I picked this up mostly because I'm a sucker for movies based on real events but also because just about everything I've seen Damian Lewis in I've enjoyed.
Pretty much standard fare up to the point where the horse was born but after that the movie keeps you guessing. Each race is a nail biter because you just know how much each race means to the investors. Sure, it's a typical family tear jerker but kudos to the production team, they kept my attention and even got me to cheer a few times. I do enjoy my movies but getting me that invested into the plot and characters does take some skills.
