Ride Like A Girl - Netflix And/Or Amazon

[Ken4155]

Perhaps not as classy as 'Champion' and 'Seabiscuit' in it's production, and despite knowing the outcome, 'Ride Like A Girl' is quite a decent little film. It tells the story of Michelle Payne who, in 2015, became the first female jockey to ride the winner of the Melbourne Cup, supposedly the toughest race in the world over it's distance of 2 miles.Similar to Bob Champion and Aldaniti, Payne and her mount, 100/1 outsider Prince Of Penzance, both overcome injuries to attain their goal. In addition, Payne also has to overcome no small degree of male chauvinism. If you enjoyed either (or both) of the two other films mentioned, I dare say you will enjoy this, too.

Thanks Ken - always glad of a recommendation - I might give it a whirl.

Sounds totally boring.

I guess films can make the most boring story seem more interesting.
Man finds ring and nephew returns it to the manufacturer describes my favourite film (s) but it's a bit more exciting than the description might have you believe :)

What’s that film, Bednobs?

lord of the rings trilogy

[rockyracoon]

Oh lol. I hoped it would be more inviting than that

I enjoyed the movie, nice little flick about someone who overcame the difficulties in their life.

A good story.

I'd like to see that, I like racing movies. Another very good one about the Melbourne Cup is called The Cup - tells the true story of Damien Oliver and Media Puzzle's victory.
Secretariat is also a corker

"Sounds totally boring." Probably a bit too high-brow for someone of your limited attention span, anyway, ILM. Chuckle.

Prudie, Phar Lap is another good 'racing' story. Bit of mystery and controversy surround the horse to this day.
