Those quotes, or misquotes, sure do not help my motivation to go see at the IMax.


I knew far in advance I would never want to view the Ruffian movie.

Secretariat I was up in the air on.

I'm not a fan of "reality TV" at all.

But I saw Secretariat and Ruffian real time, and the real memories are etched in stone.

For better or worse.

Real stuff.

I'm inclined to pass on "historical dramas."
I'm going to go see it.

My position is: "If it has hooves and runs, I support it." All forms of racing, and any product that either tries to be reverent and/or increases interest.

My sister-in-law said she wants to go see it, and she participates in the bets my buddies and I put together for the big race days. Anything that gets us exposure (as long as it doesn't tear us down) is a good thing. For all its faults, it looks like the movie, being a Disney product, will be uplifting for those who see it. That can't be bad for racing.
