The Dixie Winner (1916)
Little Joyce Fairfax is keen on horses and dogs. She is particularly infatuated with "Satan," a thoroughbred colt belonging to her mother, a young widow who is estranged from her father, Judge Boyce, because she married into a family with which the Boyces had carried on a feud for years. When reverses come, she is compelled to sell the effects of the plantation, among them Satan the beloved colt. The alternative is to marry Silas Morgan, but Joyce insists that she couldn't stand the banker for a papa. The judge softens and secretly buys the colt. Then reverses come to him and the thoroughbred is his only hope. He enters Satan in the Dixie stakes and Morgan, who holds his notes and also wanted the horse, tries trickery to prevent the colt from running. The little Black stableboy, who is the only one who can do anything with the colt except Joyce, is kidnapped. Morgan is content. But he could not foresee that there may have been one other who could ride "Satan." The mysterious rider comes to the barrier, and is away with the field before Judge Boyce, the owner, can recover from his astonishment. He wins and as he flashes under the wire Mrs. Fairfax nearly collapses. She hastens to the paddock to find her little girl very muddy and soiled in her jockey colors. The Judge, hastening back to congratulate the "greatest rider in the world," finds daughter and granddaughter and everything turns out admirably.
