New Netflix series on racing “Race for the crown”

First 10 minutes in, there’s Eight Belles seconds from her accident… but it’s all about the garish owner of Big Brown. What a chump.

It’s so far an assault on my belief in humanity vs greed. Makes the Polo series look charitable.

Anyway. 5.75 episodes still to go…

I watched it. I was not impressed. These people are from another planet.

There’s already a thread about the series here: Race for the Crown - Racing - Chronicle Forums

I will say that I didn’t like the first 2 episodes at all. But it got much much better after that.

Agree with @LaurieB - the episodes that don’t feature the asshat owners are worth watching.

Oh my bad! I fid have a quick look but missed it!

Frankie Dettori’s segment is worth watching, definitely.

So I just watched the episode featuring Larry Demeritte (West Saratoga), and thought “wow what a battler! How’s he doing?”. So I Googled his name.

He died yesterday.

Rest in a field of gallant racehorses, Larry.
