I think that it was handicapper/author Steve Davidowitz who wrote that she might have been the best Thoroughbred EVER up to seven furlongs. (Not that she wasn't great at all distances, but we didn't see enough to judge.)

Also, apparently, Foolish Pleasure's trainer, Leroy Jolley, was a terrible sport after the match race. I wonder if that part is in the movie.

It will be an interesting movie, for she is not a known quantity outside of racing circles.

Great name for a race horse, no?

Frank Whaley was glad he got to play Nack and not Davidowitz.
