    Very good film. Especially the Lewes bit, where he had 52 winners. The sign at the Racecourse was donated by our Group (Now called the Lewes Racecourse History Group), for the 50th Anniversary of the closure of the course.

    nicely researched and the Dave Yates is always very engaging. but visually a bit ropey - like a very low budget WW2 one you'd see on the history channel.

    Referring to the Derby as the “colts’ classic” is inaccurate . The race is also open to fillies .
