Description
|
Two rival gangs are trying to fix horse races and a jockey is attacked and left for dead in a stage-managed car crash. An insurance investigator makes routine enquiries into the "accident" and one of the gang leaders feels threatened by this and takes counter measures. [TMDB] "The film opens up with a view of the Lingfield Park stands and indeed all of the external racecourse scenes were filmed at this track. The racing action where Blue Rocket flips around at the start and then trails the field by many lengths was very authentic as too were the scenes in the Stewards office following the race. The race commentary is provided by the silky smooth Sir Peter O’Sullevan in his first film role (albeit uncredited) and he too provides the commentary of the race at the end of the film which used archived footage from Hurst Park" - Martin Vinnie Smith (https://www.britishhorseracingmovies.uk/never-back-losers)
