My mom didn't want to watch the movie and I tried to talk her into it. She won't even get a Barbaro Breyer or watch the Barbaro documentaries because of the memories of the Preakness...just thinking about the horse makes her sad, same with Ruffian. I try to spin it in terms of the greatness of their spirit and talk about how much good you can do by helping Barbaro's charity but things like that she just won't hear about.
I'm glad she didn't watch now. This would've made her queasy.
