Secretariat began his conquest of the Triple Crown fifty years ago last week. I had the privilege of seeing all three races on TV, including that legendary finish in the Belmont. He was a once-in-a-lifetime horse.
Man O' War was another great. Only time he didn't win was when he basically got boxed in and the jockey refused to bang his way through. Won every other race in blowout fashion. Having said that, I'm going to have to doubled check my stats. Going off stories my grandpa told me as a young kid.
@@nataliestclair6176 By far. Secretariat was the greatest horse of all time. Period. That being said, due to the ups and downs of his story, plus his under dog nature, Seabiscuit is the far better movie in my opinion.
She said “short herbs” 😂 I’ve never met a man in my whole life that would know knowingly eat short herbs. 😂 I will be riding that laughter like Seabiscuit for the rest of the week. I just want to give this woman’s parents a hug and say Thank you. They broke the mold with you Cassie.
I've watched this movie close to 50 times. Seabiscuit is an American hero. There are several documentarys about Seabiscuit on youtube and of course Lara Hillenbrand's book about seabiscuit that brought all this about in the first place. BTW the actor playing George Wolff isn"t a typical actor, he is Gary Stevens, hall of fame race jockey and winner of 3 Kentucky Derbys, the last of which was on Silver Charm who just celebrated his 29th birthday at Old Friends Farm in Georgetown Kentucky. And the jockey playing Charlie Kurtsinger, who was War Admirals jockey, was played by Chris McCarron who also designed all the racing scenes for the movie, and also happened to be a hall of fame race jockey to win two Kentucky Derbys.
Gary Stevens once ran The Belmont not to win, but to make sure Smarty Jones didn't win. It seems that the trainers down south didn'twant a northern horse to win the Triple Crown. Gary said later he regretted it.
Read the book, Laura Hillenbrand is one of the greatest writers of our time. She also wrote "Unbroken" which is another phenomenal book and story. Both "Unbroken" and "Seabiscuit" are based on true stories, which in my mind makes them more compelling.
In case anyone is interested, War Admiral was Seabiscuit's uncle. War Admiral's father (or sire) was Man O' War. Man O' War also fathered Hard Tack and one of Hard Tack's offspring was Seabiscuit. Small world, big heart. PS - Please watch Secretariat. Big Red (Secretariat's nickname) was undoubtedly the best three year old Triple Crown winner in American history.
Interestingly enough, Secretariat was also a distant relative of Man O' War, War Admiral, Seabiscuit, etc. Secretariat's sire was Bold Ruler. Bold Ruler's dam was Miss Disco. Miss Disco's sire was Discovery. Discovery's sire was Display. Display's sire was Fair Play, who was also Man O' War's sire.
I counted about 8-times that you were brought to tears in this movie, probably more that weren’t in the final edit. This is the sign of a great movie. It touches people in their heart. Seabiscuit is in my Top Five favorite movies.
"you don't throw a whole life away just 'cause it's banged up a little bit" this is one of my favorite movies (i even own the dvd). who would've thought i would be so attached to a 'horse movie' ;)
Horses have their psychologies. I don't know if Cassie is going to watch "Secretariat," but Secretariat had an interesting psychological story. In his very first race, right out of the gate he was cut off by another horse doing an illegal maneuver and collided hard with another horse, almost falling. For the rest of his career, he was afraid to come out of the gate fast and hated running in crowds, which made it all the more fascinating that he became what most people consider the greatest racehorse ever. In all three of his most legendary races -- the 1973 Belmont, 1973 Preakness, and 1973 Kentucky Derby, collectively the "Triple Crown" -- he came out of the gate cautiously in last place, well behind the pack, and passed everybody by running to the outside of the pack which is the longest distance around the track, yet still holds the record for fastest time in all three races even to this day, fifty years later. (You can watch TV broadcasts of all three races on RU-vid). It's interesting to wonder if he might have run those races even faster without that phobia, or if that phobia was actually part of what made him so great.
Fun Fact: The companions Seabiscuit is given to calm him down were actually used in real life. The stray dog was named Pocatell. The female horse, Pumpkin, would accompany him to all his races through out his racing career. Also, since you reacted to "Seabiscuit" you now have to react to "Secretariat" (2010), it's a awesome movie.
