I don't care if you were around at the time or not, knowing how the story turns out doesn't make it any less exciting or inspirational. In 1972, the name Secretariat was every bit as ubiquitous as that of Muhammad Ali who's also mentioned by name in the picture. The only thing you weren't aware of back then, sports fan or not, was the story of owner Penny Chenery (Diane Lane), who's destiny rode on a coin toss and a dream. In a way, this one could have been called 'The Chenery Story' for it's emphasis on one person's devotion to a father's legacy and a determination to succeed in the face of adversity. With Disney Studios at the helm, you needn't worry about questionable language or suggestively explicit scenes. This is the story of a winner with a message - you never know how far you can go unless you run.
