Fabulous film that is more about people than horses. Tells a moving realty show of courage, skill and tenacity. Trainers overcome personal adversity (paralyses and M.S.),their wives bask in the excitement of the race-world (one is a jockey, another a fashion model), and the children can't resist cutting school to witness the race (one places a bet for the teacher, the other drops out to work full time at the stable). The by-line story of the rise and fall of famed horse Barbaro from the track is told with grace, respect and admiration. And the filmmakers' travel on-site to the tracks (including Dubai)coupled with the musical score add the spice and variety that make this film a sure winner.
