Tod elects to work for Riley, incurring the enmity of rival jockeys. Riley's daughter Colleen sympathizes with Tod and cares for his bruises. Trying to befriend Donovan, Tod wins a match between Riley's colt, Reckless, and Donovan's best horse; and many more victories bolster his confidence. His head is turned by Margie, a come-on girl for Drake, a gambler. She precipitates his dissipation, and Tod is induced to throw the race to avoid a jail sentence. Nevertheless, Tod wins the race, and when he is arrested, Riley, learning of the circumstances, makes good the boy's debts and he is released. See less
