Movie Haiku:Story of the record-breaking stallion who won Triple Crown in 1973. When horse-focused, film is exciting (albeit predictable), but way too much time is spent on the humans (especially owner Penny Chenery Tweedy). Jan could buy the "build a team" aspect, but Lane''s "Just a Denver Housewife" performance was preposterous & tedious. Not yet seen by Rich.
