He reacts dismissively, but begins to wonder: what was there in his past - and what does the future still hold for him? In JOCKEY, director Clint Bentley succeeds in drawing a unique and authentic picture of the racing scene. With images of sublime beauty, his drama provides insight into a quintessentially American world.
