 Some person was on a message board talking about being an extra in it and said he was being a jerk around them during filming. Of course who knows what the real circumstances were. I heard this one guy call Mickey Rooney a real horse's butt all because he doesn't like to shake hands (probably a mixture of the age thing and the germ thing) and the guy just came up after an escalator and lied to him how he was a big fan when he really couldn't care less. Mickey probably knew bs when he heard it and apparently he ignored the guy.

With a character called, "Saratoga Guy" (no relation) it can't be all bad! (Credited above Dinny Phipps!)

I wondered if it was bad since I thought it was going to air earlier in the year- June is just after sweeps month. But I also thought it would air on ESPN, so the fact that they chose to run it on ABC itself is a big deal, I think (unless that was always the plan; I don't know).
I could see how it would be tough to make a strong movie out of this- there's no real dramatic arc to the story- she's perfect until her last race. No ups and downs within her career. Maybe if one tried to portray it as a sense of impending doom- nothing this brilliant could stay with us for long, or something, but otherwise I'm not sure how to make her story follow a dramatic structure. Where's the second act reversal? That said, I'm still very much looking forward to it.

This is a bad story for horse racing.....
It's also hard to watch it if you know what's going to happen
