[1][2] Snapper Sinclair's father once rode for stable owners Patricia and Cliff Barrington, but later was found to have thrown races and was banned from the track.

A fast but untamed horse called Faithful quickly becomes Snapper's favorite.

He wins races as its jockey, but when he refuses to throw one for gamblers, they reveal publicly who Snapper's father was and suspicion falls on Snapper, who is no longer allowed any mounts.

Not sure where to turn next, Snapper is pleased when the Barringtons invite him to come back home.
