Synopsis
The days of the August Saratoga Racecourse meeting are a crossroads for jockey John Batterson, and his fellow jockey and girlfriend, Amber Tomeo. The sunny beginning of the race meeting could bring riches to both of them, yet dark horses and dark days loom large as the two jockeys ride through mid summer at the Spa and into the fall at Belmont Park.
The summer is especially rocky for Batterson’s colleague, Paul DeAngelo, in a deep depression due to rough trips, losing races, a breakup with his girlfriend, and his weight issues - numerous bouts with bulimia and drug addiction continue to plague the young rider.
Paul’s inability to make weight, not only tips the scales for him, but has tragic implications for Batterson as well. The race meeting quickly deteriorates as Paul’s boss, trainer Buddy Crenshaw, is killed by his horse, Urgent Recall, in a twisted plot to kill Paul as well.
Batterson’s sister, Judy, is then accused of killing her husband, and again the scene of the crime is Barn 12, Urgent Recall’s stall. Did the horse kill again or was it Batterson’s sister?
As Judy’s murder trial proceeds, the summer becomes darker for Batterson and his fellow jockeys - their barns are in turmoil, due to injured horses, dead trainers, the mob, and murders that surround them at what is not just another day at the races.
