During WWII, Australia's sports lovers were denied access to
national and international sport, something which had captivated
them since long before Federation. The popularity of racing and
prize fighting during this time was amazing. Two of the most
admired sports heroes were a dynamic southpaw boxer named Vic
Patrick and a thoroughbred equine diva named Flight. Their careers,
which ran side by side, had great similarities. Each was extremely
talented, each created history and each showed a stark, remorseless
courage which epitomised the war years. This is their story, acted
out in front of the Diggers (Australian soldiers), so many of whom
were not only great soldiers but likeable larrikins and inveterate
gamblers, lovers of the punt.
