Frankenstein meets the Black Stallion

Andy takes a summer job as assistant to a Mad Scientist, and finds himself helping a couple of colorful but impoverished gamblers. Their goal: Bring a super-racehorse called the Roan Ranger back to life in time to win the Durk's Classic. The plan goes awry when the racehorse is accidentally fitted with the wrong brain. Not just any jockey can ride the Roan Ranger. Andy recruits the lovely Corduroy Brown to ride the Roan Ranger in the big race. But the evil leader of a gambling syndicate has other plans. It's up to Andy to rescue Cordy from the mob, the Roan Ranger from the knackers, and his friends from the poorhouse!
