There have been so many ridiculous 'baseball" movies..most involving Kevin Costner..over the years that as a baseball purist, make me vomit, but the GP loves that crap. Horse Racing needs more drivel and less reality sometimes.

Oliver Stone doing a movie would be more likely to appeal to the dark souls likely to get hooked on racing

Horse racing historians, any thoughts on a topic Stone could take on?

Shergar. But Stone would probably rather love Alydar and conspiracy.

How about a Stone expose on jockey licensing.

I'd love to have it revealed that jockeys must fail an IQ test to become licensed.
