"Racing Stripes" is the tale of a baby zebra named Stripes (voiced by Frankie Muniz), who is raised by horse trainer Nolan Walsh (Bruce Greenwood) and his young daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere) on their Kentucky farm. Stripes becomes part of an eclectic barnyard family, led by grumpy Shetland Shetland, former county, Scotland: see under Shetland Islands. pony Tucker (voiced by Dustin Hoffman) and Franny (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg), a sharp-tongued but loving nanny goat. Stripes and Channing both dream of racing in the prestigious Kentucky Open -- Stripes knows that if he can just get onto the track, he will leave all the other horses in the dust. What he doesn't know is...he's not exactly a horse. Stripes makes some friends down at the track as well, most notably the manic horsefly horsefly, common name for the large hairy flies of the family Tabanidae. Male horseflies feed on pollen and nectar, but the females suck blood as well and are common pests of animals and sometimes of humans. The bites of many species are very painful. The larger horseflies, e.g., the mourning horsefly and the 1-in. (2. duo Buzz (voiced by Steve Harvey) and Scuzz (voiced by David Spade), whose love of song and dance is eclipsed only by their love of hot dogs and horse poop.

As Stripes thrusts himself into a world of elite athletes, intense competition and enormous stakes, he must prove he's fast enough and tough enough to run with the big horses if he wants to land in the winner's circle at the Kentucky Open. Some champions are born, not bred!
