'''''Dick Francis: Blood Sport''''' is a 1989 adaptation of Dick Francis' 1967 novel ''Blood Sport''. It was one of the three Dick Francis adaptations released as TV movies in 1989 starring [[Ian McShane]] as jockey club investigator David Cleveland, along with ''[[Dick Francis: In the Frame|In the Frame]]'' and ''[[Dick Francis: Twice Shy|Twice Shy]]''. Oddly enough, the character of David Cleveland was only the protagonist in one Dick Francis novel, ''Slay Ride'', but is the protagonist in all three films.
