Featured review
Saw this movie for the second time on Archive.org (I previously saw it on a community channel from Manitoba; I live in Ontario but have access to Neepawa Access Television Network) while on a Christmas break. This week I've been binge watching movies about or centered around my favorite sports (horse racing and curling); seen Run for The Roses, Ready to Run and this title (and for curling, Gerri Curls and Men With Brooms).
This is overall a decent movie, though not without its flaws. I'm a factional owner of Standardbreds so a few things stuck out at me ;)
Dan Patch (April 29, 1896 - July 11, 1916) was indeed an excellent Standardbred *Pacing* champion (and not a trotter as he was referred to in the movie) who was so strong in open company that connections of other horses refused to race against him. There was. Again, creative licensing.
This movie is *loosely* based on the horse but mainly a fictional telling of the lives of his (movie fictional) connections. If you are looking for a more accurate picture about horse racing unfortunately this isn't it, but there are so few about Standardbreds and it's isn't terrible.
