World Premiere of 'Racing Stripes'
BENEFITING VICTORY JUNCTION SATURDAY, JANUARY 8TH
WHAT: Racing Stripes is the tale of a baby zebra named Stripes (voiced by Frankie Muniz), who is raised by horse trainer Nolan Walsh (Bruce Greenwood) and his young daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere) on their Kentucky farm. Stripes becomes part of an eclectic barnyard family, led by grumpy Shetland pony Tucker (voiced by Dustin Hoffman) and Franny (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg), a sharp-tongued but loving nanny goat. Stripes and Channing both dream of racing in the prestigious Kentucky Open—Stripes knows that if he can just get onto the track, he will leave all the other horses in the dust. What he doesn't know is… he's not exactly a horse. He's helped in his pursuit of glory by his friends back on the farm and down at the track, including the manic horsefly duo Buzz (voiced by Steve Harvey) and Scuzz (voiced by David Spade), whose love of song and dance is eclipsed only by their love of hot dogs and horse poop. As Stripes thrusts himself into a world of elite athletes, intense competition and enormous stakes, he must prove he's fast enough and tough enough to run with the big horses if he wants to land in the winner's circle at the Kentucky Open. Some champions are born, not bred!
