LAFFIT-ALL ABOUT WINNING-Story of horse racing's most successful jockey--DVD

Description: LAFFIT - ALL ABOUT WINNING Documentary narrated by KEVIN COSTNER Digital Color Running time approximately 96 minutes LANGUAGE: English, Spanish From humble beginnings in Panama, watch as the determined Laffit takes the American horse racing world by storm. Unforgettable moments including Laffit's duel with legendary jockey Bill Shoemaker, a tragic fall that might have meant the end, induction into the Hall of Fame, and a glorious win at the Kentucky Derby make this documentary an inspirational tale of triumph against great odds. As Laffit himself would often say, "Quitting is the only time you lose for sure!" A documentary that outlines Laffit Pincay Jr's illustrious 39 year horse racing career as one of the most competitive and successful jockeys ever to ride a thoroughbred race horse. Narrated by Kevin Costner, this documentary looks at the remarkable life of one of the greatest figures in the history of horse racing -- Panamanian jockey Laffit Pincay Jr. In a career that spanned three decades, Pincay would win the Triple Crown riding Affirmed, take down the Kentucky Derby on Swale, and beat Bill Shoemaker's record for most wins ever. The film explores Pincay's roots in Panama, the intense diet and fitness regimen, reminiscent of athletes like Lance Armstrong or Karl Malone, that allowed him to stay at the top of his game for so long; the incredible dangers of the sport (only a broken neck kept him from racing into his sixties); his superstitious insistence on wearing his underwear inside out; his often troubled marital life; and the inner fire and verve that made him the world's greatest jockey.
