Old-fashioned, National Velvet-type stuff.Joe Brooks, born May 18, 1987, is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in Southampton, United Kingdom. It's somewhat predictable, but there is a neat little twist at the end and, once again, the gruff Mr.

However, word gets to Superman, who flies up and retrieves Alice to be re-united with her horse, and hopefully the horse will respond, get up and win the race! The rest, you have to see. The thug "Sully" (played hilariously by show regular Billy Nelson) turns our two reporters back home with a gun threat. The crooks decide to beat them to the punch and waylay Lois and Jimmy's trip to retrieve the young girl. The crooks, overhearing all of this (10 feet away from the whole newspaper gang but nobody sees or hears them in the barn!). The solution: go back upstate and bring the girl back to her horse.

"Joey" is homesick for Alice and is lying down in his stall and won't get up. It turns out, they don't have to: the horse is already ailing. When he hears about Joey, the late entry and a possible threat to win the race, he and his goon sidekick travel to the Joey's barn to sabotage that horse. A big bookie in town, meanwhile, has bet thousands on another horse in the race. The latter's daughter "Alice" (Janine Perreau) is heartbroken to say goodbye to her beloved "Joey," but at least the horse is in good hands heading into the big "Jupiter Stakes." To add honey to the sentimental story, White declares that all money won by the horse will go to children's charities. In a sentimental touch (although he'll never admit to it), Perry White buys a race horse for the Daily Planet from an old school chum.
