I'll be there, and Chuck & Paula, and LaReason (Ryan, exercises horses for Chuck) will be there, too!

There is nothing currently scheduled for Lexington, KY, but they are working on it apparently. Keeneland is racing, the 2-yr-old in training sale is going on, and Rolex - and the film isn't playing here during those weeks? - has to do with needing an indie theatre to show the film, will have to check blog and see what bandwagon I can call/write.

I wish everyone (writers, websites, etc) would publicize this - here's a horse racing film made for the non-horse racing public - will horse racing take advantage of this available free publicity right before Derby?

I'm not part of the horse racing industry but I wonder.. if it is for the non-racing public. What will I get out of it? Seabiscuit 2?

A good documentary is a good documentary. If it's well done, it'll be entertaining, regardless of whether the viewer is a racing fan or not.

It's showing at Cinema Village in NYC, on one of their teeny tiny screens. Better than nothing. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Trailer might not do it justice.

I would really recommend buying the DVD. It was a great, and very classy movie. I have watched it twice now, and loved it both times.

Plus, you get to see Byk in action, which is always cool...

Trailers usually show the best parts of a movie so you'll go see it.
So, if the trailer is a big turn off?

Then I guess you won't like it.

I have spoken to many racing people who all loved it, and I have talked to many non-racing (although animal/equine) people that also liked it.

You seem to already have your mind made up that it sucks, so even if it was the Citizen Kane of racing movies you will probably still think it sucks.

It was a great film in my opinion and that of many others, and I recommend watching it...

They've changed their website - the old one was better IMO. This new one has an abbreviated trailer, and none of the old "cast of characters" in the film that the old website had.
