This is true Disney. Diane Lane was terrific as Penny Tweedy. Great family movie that shows that will and determination can lead to great things. In racing, luck plays a larger part, as the movie shows. However, I wish they would have focused more on Secretariat the horse. Why "Big Red"? He was over 17 hands, with a stride that covers over 17', etc. The movie did revive a great personal memory.....I was at the Ky Derby that Secretariat won.....with my future wife now of 34 years......
