"An inspirational, feel-good movie"
★★★★ Any Lea, Daily Star

"The feelgood Brit-com is back!" 
★★★★ Kevin Maher, The Times 

"The resulting movie may be a bit schmaltzy - actually, a lot schmaltzy - but I couldn't help enjoying it: like Chariots of Fire, only with horses."
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"The vital race scenes are well staged, Lyn ratchets up both tension and Welshness to good effect and if you don't come out singing 'Why, why, why...?' I'll be very surprised."
★★★★ Matthew Bond, The Mail on Sunday
