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.

It's not as if Saratoga and Belmont do not have plenty of time open without racing going on. Sigh.

Sigh, I don't know why Hollywood cannot simply tell the story without descending into untrue sentimental goo, or making things up. I resented the way War Admiral was presented in Seabiscuit.
