Dream Horse (Cert PG)
Dir Euros Lyn UK 2021 113 mins
A film drama with a very special local interest as it’s based on the true story of the astonishing success of race horse Dream Alliance, trained by Phil Hobbs of Sandhill Racing Stables in Minehead.
Cleaner and bartender Jan Vokes, played by Toni Collette, recruits her reluctant husband Brian and local accountant Howard Davies to help her bring together a syndicate of villagers to breed a foal, which they raise on their allotment in South Wales and name Dream Alliance.
On the race track, with the help of trainer Phil Hobbs, Dream Alliance proves himself to be more than a match for the multi-million-pound race horses he comes up against – a true working-class champion, taking on the establishment at their own game.
Dream Horse is a classic story of triumph over adversity, and a tale of how a woman to make her dream a reality where hope is thin on the ground.
The film also stars Damian Lewis and Siân Phillips.