Pumpkin was actually a gelding! putting a mare in with Seabiscuit actually might have made him more aggressive, so usually companion horses for both mares and stallions are geldings. :)
I read recently that a normal thoroughbred's heart weighs about 8.5 pounds. Secretariat's autopsy revealed that his heart weighed 22 pounds. He figuratively & literally had more heart than any other Triple Crown champion in history! Go "Big Red"!
Secretariat the horse was great. Secretariat the movie was boring, with no heart. The acting, and story was second rate, not worth the time to watch it.
Nice review Cassie. Now that you've watched one true life horse movie time to see another SECRETARIAT. Biscuit was the little engine that could; perfect for the time in history. Secretariat is the greatest horse of all time. Owned by a smart woman and raced to perfection. Secretariat next for sure.
When Charles Howard's son died there was no hospital available in the area that might have possibly saved him, so Howard financed a hospital in the nearest town. It is still in operation today in the small town of Willits in N. California.
With the horse racing Tripe Crown currently under way, you have to watch the greatest Triple Crown runner ever in Secretariat. Absolutely wonderful movie, but really brings appreciation to the GOAT horse, hands down.
Seabiscuit was the Grandson of one of the greatest horses (not better than Secretariat) Man o War. War Admiral was the son of Man o War. When Seabiscuit won the match race Wolf the jockey yelled to the other jockey War Admiral became a Rear Admiral. A rear Admiral is a rank in the navy so it was a great play on words as a put down.
💫I reckon Cassie would enjoy "Tucker: The Man and His Dream" (1988) too. Also starring Jeff Bridges playing a kind of similar character, also an inspirational "little guy" story based on true history, also a very well made movie that's kind of gotten lost in the shuffle. By the way, a horse movie poll really ought to include "National Velvet" (1944), famously one of the granddaddies of this sub-genre and the movie that made young Elizabeth Taylor a star. It's even in color. 🙂
@@7thwheel Oh, okay. Thank you. I forgot about that. I wasn't sure of his exact role, just that it was a story he'd wanted to tell for a long time. Like Red Tails
Can't begin to tell you how excited was to see you were watching my most favorite horse movie. I first fell in love with the book by Laura Hildebrand, and was so excited to learn it was made into a movie. I loved the film right off the bat, and just never tire of watching it! Thank you for letting us watch along with you! Next horsie movie has to be Secretariat. Another phenomenal film and horse!
As good as this movie is, the book is absolutely incredible. I've read it twice and listened to it once. Laura Hillenbrand literally puts you on the back of a horse in a race, her description is that detailed. By all accounts, she did a ton of research.
A good movie, Secretariat, but I think it pales in comparison in its story telling chops. In a head to head, Secretariat probably would have won, but Seabiscuit got the best of immortalizing.
You made me laugh.... AGAIN. This time it was when you asked "If someone wants to be a jockey, do they just try to become shorter?" Yogi Berra could not have spoken a more unique sentence. You are one of a kind, and you have a sincere and good heart. Everyone who watches your channel knows this. I'm just speaking for the group, as they say. Thanks for being 'you' and having no pretense; just diving into the movies !
This is one of my all time favorite movies too. I was so happy when I saw you were going to react to it. There is so much inspiration throughout all of the good and bad, it really tears at your heart strings. The fact that it’s a true story just makes it all the more remarkable. I knew you would love it. Thanks for your reaction!
Laura Hillenbrand’s writing in the book this movie is based is phenomenal and the way she tells the story of this horse, these people, and this era is more incredible even as good as this movie is.
Seabiscuit was the movie I watched instead of having a "Bachelors Party" and the last movie I watched with my brother. The friendship between Red and The Iceman is what resonated with me most, in the almost 20 years since watching this great movie
Secretariat may have been the greatest horse to do it, but the movie about Seabiscuit is absolutely my favorite horse movie of all time. He was the little engine who could..The heart of a big champion. I get emotional everytime with this movie. Love Seabiscuit. ❤❤
This movie is based on a book written by Laura Hillenbrand. As she was researching for this book she kept coming across stories about a man, Louis Zamperini, that could only lose in a race to Seabiscuit. That man actually had an incredible story of his own, so she eventually wrote a 2nd book about him called Unbroken. They made a movie based on that book a few years ago too, definitely worth checking out.
