Warner Bros. Japan describes the anime as follows:

It’s 1890, in America, the Steel Ball Run — the first horse racing championship across the North American continent — was about to begin. Spanning around 4,000 miles, the race offered 50 million dollars as the winning prize.

Johnny Joestar, once being hailed as a genius jockey, is now paralyzed and lost in despair. He finds hope in the mysterious phenomena caused by Gyro Zeppeli, an outlaw aiming to win the race, and determines to participate in the Steel Ball Run Race.

Each having their own goal in mind, the two form an alliance and set foot upon the grueling adventure and race.
