A fantastic double DVD collection of horseracing's greatest ever contests. Both of the DVDs tell the story of the fortunes won and lost on horses that became household names and of the extraordinary and varied cast of characters who have punctuated the sport's history. DISC ONE features a full history of the jumps, with 25 of the greatest steeplechase races ever run between 1956 and 2006. There are some incredible stories featuring Bob Champion and Aldaniti, Michael Dickinson's first five home in the 1983 Gold Cup, races with Arkle, Night Nurse, Red Rum and Desert Orchid featuring in no less that four of the top 25 races. DISC TWO showcases the 25 greatest flat races since 1938. An amazing selection from Seabiscuit's defeat of War Admiral in 1938 to Persian Punch's emotional third triumph in the Jockey Club at Newmarket and High Chaparral's amazing victory in the 2003 Breeders' Cup meeting - the closest ever. Interspersed, there are the likes of Mill Reef and Secretariat, Grundy and Shergar. Both DVDs are presented by Clare Balding.