No apologies needed! This film makes me cry every time. I think it's a beautifully told story, and I love how the three stories (Charles, Tom and "Red"/Johnny) all come together as one overall story. I think that they all changed -- Charles found renewed life and hope in his wonderful new wife and in Seabiscuit as a venture, Tom became less of a recluse and part of the team (while still being his awesome self), and Red found family again in a different place and support when he needed it. And Seabiscuit found a home and people who cared about him beyond whether or not he could race. Great story, plus pretty pretty horses. What's not to love about this film? 😄😊🏇
Hi Cassie, this was a beautiful, moving reaction. A few comments: 1) 4:25: "Is that The Dude?".....Indeed it is.....Jeff Bridges has a brother (Beau) and father (Lloyd) who are also actors. Jeff is in another movie with a car angle (Tucker: The Man and His Dream). Very good movie. 2) 8:17: "This is the Great Depression?"......Yes, Seabiscuit was an inspiration to millions of people during this very difficult time. 3) 18:58: "Do you ever feel sorry for the horses watching them run?" Race horses are born and bred to run. Millions of dollars are spent on these elite horses. They are carefully looked after. 4) The movie "Secretariat" is a must watch. He is the greatest thoroughbred who ever lived. His performance at the 1973 Belmont Stakes was so dominating it defies belief. His time still stands as the fastest ever at Belmont.
I promise you, you got emotional on this you'll get so much more emotional for Secretariat! It's a amazing! And just like seabiscuit, it's also a true story.
The movie is great, but didnt show how truly amazing he was. A lot of his races were "handicapped". They put weight in the saddle bags of the good horses. Seabiscuit carried as much as 35 pounds of extra weight and still won race after race. Just an example, love the movie and loved horse!
One of my favorite books growing up in the 60s was "Come on, Seabiscuit," by Ralph Moody. I must have read it a hundred times. I still have the book, even though the spine is cracked. This magnificent movie brings it all back to me. Thanks for a wonderful and heartfelt reaction!
If you visit the Santa Anita racetrack, Seabiscuit's old stomping grounds in Southern California, Seabiscuit's statue is there ready to greet you. You can even kind of see it in the movie during the scenes where they showed shots of Santa Anita, but the camera angles and edits were done in such a way that you won't really notice that it's there unless you know where to look, because, obviously, the statue's not supposed to be there yet during that time period. Also, back when I went in there to visit (which was well over 10 years ago now) if you go inside and cross the racetrack all the way in, there's a little "petting zoo" sort of setup where they have one of the actual "actor horses" portraying Seabiscuit in the movie, and he was even wearing Seabiscuit's colors, and everything! I think they used, like, six or seven different horses to portray him while making the movie? But anyway, he's tiny! You can really see the difference in size between him, i.e., the "Seabiscuit stunt-double", and all of the other various thoroughbreds that were running during that day's race.
Secretariat was the greatest thoroughbred to ever go around a track. He still holds records from 1973. Belmont and the Preakness. It’s been 50 years ago and the records still haven’t been broken. The Belmont record may never be broken. The movie Secretariat is a great movie. I saw it the races on TV. It was amazing to see
Watching the last race of the triple crown still gives me goosebumps and is the greatest horserace ever........ I personally like the movie Secretariat over Seabiscuit
Can't help but love a good horse movie. My grandfather used to talk about Seabiscuit. June 9th, 2023 makes the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's phenomenal Belmont Stakes victory (I'm getting choked up right now). He was GOD's OWN HORSE - at around 1:25 into the race, announcer Chic Anderson declares "...he is MOVING like a treMENDous MACHINE!" - gets me every time. I remember watching it on Live TV. If you've never seen that classic sports film footage announced by Chic Anderson, you ain't seen nothing. He estimated the lead was 25 lengths, when in reality he was 31 lengths ahead of the next horse! When 'Big Red' died, his autopsy revealed his heart was indeed TWO AND A HALF TIMES LARGER than the average horse. Those Triple Crown record times still hold up, for that horse who was indeed 'all heart'.
Most people don’t know how to saddle up…put the blanket on…throw on the saddle and cinch up…adjust the bit…but everything just takes time…to learn…and do…and a good two year old should be spirited…any horse needs to get broken or you’ll never ride him…
Seabiscuit was owned by Charles Howard. The man that founded and built the hospital in my town willits ca. Seabiscuit was retired and is buried a couple miles away at a place called Ridgewood ranch he was awesome
I would love if you watched Pharlap. Basically Australia's version of Seabiscuit. Bought for nothing and become a legend. Pharlap's heart was so big it is on display at the Australian Institute of Anatomy. Australians have a saying - "Have a heart as big as Paharlap". When he wins the 1930 Melbourne Cup (the biggest horse race is Australia), the entire nation had placed bets on him to win. The scene where he is super late for the great race is very emotional! Great TRUE story!!! I believe you will enjoy it and get just as teary eyed as you did with Seabiscuit. Another amazing Horse Movie to consider watching is The Man From Snowy River (based on the poem by Australia's most famous poet Banjo Patterson).. I think I've watched the final chase scene a hundred times!
