This is a pretty typical underdog to champ story and it follows the tried and true format of many movies of its ilk that came before it.
You don't have to know the story to know how its going to unfold. There will be successes and setbacks and final glory.
The added element to this movie of course is the female empowerment angle that is so important to every politically correct movie of the 2000's. That part's a bore.
I can't tell you if the movie is true to the real story. It's likely not since they never are. It's true she was the first women to win the Melbourne Cup but who ever heard of this race?
The movie ends there and doesnt bother to tell you she was also suspended from racing for a time for taking drugs.
There you go.
