Several bloggers recommend the film.

For me, the joys of the film were many, lying in the pleasure of familiarity and the glow of re-living favorite moments. I loved the scenes in the morning, watching horses train and hearing the trainers talk about their plans and routines. Having been a big fan of Jazil, I experienced again the thrill of watching that unbelievable run in the ’06 Wood, as he appeared from out of the left side of the screen to nearly nip Bob and John at the wire; sitting in the darkened theater, I was almost as excited as I was that nasty, cold, wet day at Aqueduct—only this time, I didn’t get to cash the ticket.

There are plenty of laughs, cheers and tears in this game and the film captures it all brilliantly. Insightful behind the scenes action with the very interesting connections. Frank Amonte the former Contessa assistant stole the show, but there are many colorful characters to chose from.