"Put him down just because he can't race??" - Horse racing is a VERY brutal sport, Cassie. 7 horses in one week were put down last week at Churchill Downs alone leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Horses and leg injuries do not mix well.
War admiral was a triple crown winner, so to beat him was amazing. A record crowd at Churchill downs is around 162000 people. Okay Secretariat has to be is a must see. One of the greatest horses to ever race. Can't wait till you get to learn about him.
Cassie, since it's still Horse Racing's Triple Crown season, how about DISNEYs only horse racing movie? SECRETARIAT! Also based on the career of the Champion .. .. As a racehorse owner, we have an adage, "Anyone who owns a racehorse, our favorite day of the week is Sunday. The only day of the week we do NOT get an invoice from the trainer!!"
Hey sweetie, don’t you worry about crying. There is something about the heart 💜 of a horse that brings out the soft side. Being doing this all my life and sometimes that heart still gets to me
16:07 - This is where I live, Saratoga NY. It’s also where I work, Saratoga Race Course. These horses LOVE very few things, their owners, their food, their handlers, and to RUN. I am on the team that decides after the pre-run weather or not they need to be scratched. Some horses just aren’t feeling running that day, and if that is the case- we scratch them. Some horses are OVERLY angry during their warmup. They get scratched. We don’t like putting ANYONE in danger, ever.
Combination of them both. It's like loving your dog and your dog loving you. Same thing with a horse. Just bigger dogs. Need love attention and care. Best friends for life.
I happen to live about a 20 minute drive from Tanforan shopping mall (which unfortunately they are planning to close soon), which is located on the land previously occupied by the Tanforan racetrack where Seabiscuit won most of his victories. There is a statue of a racehorse and his rider on the grounds, just outside the mall itself.
Yes! I knew you’d love this one. I tear up every time I watch it. The Dude abides. I’m really hoping that you watch Pharlap, I haven’t seen it since I was a kid. All of the other movies you mentioned are excellent too. I have a friend that runs a shelter for horses called Horses Healing Hearts. She does amazing work like a no kill pet fostering business.
All due respect to War Admiral, he was a year younger than Seabiscuit and had only run a fraction as many races. It was like matching a rosy-cheeked college Heisman Trophy winner against a street-wise NFL veteran in his prime. Seabiscuit psyched him out. "Old age and treachery will always prevail against youth and strength."
Just to answer a bit of some of your questions, we bought into some horses since i grew up within two miles of Churchill Downs, so Ive always loved horses and horse racing. The business is basically buying lottery tickets that breathe. The statistics are about 1 in 3 horses pay for themselves (training, feeding, vet) and 1 in 6 make money. BUT, if you ever get the big winner that hits big, then breeds for 10-20 years, the payoff is a lottery jackpot. And even when we are losing, much like Tom Smith said, they're fun to look at, visit, pet. The horse is 65% of the win, the trainer is another 25%, and the wrong jockey can make a sure thing a loser. But the best jockeys tend to get the best horses, because as owners, we want the best chance all around. But it is a very expensive hobby, but we love it, and I loved seeing your reaction to Seabiscuit. Hopefully you will watch Secretariat, we were extras in a scene for that one, but this is still my favorite.
Trainer Tom Smith was played by Chris Cooper, who was the father in October Sky (about the "Rocket Boys") to Homer Hickam (Jake Gyllenhaal). "Red" Pollard stood 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) and weighed 115 lb (52 kg), which is considered big for a jockey. He was born in Edmonton. While recuperating from his injuries, Pollard fell in love with his nurse, Agnes Conlon. They were married the following year and had two children, Norah and John.
My favorite horse movie of all time has to be Secretariat which I highly recommend watching it. Secretariat is solely based on a true story of the greatest racehorse that ran the Triple Crown whose record still stands to this day. Also Secretariat is a great movie that shows women empowerment with Secretariat’s owner Penny Chenery.
