Being a fan of horse racing for many years since my dad took me to the track. This series really gets the realism and drama of the sport.
No need to talk about the actors. Their credentials speak for themselves. Just excellent.
What is disturbing is its cancellation midstream. With no clear resolution. I guess part of it might be viewership. I did not know of its existence when it 1st came out. But it did not surprise me to read in the trivia section PETA,s influence came to bear.
At the time of filming. Santa Anita had a spike of injuries. Despite investigation. Of the surface and trainer methods no clear correlation was found to the best of my knowledge. And during filming 2 horses were euthanized.
However, what this series clearly showed in my mind correctly was that the people affiliated with the sport have a deep love for animals generally and horses specifically. These horses for the most part are bred and love to run. And the people around them go to great lengths in ensuring their happiness and health.
