Secretariat

In 1973,  Secretariat won the Triple Crown.  Penny Chenery was the owner of this horse and managed to make her way through a male dominated business to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and Secretariat is considered by many to be the greatest racehorse of all time.

This however, is in my opinion, not the greatest horse movie of all time.  This movie is in fact about Penny Chenery, not Secretariat.  It is a sweet, feel good type flick that is missing any sense of wonder. Which is sad as I think it could have been so much better.

It drags and my friends that accompanied me all fell asleep.  It also doesn't have enough of the horse in it to really appeal to children.  If you are looking for an amazing horse racing movie try Seabiscuit or even better- The Black Stallion, both are much more entertaining.