As far as Secretariat, when they did a necropsy (animal autopsy) on him they found his heart was at least twice the size of a normal thouroghbred. Hence, the pure amount of oxygenated blood pumping through his veins was insane. He was literally a freak of nature.
I think you needed this wholesome, feel good movie after Gangs of New York lol. This is a special one. It came out in 2003 which was a stellar year for movies. We also got Return of the King, Mystic River and Master and Commander. Now you have to see Mystic River! Side note, Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks were in the Spider-Man movies together. Chris Cooper was also in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the one with Andrew Garfield.
All of the ‘Horsey’ movies are great but only one is a classical almost magical film. The Black Stallion. It would be a crime if you never saw it whether you react to it here or not. Btw, both you and sweet Carly should watch it together.
I got to be an extra in this movie, when they shot race scenes at the Santa Anita Racetrack near Pasadena. Background extras were required to be dressed in suits and were given cheap plastic old-timey hats to complete the look. A fourth of the stadium was filled with mannequins and inflatable spectators, and then the background extras were in the rows in front of them, which featured extras all the way in the front. It was fun to see what went into shooting the races, like seeing Tobey Maguire on a mechanical half-horse (used for close-ups, all it was was the saddle for sitting on and the neck and head of the horse constantly bobbing up and down, you can tell which shots use this because the horse's head bobs way too slow LOL).
Lots of good comments here. I'll add that David McCullough - the narrator - is one of my all time favorite voices. He also did Ken Burns' Civil War on PBS. I don't know what it is about the way he says things. Perhaps it's the way his dialogue is written as well. I could listen to him talk for a long, long time.
This is one of those movies that if I am flipping through the channels and come across it, I have to finish it. Seabiscuit the movie to me is really more about the Great Depression and America’s recovery from it, the horse’s story is used as a metaphor for this. Secretariat the movie is more specifically about the horse and the owner’s journey to become the greatest horse in racing history, at least since the start of the 20th century. It’s a great movie too.
Great film about a great horse, the immortal Seabiscuit. Now watch the film about the greatest horse who ever lived, Secretariat, and the woman who made him champ. And then watch maybe the best horse movie ever made, The Black Stallion, with the great Mickey Rooney, teaching his young jockey to ride like the peerless Georgie Wolf.
It was fun watching this reaction Cassie. I forgot what a good movie this is. I think I didn't fully appreciate it the first time I watched it but after watching your reaction I came away loving it.
Greetings Cassie First of all, it is natural to be scared of horses because they are so big and powerful; however, horses are also the friendliest, good natured, and intuitive animals. This is why they are used as therapy animals for children with Down Syndrome. autism, or traumas. Unless they sense, you will be trying to hurt them, they will not hurt you and let you stroke and nuzzle them. Usually so sugar cubes or carrots are nice ice breakers. Also, if they are untamed, they can be dangerous, but most stable horses are very comfortable around people. FYI! Yes, there are 4 Bridges you have to know and remember: Llyod Bridges (the father), Beau Bridges (the eldest son), Jeff Bridges (the third child and 2nd son == The Dude), and Jordan Bridges (the grandson, Beau's son, 3rd generation Bridges). All were / are in the acting business. You might remember Beau as Matt Cushman (the father of Frank "Cush" Cushman played by Jerry O'Connell). Beau has over 85 film and 82 tv credits since beginning acting in 1948 at the young age of 6. You can see most of the Bridges family in the 1986 film "The Thanksgiving Promise". Jordan Bridges beat his father by beginning acting at the age of 5. He is best known for the films "Drive Me Crazy" (1999), "Frequency" (2000), and "Mona Lisa Smile" {2003) He can also be remembered for playing Frankie Rizzoli, the brother of Jane Rizzoli, in the tv series "Rizzoli & Isles". Jane Rizzoli was played by Angie Harmon. Charles Howard (Jeff Bridges) was a bicycle shop owner. From the clip, you can see him becoming the biggest auto dealer in California and the richest man in the Bay Area. In horse racing, it is a combination of horse and jockey at about a 60 / 40 to 70 /30 ratio, depending on horse and rider. For the owners, it is about being able to congratulate with other prized horse owners, the money, and the prestige of owning a race winning horse. Jockeys, for the most part, have to be under 5'2" and under 110 Lbs. There are some exceptions. This is so they are not 'too heavy' load on the horse while racing. If someone wants to be a jockey, s/he must meet the basic requirement. The most someone taller can do is lose weight. The "announcer guy" was William H Macy. You might remember him from such loved films as "Fargo", "WarGames", "The Client", "Mr. Holland's Opus", "Ghosts of Mississippi", "Air Force One", "Pleasantville", "Jurassic Park III", "Room", and "Wild Hogs". Yes, this is a heart-warming and inspirational horse movie. Yet, I STILL prefer "Hidalgo" over this one. It has Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn - LORT) in and even longer and 'against-the-odds" race. Viggo is ULTRA talented and underappreciated actor.
