5.0 out of 5 stars The year of Dancing Brave, 20 Feb 2003

By	Rob V - See all my reviews

Horseracing fans and, particularly, admirers of Dancing Brave will love this video. It commences with a short introduction on how the "racehorse" evolved from thousands of years ago - from tiny forest dwellers into today's thoroughbreds. This was interesting but not that essential for the video in my opinion.
After that intro, it focuses the total attention on the phenomenon himself ... Dancing Brave.
It shows the first two races of Dancing Brave's 2 year old season ... winning them both without being asked a lot to do. Shortly after, the film progresses to show him in his 3 year old season ... which is the primary objective as the video promises.
From then on, my attention was gripped and all the memories of this brilliant racehorse came flooding back to me. The 2000 guineas is the first race where you really get to witness the awesome finishing speed of Dancing Brave ... blowing away the opposition with his devastating acceleration.
The "Brave's" first defeat in the derby is shown thereafter and what a heartbreaker it is ... seeing him just fail after coming from a mile back with an incredible late surge.
Between the 9 races, this video shows interviews with Guy Harwood, Pat Eddery, Khaled Abdulla and a host of other racing's main men all praising this terrific thoroughbred. It also shows fascinating information of Dancing Brave's sire and dam.
I constantly marvelled at Dancing Brave in each of his races ... especially the "Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe" which is the climax to the video. The "Arc" race on this tape is worth the price of this video alone. Here, you get to see Dancing Brave at his best ... the breathtaking, electrifying speed he conjures up to demolish a top notch field of other great racehorses at the "death" of the race is a sight to behold.
Go and buy this video now ... and you'll believe that a horse can fly!

5.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT RACEHORSE, 26 Jul 2004

By	A. Potter (braintree,united kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This video is worth purchasing just to see the epsom derby when he was beaten but was stone last with 3 furlings to go and finish like a 5 furlong sprinter.his arc victory also makes brilliant viewing where he smept past a very high quality field consisting of english,french and irish derby winners.
