In June 1890, amid intense racial and political unrest, jockey Isaac Burns Murphy—the central figure in a frenzied and electrifying “black vs. white” race at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn (New York)—aims for the BIG prize, leading Hall of Famer Salvator down the track on a quest to trample injustice while taking home $10,000. With “white” and “colored” signs popping up in response to newly minted Jim Crow laws, all eyes are on Murphy and his rival as one seals America’s fate for generations to come in this photo-finish race dubbed by The New York Times as “the greatest in the history of thoroughbred racing.”
This groundbreaking movie project was recently featured on The 'Ron Flatter Racing Pod' in addition to a two-part episode courtesy of In The Money Media's "Can Do" with Bill Duncliffe and a 20-minute segment on ESPN-RICHMOND’s “Off To The Races” with Frank Vespe.
