Colorful homespun harness racing film, that is also a coming-of-age drama. Veteran filmmaker Henry Hathaway ("The Desert Fox"/"The Real Glory") does a decent job with this sweet old-fashioned tale, but the film doesn't age well. It was remade in 1957 as April Love, a Pat Boone vehicle. It's based on the "The Saturday Evening Post" story "Phantom Filly" by George Agnew Chamberlain and is written by Winston Miller.
A lad with a penchant for trouble is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Indiana. Though he's not happy about the arrangement at first, his love of horses and his affection for a young filly that he plans to race make life bearable. He also finds romance with tomboyish Char who shares his love for horses.
