Secretariat Movie Review

The Secretariat movie is directed by Randall Wallace and stars Diane Lane, John Malkovich and Scott Glenn. The movie was produced by Walt Disney productions (2010). The Secretariat movie is the heartwarming life story of Penny Chenery Tweedy who owned the racehorse Secretariat, winner of the Triple Crown in 1973.
I was able to see the movie on a special preview screening before the movie actually came out to the public and I have to tell you that it was an excellent movie. It was a wonderful true story about a family of horse breeders who bred Secretariat by Bold Ruler and how the horse went on to be known as the greatest race horse of all time.

Horse Racing Tracks

It is interesting to note that I am writing this article as I am sitting at the track during my first ever visit to Churchill Downs exactly one week before Derby Day in 2010. The track is sloppy and I have not picked many winners so I pulled out my laptop to write about the horse racing tracks I've been to. This list is part of our quest to visit many of the fine horse racing tracks across the USA.


I have been to some of the best tracks in America. Some are beautiful some are not but they all have horse racing and it is fun to bet at horse racing tracks.
