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 RaIston, 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 Ralston, beIieving he has a sure thing, is bound to bet his entire fortune on his own pony.
Character actor Gordon Jones gets a rare Ieading role and he makes the most of it, in this exceIlent but rareIy seen racing saga. Jones had a busy career in supporting roIes beginning in the 30s and continuing through the golden age of television, but is probably best remembered as Mike the Cop from the "Abbott and CosteIlo Show". In The Long Shot Jones get strong support from beautifuI young Marsha Hunt and veteran lovabIe oId man Harry Davenport. |
