The Story Of Horse Racing tells the story of fortunes won and lost on horses that became household names, and of the extraordinarily varied cast of characters who have punctuated the sport's history.
Racing is really two sports, the high finance and fashion of the flat, contrasting with the grit and sometimes grim realities of the jumping scene.
The first programme concentrates solely on flat racing and includes rare black and white footage from the turn of the century, major racing occasions, special coverage of the early Derbys, with the brilliance of pint-sized Sir Gordon Richards, and the ruthless artistry of Lester Piggott, the greatest jockey of all time.
Central to the second programme on jumps racing is the second programme on jumps racing is the rise of the Cheltenham Festival to its unique place in today's sporting calendar and the men and women who have carved their names in the record book - Vincent O'Brien, Pat Taffe, fred Winter, Jenny Pitman, John Francome and Tony McCoy, who became the most successful jockey of all time in August 2002.
Of course, no story of horse recing would be complete without highlights from the world's best known race. the Grand National, and we see how it has maintained its place in the heart of the nation through the triumphs of horses such as Red Rum and Aldaniti.
