Miracle Racehorse Dream AlliancePaperback, 24 February 2020

How could a horse born and bred on a disused allotment by a rag-tag syndicate of twenty-odd members become the world famous subject of awards' winning documentary, Dark Horse and the star of a major, international film, Dream Horse? It beggars belief, but it happened and it happened for as little as ten pounds, per week contributed by each member. What started out as, "a bit of a fun to breed a horse to get on a racecourse" developed into literally the ride of a lifetime. Dream Alliance - Miracle Racehorse, is an insightful, honest and humorous account told by the author (played in Dream Horse by Golden Globe/Primetime Emmy winning, Damian Lewis OBE) who managed the syndicate from its conception through to its dissolution in 2012. From the depths of despair as the horse's life hung by a thread to the peak of elation as he recovered to take on the best horses in the country these actual events gave rise to one of the best underdog (sorry, horse) stories ever.
