SECRETARIAT hits theaters on October 8th, 2010.
WALT DISNEY PICTURES
Based on the remarkable true story, “Secretariat” chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)—manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.
Against all odds, housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane)—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)—navigates the male-dominated horseracing business, ultimately taking Secretariat on a spectacular journey to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and perhaps the greatest racehorse of all time.
Notes:
In 1973, Secretariat became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting race records that still stand today in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes.
Penny Chenery, now 87, is an integral resource in the making of the film. She also appears as an extra in one of the film’s scenes.
In 1973, Secretariat graced the covers of three magazines the same week: Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated.
Director Randall Wallace, whose directorial credits include “We Were Soldiers,” is the Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-nominated screenwriter of “Braveheart.”
In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a 33-cent postage stamp with Secretariat’s image.

I'd like to win because I've been interested in horse racing for a long time, and Secretariat's story is an inspirational one that I would love to share with my family.

Hi! I like movies where the main character is a underdog and finally overcomes the obstacles to succeed. The horse is the main character but the owner has to get over obstacles becuase they don't think she can do the job at hand because she is a woman.
This will be a excellent movie to watch. :)

I want to win because we were watching the Kentucky Derby and Diane Lane was on tv talking about this movie and my husband and I, who both love Diane Lane got really excited about seeing this movie. Plus it would be cute to wear matching t-shirts.
