Based on the Triple Crown winning thoroughbred from 1973, this story is more about owner Penny Chenery and her struggle in battling the male-dominated world of competitive horse breeding and racing.
Don't let the Disney label keep you away from seeing this film because this is one of the most heartfelt films that I've seen in quite a while. As much as I enjoyed Seabiscuit, Secretariat is the horse film that brought tears to my eyes...
Directed by Randall Wallace (writer of Braveheart and We Were Soldiers) and written by Mike Rich (former Nicholl Fellowship winner), this is a well-crafted gem.
Highly recommended...
