Dream Horse (2020)
Could have been better
Had high hopes for this film and it was cast really well but I felt the schmaltzy elements were overblown and really took away from this smashing horse's career.
As a Racing fan in bothered me there were so inaccuracies or omissions. Not just little ones like his first run was at Newbury not Chepstow but Dream Alliance actually ran at the Cheltenham Festival (the biggest meeting by far in the National Hunt Racing calendar) and as a steeplechaser he was second to one of the best chasers ever (Denman) in the Hennessy Gold Cup.
No horse would ever go straight from injury to a Welsh Grand National.
I know non-racing fans who see this film wouldn't get or understand these issues but it bothered me. Decent film in all but could have been much better.
