Michael Zampino
Andrea, twenty-one, works with his father, an antique dealer often involved in shady business. A chance encounter with Tony, his former trainer at the riding school, makes Andrea believe he can once again become the winning jockey he was before he left racing. Unfortunately, the only horse Tony is willing to give him is Laghat, an exceptional thoroughbred but almost completely blind. A sporting and personal challenge begins for Andrea, one that will help him grow not only as a jockey but also as a man.
