Great Film, Inspiring story, but. . .
This is a wonderfully acted and wonderfully written biography of champion equestrian Bob Champion's overcoming cancer and continuing his career as a jockey. It's too bad that it was released before he cheated on and dumped the wife who had stood by him through his illness (then as his girlfriend, later his wife). In any case, though, it is an inspiring and uplifting story.

Stunning and wonderful
The story is true. How a sick jockey and an injured horse come back together to win the Grand National is wonderful. Hollywood couldn't come up with this story and in fact it is true. Well worth the price. Janet

They really are "Champions"
A feel-good movie - which in this day and time - is a real treat. It's a story about winning against the odd s- man and horse - both almost written off - return to win the race.
