Opens with scenes of a race meeting, then moves through the whole cycle of a horse’s life: the birth in winter, foals playing in spring, yearlings being taken to sales as autumn approaches, the sales arena and bidding for the livestock, the patient year of training, and lastly, a slow motion race sequence.
