A Story of Recovery & Redemption.

Years after stepping away from the sport that both made and broke him, legendary jockey Ramon Moya returned to the world of thoroughbred racing under the guidance of Anthony R. Margotta Jr., a thoroughbred horse racing trainer haunted by his own past. Drawn together by a shared search for redemption, the two men are rebuilding their lives and reputations behind the scenes.
