    I was just wondering if anyone could give me any help on a problem im having for a few years.
    Ive tried a lot of places and cant get any videos of Eddie Macken and his famous horse Boomerang.
    Ive heard so much about this horse and some of his great achievements ( such as, when he was jumping the big wall against Harvey Smith and Harvey got them to put the wall up higher, he knocked it and boomerang glided over it like a breeze) however im too young to remember this horse and would love to see any videos of him.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think I might have a video tape of some of the 3 in a row Aga Khan team in my attic, if I can find it I'll contact you.

    Hi,

    If you are still seeking a video of Boomerang and Eddie Macken try RTE Television sport. They would have it stored in their archives, I'm sure.
    You could also try the Showjumping Assoc of Ireland who may be able to give you a lead.

    The commentator back then was Brian McSharry, not sure where he is now but you could try RTE sport.

    The commentator nowadays is the guy who does the RTE racing presentation with Ted Walsh.

    Best of luck
