FEEL A LITTLE WEIRD COMING UP TO YOU LIKE THIS, BUT...
I'M...
YES?
I'M...
NEW IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
OH, NICE TO MEET YOU.
WELCOME.
THANKS. YOU KNOW, IT'S SUCH A PRETTY AREA
AND IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE TOWN.
PLUS I HEAR THAT THE SCHOOLS ARE REALLY GREAT.
YOU'RE HOLDING MY HAND.
I'M SORRY.
I'VE GOTTA GET GOING.
WE NEED TO DECIDE ON A JOCKEY.
HOW WAS GARY TURINO? CLOCKED A 1:01.
THAT'S RESPECTABLE.
KRIS WAS HALF A SECOND FASTER.
AND HER ARM DOES SEEM TO BE BETTER.
I ALMOST WISH IT WASN'T. MAYBE TINA'S RIGHT.
KRIS IS JUST DESTINED TO BECOME A JOCKEY.
YEAH, WELL, LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE NEXT WORKOUT LOOKS LIKE.
YOU DON'T REALLY LIKE TINA, DO YOU?
TINA'S ALL ABOUT TINA.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE KRIS GET HURT.
MAYBE SHE WON'T.
MAYBE SHE'LL SEE TINA FOR WHAT SHE IS.
TINA MAKES SURE YOU SEE WHAT SHE WANTS YOU TO SEE
UNTIL SHE DOESN'T NEED YOU ANYMORE.
I THOUGHT I SAW YOU.
LET'S FACE IT. I'M KIND OF HARD TO MISS.
YOU GOT PLANS? YEAH. THERE IS A COCKTAIL PARTY FOR THE JOCKS THIS AFTERNOON,
AND I'M THE GUEST OF HONOR.
OH. I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 5?
OH, REALLY?
YOU STILL THINKING OF THAT SOMEONE ELSE?
I'M SORRY. WHO?
OKAY.
[HONKS]
COME ON.
WEIGHT FORWARD, BACK FLAT AND KEEP HIM IN YOUR HANDS.
I GOT IT.
HEY, WISH ME LUCK.
YOU DON'T NEED LUCK! YOU GOT ME!
I WANT YOU OUT OF HERE.
I WAS INVITED. IT'S NOT KRIS'S DECISION.
IT'S NOT YOURS EITHER. JEAN SAID IT WAS UP TO KRIS. THAT'S THREE TO ONE.
CHICKS RULE. HA.
[RINGS]
♪♪ [MAN VOCALIZING]
♪ THEY STOPPED THE TRAIN SOME WAY DOWN IN MEXICO ♪
♪ AND ON THE WAY HIS MUSIC PLAYS WHILE LITTLE KIDS GROW TIRED ♪
♪ OH
♪ BUT SHE DON'T LIKE ME SINGING SONGS ♪

SO HOW'D I DO? VERY NICE. 59 SECONDS.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU. YOU DESERVE IT.
YEAH, AND TO WILDFIRE. HE'S THE GREATEST.
GOOD BOY.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'LL TALK TO JEAN. YOU GET SOME REST. YOU LOOK PALE.
I THINK YOU GOT THE JOB. [LAUGHS]
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
[MUMBLES] IT'S JUST...
I'M FEELIN' A LITTLE WOOZY. UH...
DO YOU MIND COOLING HIM OFF? SURE.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, REST UP, GIRL. THERE'S A PARTY THIS AFTERNOON.
I'LL MEET YOU BACK AT THE TRAILER. OKAY.
YOU CERTAINLY RUN BETTER THAN YOU LOOK. COME ON. [WHINNIES]
MMM, FORGET IT. LET'S JUST GO.
COME ON. WE JUST GOT HERE.
I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS.
THE LAST THING I NEED IS TO SIT AROUND WITH A BUNCH OF JOCKEYS
FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE CALORIES IN A CHEESE PUFF.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD FORGET ABOUT THE MOM THING FOR A WHILE AND JUST HAVE SOME FUN.
FORGET ABOUT IT?
I JUST MAY HAVE TALKED TO MY MOTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
I WISH THINGS HAD GONE A LITTLE BETTER.
WELL, SHE SEEMED COOL.
SHE WASN'T FAT. SHE DIDN'T DRIVE A HUMMER.
I JUST THOUGHT SHE'D BE DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT AS IN LILY-WHITE?
NO. IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.
