My daughter convinced me to go since she's a big horse racing fan. I wasn't expecting much, but I completely enjoyed this movie. You get a behind the scenes look into the horse racing industry and all of the joys, disappointments, hard work, and tragic losses that goes with it.
The makers of this movie were very lucky in the horses they choose to follow. They have crews documenting Barbaro, Achilles of Troy, Sharp Humor, Jazil, Lawyer Ron, and Brother Derek as they make their quest for the Kentucky Derby. Five of the six eventually make it into the 20 horse field. You become very attached to the horses and their trainers as the film takes you from race to race leading up to the Derby.
