Black Jockey: Tales of a Legend

Gareth "Gary" Garrison, once a legendary horse jockey, is now a washed-up drunkard. His days of glory are long gone, replaced by a life of cheap booze and questionable decisions. His latest scheme: running a shabby self help rehabilitation group. Former track star Kevin Johnson, bitter and disillusioned after a career-ending injury, finds himself at rock bottom when he’s fired from yet another job due to his temper. Kevin now fears losing the love of his life when fate intervenes, and he crosses paths with Gary's rehab group. A desperate Kevin accepts Gary's unconventional offer, agreeing to train at the racetrack, Kevin as the horse jockey, Gary as the trainer, just as long as they both continue rehab. The mismatched duo embark on a hilarious journey, with Gary's outlandish training techniques clashing with Kevin's no-nonsense attitude. Surprisingly, they get good, but as the big race day approaches, tensions rise. The once-proud athletes must confront their own demons and learn to work together. Gary, with his newfound sobriety and renewed passion, discovers a new appreciation for teaching. Kevin, in turn, rediscovers his love for racing, the thrill of competition, and the importance of partnerships. Their journey is not without its obstacles. There's the constant threat of Gary's old bad habits resurfacing. And there are many. Not to mention Kevin’s anger management and low tolerance for B.S. But through it all, the two men find a strange kind of friendship, bonded by their shared desire for redemption. In the end, each race becomes a symbol of their transformation. It's not just about winning; it's about proving to themselves, their loved ones, and to the world, that they’re still worth a damn. If they cross the finish line, they’ll know that they've achieved something far greater than a victory – a second chance. They're more than ready to embrace it, one stumbling step at a time.
