Synopsis
A housewife with little knowledge of horse-racing fosters one of the greatest race horses of all time as the story of the 1973 Triple Crown winner comes to the screen in this inspirational underdog drama based on the novel Secretariat: The Making of a Champion by William Nack and starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich. Penny Chenery (Lane) is a devoted mother and housewife whose ailing father is the proprietor of Meadow Stables in Virginia. When her father becomes too ill to tend to his horses, Penny agrees to take over the stables despite her inexperience. Desperate, she turns to veteran horse trainer Lucien Laurin (Malkovich) to help show her the ropes. Up to this point, horse racing has been a decidedly male-dominated sport. But with Lucien's help, Penny prepares to prove that gender has no bearing on one's ability to breed a fast race horse. As Secretariat blasts out of the gates to leave his competition in the dust, the whole world watches in amazement, and a legend is born. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

really great family movie
February 18, 2011I loved this movie! great true story - everyone has heard of Secretariat, but I didn't know many details about the owner or horse, so it was really fun to find out more about the history behind the great athlete. I thought the actors did an amazing portrayal of the time period and characters. I loved seeing such a strong female persona pursuing her dreams, especially during the times when females did not normally take on those roles.

Penny an ordinary house-wife inherits her fathers horse farm. And instead of selling it she decides to fix it up and train some horses. The main one being of course Secretariat. Then she remembers how he loved racing the horses and decides to give Secretariat a try in the races and they do really well. They are the underdog in the situation but its a touching story about how it all comes out and she defies the odds of being an only woman in a " men's" sport. Diane Lane, John Malcovich are very good. Sad at times, but you find yourself rooting for Secretariat the whole time.
