The daily experience of life among Thoroughbreds
On the Muscle: Portrait of a Thoroughbred Racing Stable
gives you an in-depth look at a year and a day inside the training barn of
Richard Mandella, one of America's top trainers. In three one-hour episodes,
you'll witness firsthand the level of caring and horsemanship required to fine
tune the peak performances of elite racehorses.
Mandella's top horses: Pelasantly Perfect, The Tin Man, Redattore, Kudos, Ile de
France and Brisquette are the stars of the show. Through them you will meet the
close-knit family of grooms, hotwalkers, exercise riders, the assistant trainer
and the veterinarian who turn raw talent into winning form. Jockeys Alex Solis,
Julie Krone and Mike Smith make feature appearances.
As the film begins, Mandella is on the brink of what may be racing's greatest
achievement. By the end of the series, he makes history by winning an
unprecedented four Breeders' Cup races in one afternoon.
On the Muscle delivers the daily experience of life among Thoroughbreds.
It's the next best thing to being there! |
