Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] telford successful?

the part of the story that says that telford had established himself as a successful trainer is inconsistant with the movie. in fact, in the movie there is a scene where telford talks about training all his new horses the same and them all being "duds". this needs to be edited.

also, on the sleve for the vhs version of this movie it is claimed that pharlap's success was impeded by the racing comission because pharlaps trainer was jewish and the racing comission was anti-semetic. what? there is little reference to dave davis being jewish and anti-semetism had nothing to do with the commissions grudge against pharlap. pharlap won and won and won. nobody wanted to put their horses against him and the bookmakers wouldnt take any bets for pharlap because he always won. why do people inject this type of crap into the sleve of a movie? does the myth of antisemetism need to be spread that badly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.102.19.127 (talk) 01:10, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
