Just watched the film which was released october last year. I quite enjoyed it, was much better than i thought it would be and would recommend it.

And what an outstanding horse!!! True legend, not many like him

Great film apart from 1 thing. The way he won the races in the movie was very badly done. The jockeys/actors are clearly pulling back there horses so Secretariat wins. Ruffian would be my fave of the horse racing films. Seabiscuit too.

Seabiscuit is a great film, another one is Phar Lap I've not seen it in years but from what I can remember it was good.

Post Re: Secretariat
If anybody's looking for a racing-related film that's completely different (not about thoroughbred racing), The Last Victory is well worth a look. It's a documentary film from 2004 about the annual Palio horse race through Siena's town square in Italy. The film concentrates on the build-up to the 2003 running of the race.