Jeff Bridges is wonderful and perfect in The Fisher King alongside Robin Williams. Since you loved Return to Me…you will love The Fisher King. It does have some tragedy, but it’s so warm. Jeff Bridges is a part of Hollywood royalty. His Dad is Lloyd Bridges, who you would have seen in Airplane. The guy who picked the wrong week to give up everything like glue sniffing. 😂
Horses really do like to run... we had a male pony, one day the farmer next door took in a female horse that would come up to the fence and they'd bump noses, first time our pony saw her he literally ran up and down the fence for almost 4-5 days straight hour after hour after hour even at night. He ran so long that he was literally dripping in sweat and looked like had been swimming and you could smell him from the house lol... she was an ugly mare, but our pony thought she was the bee's knee's, and he ran to impress. Outside of that he would also run for 5-10 minutes every day up and down the paddock in spurts for most of his life... kinda like how cats have daily running spaz attacks.
Maybe someone else shared this already, but Jeff Bridges plays the President in The Contender. Great film! And you should see The Fisher King as well. Love your reactions!!
@24:18 There was a famous 6ft 10 inch tall basketball player called Paul de'UdderOne who was forced to retire due to injury. While he spent the next 18 months recovering, he took some "herbs" and managed to shrink down to 5ft 3 inches and went on to become one of the most successful flat race jockeys of all-time.
I used to manage a video store in the early 2000s...this was one of the few films i enjoyed enough and was family friendly enough to put on in the background while on shift. seen this many many times now, and it's a fantastic movie, though haven't watched it in a couple of decades XD was lovely watching along with you
Fact: One third of the country listened on the radio to Seabiscuit and War Admiral race. You should read the amazing book "Seabiscuit" by Laura Hillenbrand. Beautiful, heartfelt reaction by you ~
This film is based on a WONDERFUL book by Laura Hillenbrand, and in it she describes how Seabiscuit loved to race, once he was being trained correctly. I had no interest in race horses when I stumbled across the book but I tore through it, it's fascinating.
Felt the emotions in u honey, that was a beautiful feel through out, so appreciative 🤗🤗 On the other hand, think i would go with, Secretariat first, Sea Biscuit {so much hope & smiles he brought upon the country during such difficult time: "The Great Depression"}, then Hidalgo, but how about "The Black Stallion" ?!
I saw this movie on my 10th birthday when it came out in the theater. My sister and I were both big into horses and riding regularly. I'm still a major horse guy. Definitely check out Hidalgo as well, you'd LOVE that movie
I HIGHLY recommend reading the book "Seabiscuit" by Laura Hillenbrand. Amazing story ( the same author wrote "Unbroken"). You'll really learn just how rough Red's life was....as well as the life of most jockies at the time. The way the War Admiral / Seabiscuit race was described is fantastic. War Admiral was basically psyched out with just a look from Seabiscuit. You can actually see the moment it happened if you watch the original film footage. Great reaction as usual !!
This is the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's Kentucky Derby win. It's too bad that one didn't win the poll. I don't know how much Disney messed with the real story but I did like the movie. Of course I grew up with a crush on Diane Lane too. Anyway I've lived my whole life in Louisville, KY which is where the Kentucky Derby is run and you should really come check it out. It's the oldest continuous sporting event in the USA and we start off the celebrations with a blast, literally, 2 weeks earlier with Thunder Over Louisville, the nation's largest fireworks display. We have all kinds of festival events and parties packed with celebrity guests from sports, politics, TV, movies, and music. It's a load of fun and next year is the 150th running so the crowds should be off the charts!
Hiya. There's always somebody peeling onions when I watch this film. And now you have to watch, in no particular order, "Phar Lap", Secretariat", "Ride Like A Girl" and "Champions". All true stories. Stay safe. All the best to you.
