Hopkins made a number of disputed claims, including claims of being a famous distance/endurance Horse racer, winning over 400 races, and the involvement in a legendary 3,000 mile horse race which, supposedly, took place in Arabia , in 1890 . This story was adapted into the 2004 film '' Hidalgo '', which received generally positive reviews. However, some argue that most of Hopkins' claims as depicted in the film, including the existence of any such race in the first place, are ' Tall Tale s' or Hoax es. According to the film, the descendants of the horse Hidalgo, for which the movie was named, live among the Gilbert Jones herd of Spanish Mustangs on Blackjack Mountain in Oklahoma . EXTERNAL LINKS
