I was so glad to find this video on the web. It took a little longer to ship but when I finally got it I couldn't play it. The message says "PLAYBACK IS NOT AUTHORIZED IN YOUR REGION". Is there something that I need to do? Can I still get this to play on my dvd player? If not why wasn't I informed of this at the time of the purchase. What does region 2 mean? I'm not familiar with this.

5 BIG STARS

This is a fantastic movie that would be as successful as Seabiscuit if people knew about it. I want to buy several copies but can't find it in DVD...please release on DVD!

Quality and Speed of Service
Added 5/7/2009
I was very pleased with the condition I received the DVD. It was ordered as a gift for my mother's birthday. When it showed up on her birthday, I was even happier. No scratches, and the box was in good condition, as was the slip cover for the movie. This is not the first item I have ordered from Amazon, but it was the first DVD. I recommend that if someone wishes to purchase movies or even CD's from Amazon, please do so!

One of the best true story films of all time!
Added 12/26/2008
I loved this film and for years have meant to buy it, and I want to own this one so bad that I am buying a multi-region DVD player, so I can buy the Australian or UK version, just to be able to watch it again! That is how good this movie is!
It is based on the true story of Phar Lap, a horse picked up by a struggling trainer in Australia, and a horse that then became the best racer in all of Australia, and was so much better than all the competition there, that they took him to the Americas, where there is a very sad, and true to American form, ending.
If you like movies that are strong, based on true stories, about horses and racing, and have a really great but sad story, then this is a great movie for you!
I highly recomend this one and if I could I would give it 5 and 1/2 stars!
