Even the racing pundits that have written about the film over the past few weeks have been mostly forgiving of the racing gaffes - at least so far as recognizing that the changes have been made in service to a Disney-fied story. I believe big box office numbers on opening weekend will trump any critiques offered by racing fans.

The possibilities are virtually infinite. Don't get caught into thinking that only "true" stories will be fodder for future movies. Most movies are pure fiction -- and fiction based at the racetrack is ripe for exploiting by Hollywood (I'm looking forward to the HBO series "Luck").
