Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story of Dream Alliance Mon 5 Oct 1pm £7.20/£5.70 & 6:10pm £9/£7.20 The Sport of Kings becomes the preserve of the working-class in this documentary - a heart-warming David and Goliath tussle between a horseowning syndicate from a small Welsh village and the elite of the racing world. Jan, husband Brian, accountant Howard and other villagers united to defy all the odds, rearing the horse in a local allotment, paying training fees and watching it exceed all their expectations as it became a serious contender in the country’s most prestigious races.
