'Probably no race had a more extraordinary effect on a nation than Australia’s 2002 Melbourne Cup. At the heart of this story is a young jockey who loses his only brother in a tragic racing accident just days before the race, then suffers through a series of discouraging defeats before ultimately triumphing in one of the most thrilling sporting finales of all time.'
