Plot summary
The show centers on the world of horse racing and a young girl named Kris Furillo who, after serving time in a juvenile detention facility, works as a stablehand and later a jockey at Raintree Farm. While at Raintree, Kris finds romance and competition with Raintree's rivals, the prestigious Davis Farm, all while rising to stardom in the racing world.
Main cast and characters
Kristin "Kris" Furillo (Genevieve Cortese) : A jockey who formerly served time at Camp LaGrange, a correctional facility, for grand theft auto. She shares a special bond with Wildfire, a horse she saved from going to slaughter and helped turn into a champion racehorse.
Danielle "Dani" Davis (Nicole Tubiola) : Daughter of Ken Davis, Sr. and Junior's younger half-sister. Dani formerly owned her own racing stable, but then took over as majority shareholder of Davis Farm after her father was indicted on fraud charges. She also runs her own veterinary clinic.
Jean Ritter (Nana Visitor) : Matt and Todd's mother and the co-owner of Raintree Farm. Jean is a mentor and often a mother figure to Kris; she often bumps heads with Kris and her son, Matt, over Wildfire's training and how Raintree should be run.
Pablo Betart (Greg Serano) : An ex-convict and respected horseman. Pablo discovered Kris's talent for horses and riding while working as a volunteer trainer at Camp LaGrange and brought her to work for the Ritters. He is co-owner of Wildfire with Jean Ritter and her son, Matt and was formerly Raintree's head trainer.
Matthew "Matt" Ritter (Micah Alberti) : The oldest son of Jean, and Todd's older brother. He is co-owner of Raintree Farm along with his mother, inheriting his half of the farm's ownership when his grandfather (Jean's father), Henry Ritter, died. Early on, Matt wanted nothing to do with the "family business" of horses and racing, but came to discover he had a talent for training and conditioning Thoroughbreds and eventually took over as Raintree's head trainer.
Kenneth "Ken" Walter Davis, Sr. (James Read) : Father of Dani and Junior. He made Davis Farms one of the most powerful racing operations in the country before losing control of it by being indicted on six counts of fraud, which forced him to leave David Farm and is assets to his children and, in a series of events, lost his role as majority shareholder to Dani. After being acquitted of all the charges, Ken bought back 46% of Davis Farms.
Kenneth Walter Davis "Junior" (Ryan Sypek) : Son and namesake of Ken and older half-brother to Dani. He once owned a night club, but made a bet on his club's ownership with his former bookie, Bobby, and lost. He also dabbled in the sport of professional bull riding. Junior is constantly reluctant to take over the Davis Farm operation even though his father insists upon it, and even though Junior tries his hardest to break away from the "rich kid" stereotype, he loves his Porsche convertible.
Todd Ritter (Andrew Hoeft) : The quirky, wise-beyond-his-years son of Jean, and Matt's younger brother. He is in high school and lives at Raintree Farm.
Gillian Parsons (Charlotte Salt) : A rich heiress and a member of the racing board. She was a silent partner and co-owner of Davis Farm with Dani Davis, until Gillian sold her shares of the farm to a third-party corporation (which was, unbknowest to Gillian, was Ken Davis, Sr.). At one time, Gillian owned Wildfire's only offspring, a colt named Flame who was born before Wildfire became sterile.
