Synopsis

This popular animated TV comedy series is a modern day fairytale following the adventures of five kids growing up in the Auckland suburb of Morningside. The show's fearless, un-PC wit was developed from the poly-saturated comedy of theatre group Naked Samoans. This racetrack episode from the second series opens with Jesus pretending he’s winning Olympic gold on Charisma, before following the lads preparing a horse called Honky to race in the Morningside Cup. Valea faces up to his horse phobia (and an underhand Pommie horse trainer) to ride Honky on the big day.
