There may have been bigger upsets mathematically, but I can't think of a bigger one in all sports. 50-1 seemed like a big underlay going into the race. It was the most shocking thing I've seen in over 40 years of watching sports.

As a 40+ year fan of racing I may watch this movie and think it sucks but if it peaks anybody's interest and brings some new fans to the game then I think it's done it's job. I'm guessing this movie has a message about overcoming tremendous odds which probably can be applied to life itself. In light of the videos being released in the past week or so this is probably a good time for a movie which sheds a positive light on racing to be presented.
