I think the full thing will be up later, once it plays on BBC.

Very interesting and already in the short "trailer" to this upcoming film is an extraordinary part where the Queen is riding her pony at age 6. The narrator Clare Balding is a great choice as she is the daughter of Ian Balding who trained many winners for the Queen and also steered the magnificent Mill Reef through his career.

Nice to read this, as the TV magazine gives another program.

Clare Balding is for many years already an excellent commentator with a great knowledge of racing. She also resent other sports sometimes.
It is very sad that the BBC cut in the racingprograms, as everybody loved the comments of Clare and Willie (Carson).
The more I get to know people, the more I love animals.

Turns out, sadly, it's only available to the Brits! I tried to find a 'radio' version but couldn't. Fascinating stuff though.
