I saw this one last weekend because my daughter has a horse and is convinced she wants to be a jockey. Needless to say, we see EVERY horse movie that comes down the pike in my house (and even every movie that has a horse in it).
I can't say I really enjoyed it for many of the reasons Sleezy has already so elegantly pointed out.
There is a scene where Malkovich has a temper tantrum over golfing that had me chuckling as I can certainly identify.
Overall it's typical Disney fare.
I suppose the saving grace for me was that it inspired me to read up on the real Secretariat and the events surrounding the triple crown win. Very interesting and inspiring story.