THEN WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
I GUESS I WAS JUST EXPECTING SOME SPARK. YOU KNOW?
SOME PRIMAL GUT CONNECTION. BUT IT WASN'T THERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. I JUST...
WAS HOPING TO SEE IN HER SOME PART OF ME.
DON'T YOU EVER HAVE A GUT REACTION TO SOMEBODY?
I THINK THIS IS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
ALL RIGHT. LIKE WHAT? YOU FREAKING OUT
THAT YOUR MOTHER'S NOT SOME PRINCESS FROM BARCELONA.
THAT IS SO NOT THE ISSUE.
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? I THINK IT BOTHERS YOU.
WELL, IF RACE IS SUCH A BIG DEAL TO ME, THEN WHY AM I HANGING OUT WITH YOU?
HANGING OUT WITH A BLACK GUY IS ABOUT WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE.
BEING BIRACIAL IS ABOUT WHO YOU ARE.
OKAY, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE REALLY SMART AND EVERYTHING,
BUT SOMETIMES YOU JUST MISS THE POINT.
I'M GETTING A DRINK.
YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT? YEAH. I'M FINE NOW.
IT WAS JUST SOMETHING I ATE THIS MORNING. GOOD. OKAY.
THERE ARE PROBABLY GONNA BE SOME PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE FROM HORSE AND TRACK,
SO GET READY TO SMILE.
PHOTOGRAPHERS? LIKE THEY'RE GONNA CARE ABOUT US.
COME ON. YOU'RE A HOT YOUNG JOCK RIDING THE HORSE WHOSE LIFE YOU SAVED.
PLUS, MY DAD OWNS THE MAGAZINE, SO...
♪♪ [JAZZ]
OKAY, TIFFANY. GIVE US A SMILE.
IT'S KRIS. OH, RIGHT.
HOW MANY GIRLFRIENDS AGO WAS TIFFANY?
THAT WASN'T SERIOUS. I MET HER ON MY BIRTHDAY.
OH, WHEN SHE JUMPED OUT OF YOUR CAKE? SHE GAVE ME A LAP DANCE.
IT WAS A LOW POINT.
BESIDES, YOU HAD REJECTED ME AT LEAST FOUR TIMES THAT WEEK.
MATT! HERE! TINA, RIGHT HERE!
DUDE! HEY!
[KRIS] I DON'T THINK HE HEARD YOU.
HE'S GOT HIS MIND ON OTHER THINGS.
I'LL GO GET US SOME DRINKS.
HEY. YOU LOOK GREAT.
WHAT'D YOU TAKE? A FREAKIN' TOM CRUISE PILL?
DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO CHEERFUL?
SORRY. BLAME HER.
AS ALWAYS.
WHERE WERE YOU TODAY? UH, YOU KNOW, TAKING CARE OF SOME STUFF.
BY THE WAY, I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY EVAN.
FINALLY, YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH SOMEONE WHO'S NOT A COMPLETE BONEHEAD.
YEAH, WELL, DON'T GET TOO EXCITED. HE'S JUST AS BIG OF A JERK AS THE REST OF 'EM.
HI. GOOD.
KRIS! COME HERE.
HI. HEY.
HEY. ARE YOU FEELING BETTER? YEAH, MUCH BETTER.
GOOD. THANKS.
HEY, DID YOU GET A LOAD OF MY GUY DU JOUR?
YEAH. UH, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I WANTED TO, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS GONNA BE A ONE-NIGHT STAND OR...
AFTER YOU SAID THAT JEAN DOESN'T LIKE ANY OF MATT'S GIRLFRIENDS, I DIDN'T...
I DIDN'T WANNA STIR THINGS UP.
HE SAID HE'S, UH, TRYING TO GET OVER SOMEONE?
YEAH, AND FRANKLY, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU RESISTED SUCH A HOTTIE IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD.
OH, WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.
SO, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE MR. TINA SHARP?
[LAUGHS] UM, COME ON. SHE'S COOL.
SHE'S LIKE SIX YEARS OLDER THAN YOU, RIGHT? THAT NEVER STOPPED YOU.
I KNOW.
SO, IT'S ALWAYS A LITTLE WEIRD WHEN SOMEONE'S OLDER.
YEAH. THAT'S TRUE. I DON'T USUALLY GET HER REFERENCES.
HMM. WHO'S LUKE PERRY?
HE WAS IN BREAKFAST CLUB. OH.
