This is a great movie. Even though you know how the racing ends, you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat once the race begins screaming, "Go, Secretariat. Go!" The stakes are so high for Secretariat's owner - losing her beloved horse, her father's farm, the respect of her family, the respect of women in general - that during the race your heart is pounding as fast as Secretariat's. The audience burst into applause at the end of the movie. A wonderful movie. Don't miss it!
