    Inside Natures Giants: Racehorse is brilliant!! It should be on 4od if not on Youtube.
    Edit Just had a look on 4od and its not avaliable anymore. If any can find it its a great watch for anyone interested in horse racing.

    Tough viewing though, I turned off when they started to cut the hoof up the middle with a band saw.

    There was an Aidan O'Brien documentary on YouTube not so long ago from circa 2003/4 I think. Not sure if it's still there!

    Also the first Panorama programme about Racing is on there, think it first aired in 2002!

    Would imagine it was inside info, I mean if Fitzgerald or Kelleway backed one of their own then VC would know it was 'off', if it they could take on their runners. Prob plenty of trainers availed of this, only Gay & Jimmy were found out.

    Btw love the look Fallon gives him on the way back into the weighing room, that's it Kieren my boy, smack that c*nt :D

    not sure if its available, but i absolutely loved "horses" the RTE documentary where they followed paul nolan about for a year or so....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,929 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    ESPN had one on last night about the American horse Charismatic, who so nearly won the Triple Crown in 1999. It was a story of adversity with this unfancied horse coming out of nowhere to compete, and indeed a story of a great jockey Chris Atley who recovered from a drug addiction to partner the horse, only to see everything end tragically. Absolutely brilliant documentary IMO

    Like you I absolutely loved that documentary. So much so that I searched everywhere online for the dvd and bought it (quite a while ago now).
    The website I got it from seems to be down but it's a must if you can find it.
    Well worth buying/watching.

    They replayed this one today and yesterday (and probably another 20 times before the year is out!)

    Nice documentary,his gallops would put some racecourses to shame

    Surely at the very least Racing UK or otherwise will commission a documentary on Kauto Star
