I heard, pending the outcome, Pinnochio and the Wicked Stepmother are preparing similar suits.

I'm all about husky, sexy voice on the radio, but hope you feel better, Steve!
Strange that the suit revolves around Nack, but doesn't include him.

I cannot imagine why anyone would want to make or watch a movie about arguably the worst day in the history of racing, particulary one that re-enacts a gruesome, stomach-turning injury in reportedly great detail. The producers should have realized what a horrible idea this film was when the trainer and jock wouldn't cooperate. Nack may be a talented writer, but he should be ashamed of himself for accepting "blood" money to participate in something that will sicken potential new fans.