OR WAS IT AEROSMITH?
BY THE WAY, I REALLY LIKE THAT GUY EVAN.
HERE YOU GO. HEY.
I JUST SAW EVAN, HE SEEMS... GREAT? YEAH. GET OVER IT.
HEY. COME HERE A SECOND.
I WANNA INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME INVESTORS.
...JUST CAME OUT. I'M GONNA BE THERE, I THINK, IN, UH, NOVEMBER.
AND WE STILL HAVE TO GO TO THAT LITTLE RESTAURANT BY THE BEACH.
OH! OH. [GASPS]
YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF MONEY RUNNING OUT OF REAL ESTATE.
IT WAS SO GOOD. DO YOU REMEMBER?
SOME OF IT COULD GO TO BONDS, BUT I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR PRIME PLUS TWO.
HEY. HI.
I DIDN'T GET TO TALK TO YOU AT ALL.
YEAH, YOU WERE PRETTY BUSY.
YOU WEREN'T DOING TOO BAD YOURSELF WITH THE WHOLE DAVIS CREW.
I HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER ONE THING I SAID.
ME TOO. GOD, THIS IS BORING.
TINA SAYS YOU'LL BE RIDING IN THE RACE.
WE'LL SEE. YOUR MOM AND PABLO WILL DECIDE TOMORROW.
WELL, GOOD LUCK.
MATT.
IS THIS THING BETWEEN YOU AND TINA FOR REAL, OR IS IT JUST A FLING?
I... I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT YOU AND JUNIOR?
I DON'T DO FLINGS.
UH, WE'LL SEE YOU.
MORNING. MORNING.
PABLO TELLS ME YOU GOT WILDFIRE'S TIME WAY DOWN.
WELL, IT WAS MORE WILDFIRE THAN ME. THAT'S NOT WHAT I HEARD.
YOU TOOK TWO SECONDS OFF GARY TURINO'S TIME?
THAT IS NO SMALL FEAT.
I AM MORE THAN IMPRESSED.
I AM REALLY PROUD OF YOU. THANK YOU.
PABLO AND I THINK YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A GREAT JOCKEY.
OH, MY GOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I KNOW I CAN DELIVER ON SATURDAY.
YOU'RE GONNA RIDE FOR RAINTREE, BUT NOT ON SATURDAY.
WHAT?
EVEN THOUGH YOU BEAT TURINO'S TIMES,
I STILL DON'T WANT YOU RIDING ON SATURDAY.
YOU'RE IN A CAST. YOU'RE EATING A LOT OF PAIN.
I'M IN AWE OF YOUR BRAVERY.
BUT PABLO AND I ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU,
AND WE'VE DECIDED YOU HAVE TO WAIT.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME BEING TREATED LIKE EVERY OTHER JOCK?
IT'S ALL BASED ON HOW YOU RIDE, NOT WHETHER OR NOT IT HURTS.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT. WE DO.
I BEAT GARY TURINO'S TIME. I AM YOUR BEST CHOICE TO WIN.
HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO YOUR BEST CHOICE?
KRIS.
TINA SHARP IS RIDING FOR US ON SATURDAY.
THE HORSE SHE WAS RIDING DROPPED OUT, SO SHE OFFERED.
SHE'S THE BEST JOCKEY ON THE WEST COAST, SO SHE'S OUR BEST CHOICE.
OKAY.
I GET IT. I'M GOING.
KRIS! DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS? YEAH.
I KNOW YOU WANTED TO RIDE,
BUT THE GREAT THING IS THAT NOW WE GET TO WORK TOGETHER!
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME YOURSELF.
I HAD NO IDEA.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE OTHER HORSE WAS GONNA GET SCRATCHED UNTIL TODAY.
IT'S 7 A.M. YOU GOT HERE AWFULLY QUICK.
OKAY. OKAY, I DIDN'T WANNA SAY ANYTHING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANNA SPOIL THE FUN.
YOU MEAN YOUR FUN.
LOOK. I KNOW THAT YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED, BUT WE HAVE A RACE TO WIN.
OKAY. COULD YOU GET ME MY CROP? BRING IT TO THE TRACK.
AND MY IPOD. I LOVE TO RIDE TO MUSIC.
A LITTLE GUNS N' ROSES SHOULD DO THE TRICK.
[GROANS]
WE NEED TO TALK. GO AWAY.
