This title is an acquisition.
Produced in 1964, this film is a ringside view of the chuckwagon race, star attraction of the world-famous Calgary Stampede. Once ponderous Percherons and Clydesdales thundered around the course. Now they are racers, and it takes a firm hand to guide such horsepower. Chuckwagon brings to the screen an exciting account of this extraordinary event.
