Horses
A year in the life of three charismatic racehorses.
What might it be like to be a horse? Not just any horse, but a top-end racehorse in Ireland? This is the question Horses explores, following three promising, charismatic horses over the course of one rather difficult racing year, bringing us into their world and revealing their distinct individual characters. Beautiful, unusual, and highly entertaining, the film combines the drama of a sports movie with the exploration of an ancient human obsession, offering a subtle critique of humanity's quirks on the side.

Bet To Win
TV's wizard of Odds tells all in a remarkable DVD about how to win. He tells you the best you must have and more importantly the bests not to have and after 30 years in the game, who knows more than 'The Belly from the Telly'?! Sometimes it's fun then sad as TV's Robert Cooper asks Gary about how he lost over a million pounds on one race! Yes, this DVD tells the truth but it's a must buy if you have the occasional flutter. You won't get this knowledge anywhere else other than this hour long DVD. If Gary could educate ten per cent of the punters to beat the bookies he'll be happy and believe me, after watching this DVD you'll be on your way. So in Gary's own words ...BE LUCKY!

Transport of a Turret by a Team of 60 Horses
A very heavy turret is transported on a truck drawn by a long line of horses. The inscription “Charlemagne 53790K” readable on the turret suggests that this view was shot in the vicinity of Saint-Chamond, a town where there are factories specializing in the construction of heavy steel. It is certainly a turret intended for the battleship “Charlemagne”. In addition, a view projected by the Aléthorama on January 20, 1898 in Saint-Étienne, and entitled “Transportation of the armored turret of Saint-Chamond by a team of 80 horses”, could represent the same event.

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, this heartfelt documentary follows Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte as he returns to the people and places that mark his life, providing a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of this resilient and legendary jockey.

But a fall in 1978 left Turcotte a paraplegic and put an end to an illustrious 16-year career.
