ABOUT

This was a short film (now currently being created into a feature) based on true events back in the 80's. The story is there to portray the harshness of a jockeys lifestyle when training long hours and having to keep their weight down consistently.

This particular short film was based around jockey Dandy Nicholls. It shows how he came out of the gates in 1982 with a 33:1 chance of winning but yet he and the Guinness world breaking horse, Soba (belonging to my Grandma) took everyone by surprise and the duo began achieving things beyond their wildest dreams.
