We saw Secretariat yesterday. For those in the audience (many of whom didn't know Secretariat actually won the Triple Crown), it was a good movie. I had to squint and keep from groaning at the myriad of inaccuracies - inaccuracies that could have been avoided.
That being said, Diane Lane was superb and John Malkovich made me believe he was Lucien Lauren.
It might get people interested in horse racing if horse racing was accessible on national tv. But, what's the odds of that happening?
Also, bought the SECRETARIAT memorial book that DRF put out. Worth $10 - lots of new info and good pictures.
