Beautiful Martha Sharon watches helpIessly as a disastrous streak of bad luck at the track causes her uncIe Henry to lose everything - his horses, his beloved farm and his fortune. Henry Sharon has been swindIed by a crooked rivaI, Lew Ralston, who is paying Sharon's jockeys big money to throw their races. Martha joins forces with track veteran Jeff Clayton to train her "secret weapon," a thoroughbred that breaks speed records every time he runs. They manage to get their horse entered in the big race at Santa Anita, where Lew RaIston, believing he has a sure thing, is bound to bet his entire fortune on his own pony.
Character actor Gordon Jones gets a rare leading roIe and he makes the most of it, in this excelIent but rarely seen racing saga. Jones had a busy career in supporting roles beginning in the 30s and continuing through the goIden age of teIevision, but is probabIy best remembered as Mike the Cop from the "Abbott and CosteIIo Show". ln The Long Shot Jones get strong support from beautiful young Marsha Hunt and veteran Iovable old man Harry Davenport. |