NO, I'M SERIOUS. ME TOO.
I'M HAVING THIS GREAT DREAM ABOUT KELLY AND KAYLA O'NEIL.
UGH. THOSE IDIOTS? MM-HMM.
I HATE CHEERLEADERS.
WELL, APPARENTLY THE FEELING'S MUTUAL.
THEY JUST PUT THEIR CLOTHES ON AND LEFT.
COME ON. WE NEED TO TALK. OKAY. YOU GO FIRST.
I SAW OUR MOTHER. WHAT? YOU TALKED TO HER?
YEAH, BUT I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO SAY WHO I WAS,
AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO GO THERE TODAY
AND SIT DOWN WITH HER AND BE SURE. OH, NO. NO WAY.
SHE HASN'T BEEN A PART OF OUR LIFE, AND SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE.
WE SHOULD AT LEAST MEET HER! OTHERWISE, WE'RE NEVER GONNA REALLY KNOW WHO WE ARE.
I KNOW WHO I AM.
I'M A REALLY LUCKY RICH WHITE KID WITH AVERAGE TALENTS,
A BRIGHT FUTURE AND A GIRLFRIEND WHO ACTUALLY LIKES ME FOR MORE THAN MY WALLET.
AND A BIRACIAL MOTHER THAT YOU REFUSE TO SPEAK TO.
OKAY, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THE WOMAN I SAW IS BIRACIAL. THAT MEANS THAT WE COULD BE TOO.
DANI, YOUR MOTHER'S NOT BIRACIAL. I REMEMBER HER.
YOU REMEMBER WHAT DAD TOLD YOU TO REMEMBER.
THIS IS OUR MOTHER.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS? GRANDMA GAVE IT TO ME.
SHE LIKED OUR MOM.
YOU NEVER SHOWED IT TO ME?
I WAS AFRAID YOU'D GET UPSET AND ASK A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS, AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE ANSWERS.
I THOUGHT IT WAS HER. I THOUGHT THAT I FINALLY FOUND HER.
DANI, LISTEN TO ME.
EVEN IF WE DID FIND HER AND GOT TO KNOW HER,
WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT?
IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'S GONNA PICK US UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN WE'RE SICK
OR HOLD OUR HAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN WE'RE SCARED
OR EVEN COME TO THE SCHOOL PLAY AND TELL US HOW GREAT WE WERE IN PIPPIN.
IT'S TOO LATE FOR ALL THAT. WE'RE NEVER GONNA HAVE THAT.
I JUST WANTED SOMEONE THAT I COULD...
TALK TO AND KNOW THAT WHATEVER I SAID,
NO MATTER HOW BAD IT WAS,
THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY.
OF COURSE, THAT'S JUST STUPID. NO, IT'S NOT.
[CRYING] YES.
SHE'LL BE IN MY BOTTOM DRESSER DRAWER UNDERNEATH MY VARSITY LETTER
IF YOU EVER NEED HER.
[KNOCKING] [JEAN] IT'S ME. CAN I COME IN?
YEAH. COME IN!
HEY. HEY.
I JUST, UH... [CLEARS THROAT]
I WANTED TO COME AND SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING.
I'M COOL. REALLY?
NO.
THAT SHOULD BE ME UP THERE.
I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY BEST FRIEND.
TINA? WILDFIRE.
THAT SHOULD BE ME RIDING. I WORKED REALLY HARD FOR THIS.
SO YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO THE RACE TOMORROW.
YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE.
YOU'RE GONNA WATCH AND LEARN FROM A GREAT RIDER.
KRIS, YOU NEED EXPERIENCE.
AND EXPERIENCE ISN'T JUST ABOUT CUTTING SECONDS.
IT'S ABOUT BEING THROWN AND GETTING BACK UP.
I KNOW IT HURTS.
GET BACK UP.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW AT THE RACE.
[ANNOUNCER] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAD A CLAIM IN THE LAST RACE.
THE NUMBER SIX HORSE, JUMPING JACK,
WAS CLAIMED BY TRAINER JOHN SHORT OF SCARBOROUGH FARM
[WHINNYING] FOR $25,000.
THERE YOU GO, BUDDY. READY TO GO.
[SIGHS] I'M GONNA BE HERE THINKING OF YOU THE WHOLE TIME, OKAY?
NOW YOU GO OUT THERE AND YOU SHOW EVERYONE YOU CAN SHINE.
