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.

figures. I didn't care for Seabiscuit. <-- IMO it wasn't about the horse at all
Going to Evaseline Downs to film the movie. How unfortunate.
