Horse racing fans will like this movie...


I don't give a rat's as#s what the budget was or how distribution will go. I will say that the race footage (original and re-created) is awesome. The story and characters are sufficient to move thing along. Seeing Calvin Borel and the other jockeys in their natural environment was worth the price of admission. Seeing Bob Baffert portrayed as an arrogant jerk was probably a nod to us (horseplayers). Ulrich, and the rest of the cast were solid. Well worth seeing Check it out...

I enjoyed 50-1 as well and pretty much agree with everything you said. Making Baffert the over-the-top jerky villain was a bit much but still kind of entertaining. Anyone who likes horses probably would like this as well as there are plenty of playful antics from the horse "actors".
