I've been going to the races and following the horses since before I can honestly remember. For example, my best recollection of being in the stands for Secretariat's amazing run in the Belmont was not the race, but the stands shaking so much beneath my feet. Quite an experience for a little guy who just turned 4! Two of my favorite fellow handicappers are my brother and my father. My one year old daughter is already showing signs of loving the horses :>) My favorites...how about Wajima, Spectacular Bid, Fancy Naskra, Five Star Flight, Christmas Past, Princess Rooney, Lady's Secret, With Approval, Paradise Creek, Sunday Silence, Unbridled, Skip Away, Free House. Musket Man and Rachel Alexandra, just to name a few.
This blog is, and always has been, my medium for sharing my love for thoroughbred horse racing with the world. While I always do my best to relay my thoughts and information on everything going on within the sport, sometimes words alone are simply not enough to capture the essence and the heartbeat of racing. Today I was passed on a wonderful piece that does just that.
It is called A Sporting Chance, and it is a horse racing documentary created by film maker Eric Averkiou. This video is the edited version of the full 30 minute film. Eric describes the film as, “A documentary film following the daily struggles, tribulations and excitement of the Horse racing industry. Filmed at the headquarters of racing, Newmarket England, the film follows a trainer, a Jockey and numerous staff who work tirelessly for the love of this amazing sport.”
Without further adieu, please enjoy A Sporting Chance …
