Ok so how does the plot go? Joseph is in a wheel chair till the age 17 then has a car wreck a week before the big race and Dad ties him to the mount! Wins it in the final jump, saving Coolmore from Bankruptcy and the family farm. This is made for TV all the way... Not a dry eye in the cinema.

Ah, yes......it's a sentimental story, alright.
Loses a little of it's lustre, though, when you factor in that Ballydoyle has the resources to finance the project 100 times over, along with purchasing all the rights, and opening the studio and production unit to create it.

Coolmore and bankruptcy don't belong in the same sentence.

Breed to the best .. breed to Spendthrift!.. At one time the same might have been said about them.
