Pierce Brosnan pulls off a heist... with a horse swap? Yes, really.
The horse Gay Future is at the centre of an Irish betting syndicate in 1974 which saw trainer Antony Collins present a poor performing horse at his stables. The betting stakes were subsequently raised, before the real horse was entered in the race.
Acting
Brosnan's pre-Bond charm is already fully cooked.
Production
Grainy 70s Ireland feels authentically lived-in.
Director
Frank Cvitanovich
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Brosnan's first major TV role, two years before Remington Steele made him a household name.
The real 1974 Gay Future scandal embarrassed British racing authorities and became folklore in Irish sporting history.
