Quite entertaining. Most of the racing vocabluary was correct. First bookmaker in the programme was Jackie Levy, who used to trade as Morry Levy.
The programme was first aired in 1964. The Derby at Epsom showed, could have been 1963. Won by Relko, ridden by Yves ST Martin. |

 The Outsiders 1983 (***) In a small Oklahoma town in 1964, the rivalry between two gangs, the poor Greasers and the rich Socs, heats up when one gang member accidentally kills a member of the other. I'm not expecting much but it's a bit of a cast of unknowns ..... C. Thomas Howell... Ponyboy Curtis Matt Dillon ... Dallas Winston Ralph Macchio ... Johnny Cade Patrick Swayze ... Darrel Curtis Rob Lowe ... Sodapop Curtis Emilio Estevez ... Two-Bit Matthews Tom Cruise ... Steve Randle Glenn Withrow ... Tim Shepard Diane Lane ... Cherry Valance Enjoy ....or not  |

Gideon's Way was a bit unrealistic. The "hottest Derby favourite in years" started at 4/1 with Paddy Brennan up, and who'd believe there was a dishonest bookie?

Derby Day (1952 film)
Article Talk Read Edit View history Tools From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Not to be confused with Derby Day (light opera). Derby Day Directed by Herbert Wilcox Written by Arthur Austen John Baines Monckton Hoffe Alan Melville Produced by Maurice Cowan Hebert Wilcox Starring Anna Neagle Michael Wilding Googie Withers John McCallum Peter Graves Suzanne Cloutier Gordon Harker Narrated by Raymond Glendenning Cinematography Mutz Greenbaum Edited by Bill Lewthwaite Music by Anthony Collins Production company Herbert Wilcox Productions Distributed by British Lion Film Corporation Release date 9 May 1952 Running time 84 minutes Country United Kingdom Language English Box office £150,010 (UK)[1] Derby Day is a 1952 British drama film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Anna Neagle, Michael Wilding, Googie Withers, John McCallum, Peter Graves, Suzanne Cloutier and Gordon Harker. An ensemble piece, it portrays several characters on their way to the Derby Day races at Epsom Downs Racecourse. It was an attempt to revive the success that Neagle and Wilding had previously enjoyed on screen together.[2] To promote the film, Wilcox arranged for Neagle to launch the film at the 1952 Epsom Derby.[3] In the United States, the film was released as Four Against Fate. While making the film, Wilding began dating Elizabeth Taylor, who was in London filming Ivanhoe, and later became her second husband.[4] Plot On the morning of the Epsom Derby, a disparate group of people prepare to go to the races. Lady Helen Forbes, a recently widowed aristocrat, is planning to make the journey in spite of the disapproval of her social set who consider it unseemly to go while still in mourning. David Scott, a newspaper cartoonist, is ordered to go by his editor against his wishes. As part of a charity raffle, dissolute film star Gerald Berkeley must reluctantly escort a wealthy grand dame to Epsom. When the woman falls and injures her leg, her crafty housekeeper arranges for one of the young French maids to go in her place. In Hackney, a lodger kills a man whose wife he has been having an affair with. The lodger and the wife plan to flee the country and travel to Epsom, where he knows a tipster who may be able to smuggle them out. Helen and David meet and find themselves sharing confidences, as they were both bereaved in the same air crash. It seems likely that they will meet again. The lodger and the wife are spotted and arrested. A taxi driver's wife fulfils her life ambition to see the races.
