Horse Racing Movies

Here is a list of all the horse racing movies I could find in the TV Guide Motion Picture Database. This is by no means to be considered a complete list as it is difficult to get them all to show up when searching. Each movie is linked to its entry in that database which includes a plot summary, review, cast, and credits. I have also included links to Amazon.com when I could find them available on DVD or VHS. I am also including a search box for eBay if you want to try and find some of the out-of-print tapes not available on Amazon. If you would like more information on classic movies, try Brad Lang's Classic Movies site.

If you know of any movies I have missed, please let me know so I can add them to the list.
