Description
The true crime story of three gamblers who bet on a long-shot filly to win the Kentucky Derby. Unknowingly, they made the wager with members of a suspected Mexican drug cartel. The gripping true story is as thrilling as a derby and includes men, women, horses, risk, history, international intrigue, comedy, and even a touch of romance. Would you bet your life on a 50-1 shot?
