Synopsis

After learning that Pint of Plain, Gus' (Dennis Farina) Irish horse, has been tentatively scheduled to race the next day, Ace forces Escalante to swap out Leon for a more experienced jockey, to Joey's (Richard Kind) chagrin. Marcus fears for his health and wonders why he's so attached to Jerry, while Kagle (Peter Appel), who's been fired from the racetrack, returns from a bender looking for a handout. Ace gives Claire a lucky check, and the two head to the track with Gus to watch Pint of Plain's memorable debut.
