(chuckles) i didn't kill that old cuss. but i should've... thank y'all for coming. (crowd cheering) ("jin go lo ba" by santana playing) this is why they call this the sport of kings. listen at 'em. they can't wait to see those beasts run. it's going to be a good one, sir. this goes well, you're going to be training many of my ponies. thank you, mr. baxter. (bell ringing) announcer: they're off and running! the william penn million dollar derby has begun. right out of the gate, veteran jockey sonny sandoval fillin' the lane with gusto riding sapphire to the front of the pack. steady. first turn, sapphire holds his lead, but little hope, ridden by angelo rivera, makes his move on the outside. come on, poppa! they enter the back stretch, sapphire by a head, little hope running a close second. along the rail, it's grumpy bear in third. going to break her out of the pack. no, not yet! they turn for home, sapphire breaks open, runnin' and gunnin' now, ahead a length, a length and a half. (laughing): that's it! poppa! letting out all stops in the final stretch, as sapphire kisses the sky and says good-bye. wait! little hope pulls within a length of sapphire. what the hell's he doing?! little hope suddenly moves into the lead, as sapphire begins to fade. little hope is ahead by a nose, a length. she's gonna pull off the upset. little hope wins! (crowd cheering) whoo! son of a bitch pulled up on him on purpose! mr. baxter... shut up, get the hell outta here! i'm gonna have that taco bender and your whole family deported! (groans) you know, that was the first of three heart attacks. i spent a month in recovery at mercy hospital. sonny choked on purpose. over a stupid horse. sapphire should've won that race, sure thing. even his son bet ten large ones on him to win. so, why'd sonny do it? crackpot, i think he wanted to take firewalker back to mexico with him. till you killed firewalker for the money. insurance investigators said in all three reports that faulty wiring caused those fires. it's quite a coincidence. so, another horse dies in the fire. why don't we just call it a return on my investment? (chuckles) i beat that thing just like i did in 1994 with bloodline. statute of limitations, detectives. is that right? how's your heart holding up, randall? you beat it in '94 'cause seven years had passed in that investigation. seven years from when the investigation begins, not when the crime was committed. yeah, which in the case of firewalker was... an hour ago. when we called your insurance company and decided to investigate. stand up, baxter. you're under arrest for insurance fraud. from the treasury department, i come bearing gifts. sonny's safe deposit box. inside, a receipt for a plot, life insurance policy... and a copy of his last physical. blood in his urine... years of bulimia and pills... that guy was a mess. getting his affairs in order. and look who he left it all to. standard bow rake. one-inch width between each tooth. same exact width between puncture wounds to the back of sonny's skull. somebody brained your old man, jose. a terrible way to go out. ever cross your mind your gambling might've cost your dad his life? i told you, i cleaned up before that. (clunking) told us a lot of things, jose. truth is you bet large on your dad, and it cost you big. the job with baxter and a lot of coin. old man had to go, so you took him out with a rake like this. jose: stable rake. anyone at the track had access to that. like angelo? what i told you from the start. angelo, who won that last race against your dad? yeah. so? angelo, who was like a son to him. cut from the same poor streets of mexico. un verdadero mexicano. wished he was his son. angelo was a real man. a jockey. you... americanized. too big to be a jockey. a gambler. liar. you did nothing but cost him. at least i wasn't a scumbag drug addict. found sonny's life insurance policy. life insurance? my old man? oh, yeah. guess who he left everything to? and i'd be worried if my son was a compulsive gambler. (chuckling): why waste the money? it makes perfect sense who he left his money to. yeah. jose: who? kristi? angelo? firewalker? they all came before me. he paid off your debts. to save himself from embarrassment. the great sonny sandoval couldn't have a loser for a son. if he'd just won that last race, you'd have been rollin'. damn right. but no, he had to pull up. just to make a point. yeah, that he never cared about me. you're wrong, jose. the weight loss, injuries, pills-- had taken its toll. sonny's internal organs were shutting down. your pop was making plans to take care of those he left behind. my father was dying? still managed to make that last payment, though. and you were sole beneficiary. left you $3 million. even after all you put him through... ...he still loved you, jose. i don't understand. why couldn't he just tell me? (horse whinnying, snorting) (clattering) you happy now? i'm free, mijo. i borrowed ten g's. what? you promised me, jose. you gave me your word. i bet it all on you... to win. mijo, why? when was the last time you bet on me, poppa? hmm? son? you're sick, okay? you need help. then help me! i tried. you tried? by-by-by tanking the race so that angelo could win?! i'm your son! not angelo! i-i couldn't win another race for baxter after what he did to firewalker. but i'm the one that pays. poppa, it cost me money and a job! i have failed you. i did not want this life for you. wanted you to be better than me. i made so many mistakes. it's time everyone knows the truth, okay? these horses deserve better, and so do jockeys. what are you talking about? poppa, if you do that, they blackball me. i'll never be hired as a trainer again! no, you'll get help. it'll be okay. trust me. no, no, poppa. don't worry. i will take care of everything, mijo. you'll see. i'm so sick... i'm so sick and tired of waiting for you!
