Secretariat begins filming? The movie finished filming a long time ago, is about to be released, and some of my friends have already been to see it. They say it's great, by the way. The trailer looks excellent.

OPENS in theaters Oct. 8th 2010.

BTW, in most of the stories abt the last Triple Crown winner, there is one piece of the story missing .

I hope people remember what a great horse Secretariat was and go see this movie. The Belmont was a “man walks on the moon” moment for me. I can remember exactly were I was when Secretariat put a huge PERIOD! on his Triple Crown! Sen. Fred Thompson is also in it.

That horse was supernatural....
1 in a billion....i remember watching him as a kid...i will see the movie!

It looks like a great movie.

BTW, another movie this guy made was Miracle.

It was a great movie, one of the few that I’d consider not all “PC” - an American exceptionalism type movie. If Secretariat is the same, it’s going to be great.

I saw Secretariat race, unfortunately it was the one he lost. He was still beautiful. I wish I had the foresight to keep some of the betting tickets people threw on the ground after as a momento. They had only betting to win - place and show bets were disallowed.

The eloquence of irony that this movie of " Big Red " the wonder horse " comes out right before the November elections.
It kinda parallels the story of the Tea Party and the new movement going on in this country.

BIG RED .. the wonder horse.

Will Dana Bash or Contessa Brewer play the role of Secritariat?

Somewhere, amongst all my stuff, is an uncashed $2 WIN ticked from the 1974 Belmont Stakes. Had a buddy who was going to Belmont that day pick one up for me....just in case.

Can a fast dog like a Grey Hound out run a horse?

Bet it could in a 100 yard dash, or the 440.

I saw 3 of Secretariat’s races in person, and saw him at the farm 6 times. I had hopes for this movie.

Unfortunately, based upon reviews in the racing press, this movie is Disney-Confabulates-Secretariat. If you know much about horses or racing, it will probably make you crazy. If you know specifics about the people, it will make you crazier. [Pancho Martin was not a villain...]

When I read that the music played over the Belmont footage is “O Happy Day”, I knew I must not see this movie.

It isn’t as bad as Ruffian [Ruffian, a tall filly, played in part by a stocky gelding...] but it sounds cringe-worthy.

I hope they do a good job with this. I absolutely adored that beautiful big red horse.

The world speed record for 1 1/2 miles on a dirt track still stands.
