This true story based on a best selling book tells the story of a group of the unlikeliest of heroes. It would seem that pairing a knobbly-kneed horse with a half-blind ex boxer jockey would lead only to last place. Instead this unsung duo became a winning combination that inspired and intrigued a nation suffering the hardships of the Great Depression.

PROMOTION IDEA:

Have someone from your history department give a presentation on the Great Depression.

Have a three-legged horse race outside of your venue before the show.
