Movie Review: The Life & Times of Secretariat, an American Racing Legend
Summary: 4 Stars

This DVD was a gift to my sister-in-law. She LOVES Secretariat and enjoyed every moment of the film. If you want to see a true legend in equestrian racing, this is a film for you (so she told me).

Summary of The Life & Times of Secretariat, an American Racing Legend

The only complete and authorized story of the most famous race horse of our time - Secretariat. This is the Official Secretariat DVD licensed by owner Penny Chenery. This commemorative issue is actually three videos in one. It features the original critically acclaimed ESPN retrospective chronicling Secretariat's life and legacy, a full feature documentary of Big Red's last race in the Canadian International at Woodbine PLUS recently discovered footage of the champion from 20 of his career races including his phenomenal 1973 Triple Crown victories shown in their entirety.

This comprehensive DVD is full of interesting film clips, interviews, and historical information. It traces his days as a foal at the Meadow Stud Farm, Doswell, Virginia though his death in the fall of 1989 at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky. Along the way you'll see some of the most amazing achievements in the history of the sport. Follow Secretariat's run to glory through the 1973 Triple Crown as he became the first horse in a quarter of a century to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Hear from those closest to this equine hero with exclusive interviews from owner Penny Chenery, Hall of Fame trainer Lucien Laurin and jockey Ron Turcotte. Racing fans will appreciate the poignant documentary "Big Red's Last Race" as well as the complete collection of original racing footage from his storied career.

Enjoy this fantastic tribute to the world's most legendary and loved Thoroughbred - Secretariat. Total playing time: 112 minutes.
