Champions (1984)
Dit is het waargebeurde verhaal van Bob Champion, een getalenteerde jockey die op jonge leeftijd af te rekenen krijgt met kanker. Tegen alle verwachtingen in, herstelt Champion volledig van zijn ziekte en wordt zelf weer zo fit dat hij in 1981, samen met zijn paard Aldaniti, aan de Grand National Steeple Chase kan deelnemen.
