Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot only did Secretariat set the record for the fastest time at the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), each of his quarter-mile splits were faster than the preceding one, which means he was still accelerating at the end of the race. His split times were: 25 1/5, 24, 23 4/5, 23 2/5, and 23.
- GoofsIn the film the announcer for the Belmont Stakes mentions the margin of victory being 31 lengths which was true, but in real life announcer Chic Anderson announced it as 25 lengths because he was unable to correctly estimate the distance between the horses due to the incredible lead Secretariat had.
- Quotes
Penny Chenery: More than three thousand years ago a man named Job complained to God about all his troubles and the Bible tells us that God answered. Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paused fiercely, rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

- ConnectionsFeatured in Richard Roeper & the Movies: Fall Preview 2010 (2010)
The film is well directed and easily guides the viewer through the story and gives him an insight into the tension of horse racing.
The cinematography is excellent, and Randall Wallace has proven to be a skilled director. The cast is excellent, they portrayed these interesting characters brilliantly. The characters are layered, in the film we see their desires, fears and everything that makes them human and they easily draw us into that interesting world of theirs.
There are different opinions in the Tweedy family, but they still support each other. We may have different opinions, but we should still agree on some universal things. An interesting film that offers us an insight is a truly fascinating world.
The soundtrack is great, the songs are perfectly incorporated into the film and elevate the overall impression of the whole story.
An excellent cinematic work that is definitely worth watching.
