Tommy Berry joins Andrew Le Jeune to tell the story behind one of Hong Kong racing's most memorable match-ups: the 2014 Hong Kong Derby. It's not often a race lives up to the hype. This time it did.

“Even after this place is bulldozed, I hope we will still be able to remember it. It is going to be gone soon and I never want to forget it.” In 2023, the decision to end 180 years of horse racing history in Singapore hit the tight-knit racing community hard. Filmmaker James Gray - who grew up around his trainer father Stephen's Kranji stable - set about paying tribute to the humans and horses that made Kranji such a special place. The result is this documentary film, 'Pakcik-Pakcik Saya: My Uncles', Gray's 'time capsule' that forever preserves what horse racing in Singapore meant to its people.
