Can anybody please tell me if it is possible to buy a video or dvd about the career of my favourite racehorse Vain? I have scoured the 'net, including ebay and The Horseman's Bookshop, all to no avail.
In my humble opinion this mighty horse doesn't get the recognition he deserves as Australia's greatest sprinter. I've read about his Golden Slipper and most of his other races but have not seen any film and I arrived in Oz just when he gave the game away.
I remember reading a comment by Pat Hyland who said that Manikato (another candidate for the title) wouldn't have gotten close enough to blow smoke up Vain's backside!! Must have been some sort of a racehorse.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ron
