Aldaniti, the horse, on which Bob Champion won the Grand National, portrayed himself in the movie.
The lucky horseshoe, given to Champion (Sir John Hurt) by Jo (Jan Francis), and later carried in his boot during the Grand National, was the original one once worn by Bob Champion, who was an advisor on this movie.
The Grand National climax combines filmed footage with real footage of the 1983 Grand National. This real footage shows Royal Mail, the horse that finished third to Aldaniti, falling at Becher's Brook.
Glyn Edwards played a character called Monty, but his part was cut.
Debut theatrical movie of Alison Steadman (Mary Hussey).
"Bob Champion: There are different sorts of courage. Fighting is the lion's courage, but running is the courage of a horse. Running and jumping. A horse will do anything for you, if he's genuine and he loves you."
"Josh Gifford: Whatever happens, however long it takes, you're my first jockey, and your job will stay open. That's a promise."
