From the Observer:
Bob Champion, the National treasure who keeps on running
Huge thanks for that article, Jer!
Champions is one of the best equine movies ever & it’s now on
DVD.
Watching the opening scenes with the real Aldaniti galloping along is
priceless & I’m tearing up just thinking about it!
Great news to hear Bob Champion is still hale & hearty, he was named well!

I have a signed first edition of his book.
My horses have Rag Trade’s damsire (Cagire) in their pedigrees.
i have both his book and movie about his life. what a great story of both the horse and jockey!! 
Wonderful story and I HIGHLY recommend the movie. It was well-treated by Hollywood (of course, there is no possible way to make the real story any better/more unbelievable than it already is).
I had no idea the odds were so bad and that 1981 treatment was so primitive. Incredible he made it.
