Racing Blood (1926)

Harris Fleming, after losing the estate of his nephew to John Sterling--whose rival horse, "The Devil," wins a race--wires his nephew at college and then kills himself. When Jimmy Fleming receives the wire, he is about to attend a dance with Muriel Sterling and puts it aside; Muriel happily informs him of her father's recent good fortune, and opening the telegram, Jimmy is stunned to learn of the tragic turn of events. He leaves and obtains a job with a small California newspaper as a reporter, and Muriel loses contact with him. At a circus auction, Jimmy buys a handsome horse, in reality Muriel's racer--stolen from her uncle. Later, when Muriel meets Jimmy riding the horse, she does not disclose the horse's identity. Unable to hire a jockey, Jimmy decides to ride the horse in a steeplechase; but when his weight prohibits the entry, Muriel rides it herself and wins not only the race but also Jimmy's love.
