Rich Strike, the longest shot in the Kentucky Derby, won a stunning victory in 2022. Although his backstory is one of doubt and defeat, the beautiful thoroughbred's win is filled with lessons for all.It takes his best friend, Squirrel, who believes in him, and his groom and trainer earning his trust to guide him to victory and astound the racing world.

Hey, Fearless Warriors. I was once fearless too. That was before almost getting kidnapped in a park. Police caught the guy in the act, so my friends are bullying me now, thinking I'm melting down for attention before we start high school. I wish I were. Trust me, if I could stop my panic attacks dead, I would. My mom flies me off to Sunnybrook Farm 'cause the youth volunteers in their therapeutic riding program know a thing or two about standing up to bullies. I'm not a big fan of horses TBH. Dogs are more my thing. So, of course, when I find a stray pit-mix in the woods with a torn ear and bite wounds, I have to help it. However, it's not exactly friendly...yet. I believe I can win it over before animal control gets involved. But when my friends River, Joey, Devon, and I unearth dog bones with out-of-state dog tags, it hurls us into a race to unlock the mystery before more dogs end up the same. We highly suspect dog fighting, but Joey-a foster kid with his own traumatic past-and I are both already living with nightmares. The last thing we need is more heartbreak or danger from dog-killing criminals. But...we can't give up on dogs that need us. And we won't.
