The Trainer & the Racehorse: Frankel's legend

As part of my research and planning I watched the channel4 documentary, The Trainer & the Racehorse: Frankel's legend. It tells the story of both Frankel and his trainer, Sir Henry Cecil's journeys to success. As I plan to do in my documentary, it explores more of the background and training of both the horses and trainer and great successes are mentioned more as highlights. It follows their process of gaining such fame and recognition, thus consists of quite a few interviews, clips from previous races, as well of stills of family pictures and previous images of Sir Henry riding when he was younger. Moreover something that I have considered after watching this documentary is to also incorporate interviews with those who run the yard day to day, and explore their relationships with the show pony trainers to give my audience a general sense of how their show team is run, something that was featured within this documentary.
