- Synopsis:
- "Dark Horse" is the inspirational true story of a group of friends from a working men's club who decide to take on the elite 'sport of kings' and breed themselves a racehorse. Raised on a slagheap allotment, their foal grows into an unlikely champion, beating the finest thoroughbreds in the land, before suffering a near fatal accident. Nursed back to health by the love of his owners - for whom he's become a source of inspiration and hope - he makes a remarkable recovery, returning to the track for a heart-stopping comeback.

Absolutely terrific. - Dark Horse review by DW
This is a documentary, thankfully without a poncey presenter hogging the limelight. Instead, the very personable "talking heads" are some of the ordinary people who were fortunate enough to "ride" this wonderful roller-coaster journey. Top class home entertainment.

Television documentary - Dark Horse review by JT
Was disappointed with the film, as I had been tempted with the trailer. Was not expecting a television-style documentary. The storyline had great potential but did not like the style of film at all.

Studtastic ! - Dark Horse review by TD
Very entertaining true story and an emotional roller coaster. Well worth watching even if you are not a riding or horsey fan.
