Set against the backdrop of relevant historical events in Ireland \u201cTHE IRISH DERBY\u2013 N\u00edos M\u00f3 N\u00e1 R\u00e1sa\u201d<\/strong> (More Than a Race) captures the essence of one of Ireland\u2019s greatest sporting traditions, the Irish Derby, from its humble beginnings in 1866 to becoming a top international race and attracting some of the leading racehorse owners in the world. With unique access to the Curragh racecourse, training yards, stud farms and rare archive footage the fascinating one-hour documentary merges its colourful and inspirational past with its exciting future, through the new multi-million-euro redevelopment.<\/p>\n

The programme explores the big turning points in the history of this iconic race including the great Orby, the first horse to win both the Epsom and the Irish Derby in 1907 and Joe McGrath\u2019s influence in the revitalisation of the race in 1962, when it became the richest race in the world. It also showcases other giants of the turf that came and conquered such as Galileo, Nijinsky, Shergar, Windsor Slipper and some not as fortunate like Sir Ivor in 1968 but that defeat proved \u2018an ill wind can blow some good\u2019.<\/p>\n

Revealing accounts come from trainers Aidan O\u2019 Brien, Charles O\u2019 Brien, Dermot Weld, Jim Bolger, John Gosden, John Oxx, Joseph O\u2019 Brien and Michael Stoute, jockeys Frankie Dettori and Seamie Heffernan, former jockeys Lester Piggott, Michael Kinane and Pat Smullen and John Magnier Coolmore Stud to name but a few.<\/p>\n

Here’s a taste of the documentary to whet the appetite-\u00a0 https:\/\/youtu.be\/aoe97r05xNE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

There are also significant sound bites from Vincent O\u2019 Brien. Renowned for its characters and celebrities, including show business legend Bing Crosby, this big day out at the historic Curragh racecourse is one of the most important dates on the social calendar. Former top fashion designer Ib Jorgensen played his part in the glamour stakes, by making sure his clients didn\u2019t turn up in the same outfit.<\/p>\n
