Summary: An Intimate Insight
Comment: On The Muscle gives the viewer an intimate insight into the day to day workings of the racing stable of Hall Of Fame Trainer Richard Mandella. It shows the drama and disappointments on the backstretch, the care and attention that Mandella and his staff lavish on their equine stars. On The Muscle is a must see for anyone interested in the thoroughbred racing, it's brilliant.

Summary: Meat On The Hoof
Comment: In this unprecedented exploration of a world-class Thoroughbred trainer and the runners in his barn, the ending could not have been written any better in Hollywood.
Though the focus is on the 2002 racing season and Breeders' Cup of trainer Richard Mandella, the 3-hour documentary reaches the finish-wire at the 2003 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita Park, where he won a remarkable four races.
The DVD is split into a trio of one-hour segments, with the focus on three runners - Redattore, The Tin Man, Pleasantly Perfect - with other equine athletes - Kudos, Cagney, Ile de France, Brisquette, Listen Indy - being highlighted through their morning workouts and afternoon races.
Unless you are on the backside every day, or an assistant to a top trainer, there will never be an opportunity to truly get this close to the long hours and oftentimes frustrating work that goes into the shaping of a champion.
Fans see the end result on the track; now they can view the rough road that leads from the barn to the starting gate.
