What does it take to spot a winning horse? Brent MacGrath may have a hard time putting it into words, but somewhere deep down, he just knows. This documentary tells the story of one remarkable horse, explores the mix of instinct and experience that goes into horse training, and reveals the excitement and strategy of harness racing in a way never before seen on TV.
Somebeachsomewhere (aka Beach) was a legendary harness racehorse often referred to as the Wayne Gretzky of harness racing and was without a doubt one of the greatest stallions of all time. Beach, who was born in United States but made his way to THIS beach in Nova Scotia, won 20 of 21 races throughout his career with over $3 million in earnings. While the harness racing world was devastated by his untimely passing in 2018, his legacy lives on; 11 of the past 14 world champions were Beach babies.
