DARK HORSE narrates the extraordinary true tale of a barmaid from a former mining town in South Wales who raised a racehorse on her small plot of land, which eventually became a champion. Jan, who had previously bred dogs and birds, believed she could replicate her success with a different animal, despite having no knowledge of horse racing and never having ridden a horse. She persuaded a few locals to contribute ten pounds a week to her venture, acquired a thoroughbred mare with a poor racing history for £300, and paired it with an aging stallion. Defying all expectations, she managed to breed a winner. This is a daring story of luck, chance, and overcoming the odds; it tells how a group of working-class individuals from the Welsh Valleys challenged the racing elite, transcended class and financial obstacles, and restored hope and pride to their struggling community.
