For anyone who is a fan of Big Red (scroll down and click play on the video to see the trailer):

I can't wait to see this movie! I hear it's coming out this October. It's actually based around the story of Penny Tweedy taking over her father's horse business, and the subsequent story of Secretariat intertwining it.
(As a personal aside, I was 15 when I saw Secretariat (on tv, bless the Wide World of Sports!) run the Triple Crown. Not long afterward I wrote to Penny Tweedy to ask her how one gets into the horse racing business - yeah, I had wanted to be a jockey back then - and she wrote me back a wonderfully encouraging letter. Of course I never did follow my dream, but was thrilled that Penny Tweedy had bothered to respond to me.)