KRIS. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
I AM SUCH A WRECK. [SIGHS]
I HAD TO LOSE TWO POUNDS YESTERDAY TO QUALIFY FOR THE WEIGH-IN.
I WAS STARVING ALL NIGHT. I DID NOT GET ANY SLEEP.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE FOR ME TODAY.
I'M NOT HERE FOR YOU. I'M HERE FOR HIM.
COME ON. YOU'RE NOT STILL MAD AT ME THAT I'M RIDING?
I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS. I AM.
I PUT YOUR HORSE AND RAINTREE ON THE MAP.
YOU DIDN'T DO THAT FOR ME. YOU SAW WILDFIRE RUN AND YOU REALIZED HOW GOOD HE WAS.
YOU WANTED TO RIDE HIM YOURSELF.
I SAID I WAS AVAILABLE. JEAN AND PABLO TOOK IT FROM THERE.
COULD'VE TOLD ME THAT, BUT YOU DIDN'T BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALLY CARE.
YOU KNOW, THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CARE ABOUT IS WINNING.
I'M A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. WINNING IS MY JOB.
[LAUGHS]
YOU KNOW, I'M STARTING TO GET WHY YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WOMEN FRIENDS.
YOU KNOW WHAT? ONE DAY YOU'RE GONNA BE SITTING UP THERE LOOKING DOWN ON THE WORLD,
AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
YEAH. I MIGHT SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
BUT YOU KNOW, I WILL NEVER SEE THEM THE SAME WAY AS YOU.
JOSE!
HI, BABY.
[BELL RINGS] [ANNOUNCER] THE FLAG IS UP. AND THEY'RE OFF.
IT'S MANDRAKE'S SON OUT IN FRONT, FOLLOWED BY DR. WOO,
CANDY MAN, WILDFIRE AND MORNING GEORGE.
NOW IT'S DR. WOO MOVING UP AND VYING FOR THE LEAD.
CANDY MAN IS THIRD, WILDFIRE FOURTH,
WITH MORNING GEORGE BRINGING IN FIFTH.
HERE COMES CANDY MAN MOVING UP ON THE OUTSIDE
AS MANDRAKE'S SON DROPS BACK TO SECOND.
NOW IT'S CANDY MAN NOSING OUT DR. WOO.
COME ON, WILDFIRE. YOU CAN DO IT. COME ON.
AND IT'S WILDFIRE... YOU CAN DO IT. IT'S ABOUT YOU. IT'S ABOUT YOU!
YOU CAN DO IT. YOU CAN DO IT.
CANDY MAN IN FIRST, FOLLOWED BY DR. WOO AND WILDFIRE.
WILDFIRE'S SURGING, PASSING DR. WOO FOR SECOND.
IT'S CANDY MAN, WITH WILDFIRE CLOSING IN.
COME ON, WILDFIRE. YOU CAN DO IT! COME ON!
...NECK AND NECK. WILDFIRE NOW TAKING THE LEAD, PULLING AHEAD!
COME ON. COME ON, WILDFIRE! YOU CAN DO IT.
WILDFIRE OPENING UP THE LEAD. IT'S WILDFIRE BY TWO LENGTHS.
CANDY MAN AND DR. WOO TIED FOR SECOND.
AND IT'S WILDFIRE FIRST, YES!
CANDY MAN SECOND, DR. WOO THIRD,
FOLLOWED BY MANDRAKE'S SON AND MORNING GEORGE.
THAT'S WILDFIRE RIDDEN BY TINA SHARP,
ADDING YET ANOTHER VICTORY TO AN ALREADY IMPRESSIVE RECORD.
EARLIER TODAY, WE CAUGHT UP WITH TINA,
AND ASKED HER ABOUT WILDFIRE AND HER STRATEGY FOR TODAY.
MY STRATEGY IS VERY SIMPLE: WIN.
AND WHEN I SAW THIS HORSE THAT NO ONE HEARD OF ON THIS LITTLE FARM UP NORTH,
I KNEW THAT HE COULD DO JUST THAT.
SO IF THINGS GO WELL TODAY, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE SEEING A LOT MORE OF THIS HORSE.
[ANNOUNCER] AND WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I THINK WE'LL BOTH BE BACK FOR MORE.
[ANNOUNCER] SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. WE'LL ALL BE EXPECTING MORE
FROM TINA SHARP... [CLICKS OFF]
[NEIGHING]
