From the other side of the track“From the Other Side of the Track” is a charming
yet poignant love story between two young people and a parallel love story between two horses, one a Thoroughbred and the other a Morgan. Julia is the daughter of a wealthy tobacco plantation owner, Wilbur Ashcroft III, and Romero is the son of the plantation manager. One lives in a world of luxury and privilege, the other in the working-class world. The disparate worlds of these two lovers are defined, through the accident of birth, by expectation and tradition— a barrier never to be breached. In the midst of this tension, Julia and Romero are jointly engaged in pursuit of the dream of having a horse entered in the very first Kentucky Derby in 1875. |
