Frankel::The World's Greatest Racehorse Returns [01:43]
I OWN NOTHING BUT THE EDITING. *EDIT* Simply superb. Frankel is magic. 10 from 10. Just the greatest. No flat horse has ever got me this excited. Can't wait to see where he goes next! In one week, the highest rated racehorse (or is he joint with BC? whatever, in my eyes Frankel is superior to Black Caviar, controversial I know-dont eat me!) in the world returns in the Lochinge Stakes at Newbury. I for one cannot wait and hopefully he will smash up his rivals once again. There's a couple if glitches in the video, SV wouldn't play it back properly but hopefully they're not too major. Does everyone else think Frankel will be better this season? Anyway, enjoy the video, it's nothing special but I couldn't resist making it as a tribute to the returning superstar ^^ (Now back to revising, exams start on tuesday!)

Northerly - tribute video [01:20]
A tribute video dedicated to Northerly, arguably the best Australian middle-distance thoroughbred horse of the early 2000s, from Western Australia. This video was created after his induction into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2010. Nicknamed "The Fighting Tiger", his major wins included the two Cox Plates, two Underwood Stakes and a Caulfield Cup. Northerly sadly passed away on 9 May 2012, euthanised after an attack of colic. He was 16 years old.

Beetlejuice bets on the horses [00:39]
Horse racing is an equestrian sport that has a long history. Archaeological records indicate that horse racing occurred in ancient Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Both chariot and mounted horse racing were events in the ancient Greek Olympics by 648 BC. In the Roman Empire, chariot and mounted horse racing were major industries. Thoroughbred racing was, and is, popular with the aristocrats and royalty of British society, earning it the title "Sport of Kings." The style of racing, the distances and the type of events vary significantly by the country in which the race is occurring, and many countries offer different types of horse races. There are three major types of racing: flat racing, steeplechasing (racing over jumps), and harness racing, where horses trot or pace while pulling a driver in a sulky. A major part of horse racing's economic importance lies in the gambling associated with it, an activity that in 2008 generated a world-wide market worth around US$115 billion. Various types of racing have given rise to horse breeds that excel in the specific disciplines of each sport. Breeds that may be used for flat racing include the Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, Arabian, Paint, and Appaloosa. Steeplechasing breeds include the Thoroughbred and AQPS. Harness racing is dominated by Standardbred horses in Australia, New Zealand and North America, but several other breeds, such as the Russian Trotter and Finnhorse, are seen in Europe.
