I thought the movie was mostly well done, and I really appreciated the accuracy in the racing scenes when they didn't use the actual race footage.
My biggest issue with the film was the depiction of trainer Bob Baffert. I am a hard core racing fan but not especially a Baffert fan. I'm neutral on the guy for the most part, although I greatly respect his achievements and talent. He was improperly characterized as a sort of jerk in this movie. The actor's expressions and attitude were way off of what is true in reality. It was off putting to me.
That aside I greatly enjoyed seeing behind the scenes of this remarkable moment in horse racing history. I never in a million years would've thought this horse could've done what he did without most of the other horses falling down.
A very good and emotional movie.
