...précis of this movie makes it sound like the stickiest entertainment since Shirley Temple retired from Sunnybrook Farm. Casey's Shadow is about a family -one crusty dad, three cute sons, no mom -that raises quarter horses in Cajun country. The family is dirt poor and luckless, until the day Dad gets his hands on a promising foal. He names the colt Casey's Shadow because of its attachment to his youngest son, and decides to race it in the $1 million All-American Futurity at Ruidoso, N. Mex. Will Dad be able to come...
