Dual Grand National hero Tiger Roll honoured in 45-minute Betfair film ‘The Horse Of A Lifetime’

BETFAIR have released a 45-minute documentary film on dual Grand National hero Tiger Roll.

‘The Horse Of A Lifetime’ looks back at the career of the great chaser, who became the first horse since Red Rum to win back-to-back Aintree marathons last season.

The Gordon Elliott-trained star was due to chase an historic third win in the world’s biggest race, but the meeting was cancelled due to the Covid-19 crisis.

The film gives first-hand accounts of his many ups and downs with unique behind the scenes access and discussion with the people who have been key to his success.

Robyn Ree, co-producer of the documentary which is also available on YouTube, said: ‘’Working on the Tiger Roll documentary has been a roller coaster ride. In an industry as fast paced as Horse Racing the story of Tiger Roll was and continues to constantly evolve.

“Filmed over a six-month period, we followed a number of people who can claim credit for Tiger Roll’s success throughout the years. Betfair’s access to these world-class individuals provided us with the unique opportunity to tell the full story of the Horse of a Lifetime’’
