Looking forward to seeing Secretariat. Saw him racing in the Triple Crown. (on TV)

It might take a while, waiting for it to come out on a DVD.

From what I've heard a lot of fiction based on a few facts. It's from Disney don't forget

Warchief, I understand that, but I think they will be using actual footage of his races, which I think would be worth seeing.

It would be nice to get a triple crown winner soon.

the foal used in the play Secretariat in his foaling scene of the WRONG color - it's clearly a bay foal HA!

Not as bad as switching the colour, pattern and BREED of the horse for a movie-from-real-life.

I'm looking forward to enjoying the movie, and not letting the technicalities spoil it for me - Stuff always gets changed around and glossed over when they have to tell a major story in a 2 hour movie ( read any news feature about horses - and then consider how much they get wrong in the stories that you DON'T have any knowledge about!). One thing they left out was Riva Ridge - who had already won the previous Derby and Belmont and pretty much "saved the farm". I hope the movie brings alive some of the excitement and awe most of us felt watching him run on TV, that sucker could send cold chills up your spine.
