The story

While out on a morning run by a race track, Charley Thompson, a 15-year-old who has just moved with his dysfunctional single father Ray to Portland, Oregon, finds casual work looking after a racehorse named 'Lean On Pete'. Pete's owner, Del, is an ornery man who assigns all the grunt work at the stables to Charley, but also attempts to bond by gifting him a pair of boots and teaching table manners. Charley opens up about not knowing his birth mother, and how his father does not let him see Aunt Margy, Charley's only maternal figure.
