YOUNG MAN WITH IDEAS, 1952A movie made for TV called MURPHY’S STROKE is well worth a watch.
It’s the story of the Gay Future coup at Cartmel starring Pierce Brosnon if you can get it.
i have phar lap, secretariat and seabiscuit, and drteamer
im trying to get hold of ruffian and shergar, not cost alot, but need region 2, ive searched on ebay bu they all region 1’s anyone by any chance know where i can get my hand on these films in reion 2
and are there any other good racng themed films out there?
vf
Let It Ride is good.
Rainbow Jacket starring Robert Morley and Bill Owen is good, showing some good shots of Lingfield and a few other courses.
In Carry On At Your Convenience, Sid James reads out lists of runners and his budgie cheeps when he gets to the winner.

I think I remember that. iF I remember correctly the Scottish trainer is supposed to break down on route to the course to bring about the two non runners in the bets but he lazily doesn’t bother leaving the yard in the horse box at all and it is this factor that ultimately brings the coup down.
Old thread I know but I did manage get shergar, and phar lap, watched ruffian heartbreaking that one
Of the newest now I’ve watched dream horse. Dark horse and also ride like a girl
Vf x
There’s also Little Miss Marker where Walter Matthau plays a bookie who is given a child as collateral for a bet. I don’t remember too much about it other than a race scene where he has bribed every jockey to let the outsider win (rather than dope it to win with a drug that would result in the horse’s death) which I found quite amusing
Since posting earlier on this thread managed to get my hands on Phar lap and Champions through Amazon in DVD format and Dream Horse in streaming format.
You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.Glad you managed get then rr77
I loved dream horse. Wonder why Janet worked in co-op as till assistant though in it?
In dark horse was cleaner at asda which is her job and she still does I believe
Unless they thought be better for film wisevf x
It seemed like ages since I heard about Dream Horse, must have missed it cinema release or because of the pandemic it might have skipped that. First thing I saw it on the DVD shelf at Asda, so looked on my streaming services when I got home and bought it.
Can thoroughly recommend it.

Don't mess with mister in between.A very good film is Grand National Night (1953). Whilst there are no actual shots of the race itself it’s a fast-paced thriller with a twist at the end and it has great atmosphere.
Also you can now get cheap multi-region DVD players (try Amazon).
rr7 yes it was due for release cinemas but it was just as the pandemic started so it got put back. I think it did come in cinemas about Easter time, but was soon released on DVD etc. Oh yes it is a great film to
GM not heard of that one before will look for it thanks
