Racing Stripes was released on DVD and VHS on by Warner Home Video.ĭuring a thunderstorm, a traveling circus, Circus Sarano, accidentally leaves behind a baby plains zebra ( Jansen Panettiere) after replacing a flat tire. The foal is rescued by widower and former racehorse trainer Nolan Walsh ( Bruce Greenwood), and is taken to his farm where his 13-year-old daughter, Channing ( Hayden Panettiere) names him Stripes. He meets a Shetland pony named Tucker ( Dustin Hoffman) a Saanen goat named Franny ( Whoopi Goldberg) and a rooster named Reggie ( Jeff Foxworthy). The next day, Stripes soon becomes convinced that he is destined for the nearby racetrack, Turfway Park, not realizing that he is a zebra and is not qualified to race. Two foals named Trenton's Pride (Kyle Alcazar) and Ruffshodd (Frankie Ryan Manriquez) decide to race Stripes until they are stopped by Pride's father, three time Kentucky Open champion, Sir Trenton ( Fred Dalton Thompson). Three years later, after racing the mailman again, an adult Stripes ( Frankie Muniz) meets an Arabian filly named Sandy ( Mandy Moore) and develops a crush on her after losing to the mailman in their usual race. While talking to Sandy, he is approached by Pride ( Joshua Jackson) and Ruffshodd ( Michael Rosenbaum), Stripes' tormentors since childhood while Channing's bloodhound, Lightning ( Snoop Dogg) is lazy and talks while he rests. Pride challenges Stripes to a racing match at a secret race track in the woods called the Blue Moon Races he accepts, but loses the race. The following day, Tucker, having secretly watched Stripes, approaches him and suggests that he gets proper training first. Stripes, in need of a rider, chooses 16-year-old Channing and convinces a new farm animal, a pelican named Goose ( Joe Pantoliano), to sabotage Channing's motorcycle and Old Blue, Nolan's old pickup truck, so that Channing can ride him to her workplace at Turfway Park. The plan works, and Channing, with Nolan's reluctant approval, rides Stripes to Turfway Park.
