Secretariat, a movie about an Awesome Horse! 7.5 out of 10!

IMDB REVIEW LINK 7.1

We needed a good family film to watch ant this was all they had on Dishnetwork.  I wanted to see it though, because I always remembered the stories about Big Red (Secretariat's real name) and thought he was fascinating.  But would the movie be?  The movie is pretty good, and certainly it could have been better, but the wife and I liked it plenty.  I like it so much I had to go on youtube and watch the final race of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, just to see it for myself.  Here it is below.
