Racing World Part 1 1989 Video Magazine

This is an interesting curio. Before the racing channels of which we are now so familiar, there was the video magazine. This production nearly 2 hours long is presented by Ch4's Jim Mcgrath and Tracy Piggott, altough perversely she gets no caption of credit.The very first of the series, I have part 2 as well It is more an advertising tool than anything else but there are some rather good ads including one voiced bt the great Patrick Allen. Jonathan Powell is your roving reporter, visiting Barry Hills at Manton and reviewing the twists, bends and undulations of Goodwood with Tony Murray. We follow the birth of a foal and see all the major races up to The King George at Ascot plus a brief NH feature honouring Peter Scudamore and Martin Pipe, plus a great piece on Monty Roberts.
