The Great Dan Patch (1949)
I was a horse-crazy 10-year-old when I saw The Great Dan Patch
9 June 2020
I loved the movie although I was only interested in the horse. My beloved Grandpa actually traveled to see Dan Patch race against the clock, and he also knew all the drivers and trainers who traveled the county fair circuit in the 1940s and 1950s. We would go together to watch the early morning training works, and I got to ride with one of the 'tail sitters' as he jogged his horse the wrong way around the track. It was not considered safe to have a small passenger when the horses were being 'breezed' in the racking direction. I never have encountered this movie on TV, but now I will look for a DVD so I can watch it again. (Highland Dale (Dan Patch) was the best equine actor ever.)
