I had a friend that went to Delmar and he didn't like it at all. Said he didn't know what all the hype as about. He loved Santa Anita.

I haven't been out west at all. I have a friend in San Diego so maybe one day I'll make the trip

just watched it on dvr.

good: *showing what a difficult, dangerous job being a jockey is
*the personalities of each of the jockeys came out as they really are known to be, no fake stuff for the camera
*the shots of Santa Anita and the decimating performance by Zenyatta
*Kayla Stra and Chantal Sutherland.

bad: *production values, what did they shoot this on, film from 1952?
*the breakdowns
*the voice over calls by Trevor Denman, did they think the audience was too stupid to know there were other horses in the field?


all in all, i give it a 6 out of 10. i'd watch it if i have nothing else to watch but it isn't a must-see.
