"Winalota Cash," the story of the first African-Americans to own
the winning quarter horse in the All American Futurity.
The screenplay centers on the 1995 Futurity victory by Winalota
Cash, despite efforts by a group of racist horsemen first to
sabotage the horse and then to buy it from owners James and Andra
Meridyth.
The Meridyths, who had paid very little for the colt, declined
the offer and borrowed the entrance fee. Winalota Cash set a track
record in the race and went on to earn more than $2 million in
prize money, becoming the second-highest-earning quarter horse of
all time.
