Behind the Gate

I just loved every minute of this film! I will watch it again with my friends and family because I learned so much about horse racing and found it incredibly interesting. I happen to love horses but you do not need to love horses to love this documentary. It will no doubt make you want to go to a racetrack after seeing everything that goes on BEHIND THE GATES!!! A must see!!

This film has a great cinematic look and feel. Although it looks beautiful , it is also entertaining and informative. I learned more about what happens behind the scenes of a sport I love. The horses truly are athletes. The team behind the gates are also vital. I loved the look, the story and the journey the film takes the viewer on. Would love to see a part 2 that focuses on more horses' careers and less on the owners per se.

Great and informative. Beautifully photographed and tells it all from top to bottom. Older historic footage with the greatest horses of all time interwoven with modern and current footage is fabulous. Looks like the filmmakers did their job in bringing this gem to the screen. This is the real deal of a film filled with the love of horses to how to bet, how train and loving care for the horses. Awesome interviews from the greatest horsemen is the industry. Kudos to the filmmakers. JW

This film is full of information about the personal lives of horse trainers and how they do what they do. Behind the Gate sparked an interest in horse racing 'I never felt before. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

I have always enjoyed watching the Big races and have only been to the track a handful of times but never understood what went into the sport of horse racing in terms of the love of the animals and the caring that went into these magnificent creatures by the owners, managers and jockeys. This look behind the gate was beautifully photographed. It entertained and educated me on the "sport of kings". Would recommend.
