At the turn of the twentieth century, when horses were everywhere, Dan Patch was one of the most famous of them all. His owner, M, W.

Here Tim Brady tells the fascinating story of an era, an entrepreneur and a well-loved horse who set a world record at the Minnesota State Fair that held for more than thirty years. Bonus DVD: Rare footage of Dan Patch racing, plus newsreels filmed at the farm where M. W. Savage raised and trained Dan and other horses.
