5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone remotely interested in horse racing, 18 Dec 2001

By A Customer

I've watched this video many times and still get the same enjoyment as I did on the first viewing. It's a wonderful story, from what might be called humble beginnings to victories beyond wildest dreams. A horse which has given so much pleasure not only to his owner, trainer and staff closely associated with him, but to thousands if not millions of everyday folk who took him to their hearts with his never ending displays of bravery, courage, guts and determination. It's not until you watch this video years after all his greatest triumphs (and some defeats) that you realise just why the word "legend" befits him so well. He never lost anything in defeat in my eyes as he always tried his best and that's all you can ask for. There are so many memorable moments in this video that you will watch it again and again just to marvel at the sheer bravery of a very special horse and it must have been a privilege and thrill to ride him. The video totally captures everything and more you would expect from the life and career of this true racing legend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent video about the great hero DESSERT ORCHID, 15 Nov 2001

By	Schmitz, R�diger "Rudy" (Neuss, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a must for all fans of the grey DESSERT ORCHID and national hunt racing fans in general. It shows the beginning of the legend's carrer, all the great victories and has many interviews with his trainer, owners and jockeys. It also shows Dessie training and schooling over jumps. A great horse and a video that does him honour.
