Kiwi: The Greatest Comeback in Racing History

[@alibabaoofandangle]

*Wow. That was absolutely fantastic! Kiwi is my favourite Melbourne Cup winning horse, due to the incredible win and his back story around chasing cows with Snowy on board. Loved this movie. Never even knew it existed until it popped up on my KZbin feed today. Bloody outstanding!*

[@pena.3302]

BAGDAD NOTE.,>My Dad Wouldve known.[Kiwi] Aswell.As-Was A great Freind of Bob Heasly.🥝👍Trainer. thanks -Encouraging 👌

[@thorporter8319]

He chased cows a couple times lol they embellish the story to make it sound more exciting

[@Roughnready8]

Grandad asked me to pick him a horse that day. It was Kiwi, the most thrilling win ever 😮❤

[@gerryforde2406]

Because he worked stock Kiwi was able to change direction several times in the home straight without losing any momentum, his balance, his stamina and Pumper's ride - best race ever!

[@brendasymon8712]

Awesome, thanks for putting this on.

[@Rogueproductionsnz]

Our pleasure!

[@keithmockridge3329]

That is one of the best films I've watched in a long time.

[@aaronfarley14]

People will never appreciate how much horses 🐎 meant to smaller communities across Australia 🇦🇺 and New Zealand 🇳🇿 years ago and most of the time now for the million dollar elites!!!!🐎🐎🐎

[@francis-c9s]

Kiwi brought a nation to believe anything is possible, I'll never forget the words 'and here comes Kiwi'. 30 seconds after and Kiwi is last.

[@keithtutor5094]

Remember the race... from memory Jimmy Cassidy in the saddle. New Zealand is understated in the art of film making. I'm saying that because some of the finest films I have seen were made in NZ!

[@TekapereNewton-lj7tn]

I remember kiwi winning the Marlboune cup. That was all Waverly needed to get itself back on its feet. Wonderful horse

[@angibunn1414]

proud to be a Kiwi. love this movie. I remember watching the race on the TV, it was so great.

[@wetawatcher]

Great story.Luptons typical humble Kiwis.The nation’s backbone good hard working independent people.Kia kaha!😎

[@tumairatu1818]

I remember jumping off the couch as a young fella cheering with my dad, both of us doing the shin dig stomp in our lounge, my mum sitting at the kitchen table with her cuppa tea.....a cool moment of Kiwi Pride and joy.....to the memory of the Luptons and the great surprise, the farm hack "Kiwi" Awesome! ❤

[@michaelmccarthy1939]

Unforgettable story of hope and faith ❣️

[@johnprater8191]

I was sitting in class that day and I shouted out KIWI I don’t know why or how I knew but from that moment on I knew KIWI was going to win the cup I was 17 so I got my mum to put $100 on kiwi to win and KIWI was 100/1 .

[@christinestephenson1742]

Awesome movie! I loved every minute of it!

[@johnprater8191]

This was a good movie and I didn’t even know it was made till it popped up today. THE CUP is a very special race and it seems that the best story of the day usealy goes to the winner of the race each year. I have picked a lot of the winners over the years and have a great day every year. It has lost a lot of merit since going international.

[@gavreynolds2689]

Great story, good film.

[@shonarichards3568]

Great name, great horse🎉🎉🎉

[@jenniferrevilla5298]

The farm work is what gave him a good mind. He got to be a horse, the racing was icing on he cake for him. 😍😍

[@jenniferrevilla5298]

Fantastic story and mvie!!!

[@richardosborne2067]

I worked there in 64 :)

[@JohnMardonMardon-zc1te]

Iv always loved racehorses....the movie has shown the true love of the animal and the people who looked after Kiwi....so much more to racehorses than just the punt or winning the big one

[@morrisanderson818]

The movie was hammed up a bit for TV, But loved listening to the race Live,

[@fredlabozzetta7556]

[@lisakane6708]

Was kiwi 🥝 a stallion or a gelding?

[@MissJools11]

He was Gelding.

[@rishichadda2084]

❤

[@ronthornton3466]

I backed noble comment who ran second. It was 50to1.

[@charliehorton5070]

This movie is incorrect. Kiwi was not scratched from the 1984 Melbourne Cup. He ran 4tth behind Black Knight. I can still remember the call of the race from Bill Collins. He called Kiwi finishing fast and he said, it'll be too late today.

[@pauljamison3340]

The 1984 Melbourne Cup was marred by controversy a day before it started when the 1983 Melbourne Cup winner, Kiwi was scratched from the race by the veterinary stewards. This was despite Kiwi's trainer Snow Lupton and Jim Cassidy, the jockey who rode him to the prior year's sensational victory, protesting to his soundness

Full of misleading information and events but the end result was the same!!!!

[@debbiestaite3184]

what are the misleading information and events?

[@cromana5574]

He died young, why?

[@annerud9625]

Not well developed or explained. One of the most uninspiring movies...sadly. they had the ingredients and someone messed it up.

[@traceymiller2038]

Horse racing is an awful terrible cruel sport

[@Addington56]
