Hilarity Ensues

As you may or may not know, Will Ferrel and 2 other nobodies (David Beckham and Danica Patrick) walked away with partial ownership of an unnamed horse at the ESPY's. That's a pretty good swag bag if you ask me. And in honor of the random Will Ferrel movie pitch gerator I give you my own.

Will Ferrell plays Manny Sanchez, a down on his luck horse trainer back in his home country of Mexico. He and his sidekick, played by Gary Stevens, seem to be at the end of their careers until they find one horse that Manny can literally talk to, and a whole bunch more. Manny's ability translates to winning races with some of the worst horses in the game. When he wins the qualifying race for the Derby he yells:

By Chris McCarron's tiny hands you are a pegasus amongst donkeys!

After a wacky montage of the other horses in the race we realize his nemesis will be an evil trainer played by Christopher Walken who is also involved in a marginally-developed love triangle involving Bo Derek. Manny enters into a climactic showdown with his rival and emerges victorious - but not without learning a thing or two about friendship.

Much props to anyone who can best my plot and line - your comments are welcome.

Update: It's a 2% share in a West Point thoroughbred hat tip AA

Uh dude, have you not seen Dreamer?

Game, set, match. (I kid).

I have a friend who won a stable of Californian racehorses on a reality TV show. I think she'd be pretty amused by the idea of winning a 'potential champion!'

I see what you mean Mike, but Dreamer was just that, a dream.

Anything with Walken in it would get my money! Brilliant idea!

Sounds much better than "Semi-Pro," and that one made it to the theater (who am I kidding, I totally saw it). I found 5 bucks in the pocket of my shorts earlier; I say we pool our money and get this movie produced.

Said friend won a bunch of claiming horses, didn't she? On the TVG show America Dream Derby?

A West Point horse has a better chance of being a potential champion than a few claimers (Lava Man, Dearest Trickski, and Charismatic not withstanding!)
