BEST of the BETS

it will be awful as all "racing " films are! Hope it shows how few individual horses it ever beat (it beat the same horse over and over again)and NEVER ran the Classic Distance (1 1/2 miles).....not a patch on Dancing Brave, Nijinsky et al Maybe they could cast Elizabeth Taylor as a work rider and John Wayne as travelling head lad!

Quite agree with you hippo, would rather it was classed as the greatest miler, not the greatest
racehorse.

always some grumpy AH ready to try and piss people off, the horse was f***ing mint and the best there ever was and you know it!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont think youve quite got the jist of this Hippo. The movie isnt going to feature racing pundits sitting round a table discussing the merits of his Timeform rating. :rofl:

Frankel never ran the classic distance, he won the guineas, facepalm.

Mugz, I know what a film is! I watched Sea Biscuit and National Beauty!!! Thought this was a racing forum not a Film reviewing service. Much prefer to watch Blazing Saddles than a miler beat about 10 horses in its lifetime! Whay are you featuring the new Tom Cruise movie or a remake of Carry on Nurse! Or was i expecting a panel to sit there and discuss the merits of Sid James and Co!

Spindrifter, great point, so eloquently put!!!....and errr no, i dont know it! never won a 1.5 mile ...the Classic Distance. Never ran in a King George, Arc etc etc etc Good miler, yes, but how many different horses did it ever beat? Just my opinion so dont twist yer knickers, oohhhhhh errrrr missssssus...cue Carry On Sid James Laughter

LOL Mugz.

Sort of agree with Hippo

Carry on Nurse or 'the life and times of a jump jockey' as it is known.

:up:
