Quotes:
« Penny Chenery: More than three thousand years ago a man named Job complained to God about all his troubles and the Bible tells us that God answered. Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

« Eddie Sweat: Hey, Kentucky! Big old Red done ate his breakfast this morning! And you about to see something that you ain't never even seen before!
»
« Penny Chenery: This is not about going back. This is about life being ahead of you and you run at it! Because you never know how far you can run unless you run.

Plots:
Penny Chenery Tweedy and colleagues guide her long-shot but precocious stallion to three unbeatable Triple Crown speed records.
Housewife and mother Penny Chenery 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 — manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in twenty-five years.
The fictionalized adaptation of the Secretariat story from Penny Tweedy’s lack of in-depth horse racing knowledge to the media posited rivalry between Secretariat and his competitor Sham. With the help of eccentric trainer Lucien Laurin, this is the story of a Virginia horse taking racing by storm and making himself a household name while winning the first Triple Crown in 25 years in World Record time.
