Bet On It! Horse Racing 3D trailer [01:39]
BET ON IT! HORSE RACING 3D is a lively film for old and new fans of horse racing. The film follows a punter from the moment when she purchases a betting slip until her winnings are paid out. After a brief introduction to the history of the Munich racecourse the documentary shows the jockeys training. In slow motion sequences we learn how professional racing jockeys keep their balance at 60 kph. Wolfgang Figge, Germany's most successful trainer of racehorses, explains why his thoroughbred horses are so successful. The 3D camera looks over the shoulder of a judge as he assesses a close finish. Further sequences cover the horse walker, parade ring, preliminary canter, and weigthing the jockeys. 3D animations show how betting works and how the winning odds are calculated. The highlight of the film is an exciting racing sequence.
