Really enjoyed this!

I've become a documentary junkie and this is such a good doc! Just going along for the ride of this dream and the ups and downs involved, was a thrill. If you love horses, horse racing, or if you're a dreamer, this is the movie for you! And even more importantly, the film is inspiring and hammers home what can be accomplished with determination and hard work. Hats off to the filmmakers - they pulled of a very moving documentary and I highly recommend this!
