If Wal Mart ever got into the casino/ racing business---watch out!

As for the movie,may be worth a watch.  Seems to prove again that anyone can drive a horse.
I think my favorite will always be Lucy!

Lucy will always be the best

Have heard good reviews, but the lack of a theatrical release with that cast is a red flag. Hope it is good. WalMart.com sold out in one day.

I just bought it   

After I watch it I'll bring it to Vegas and try to sell to one of the guys

I'll buy it for a buck on the Amazon after-market!

 There's a good movie with Morgan Freeman and directed by Rob Reiner that didn't go through the theaters (although not a horsey movie).

Guess times are changing and in some instances there's more profit in avoiding the theater circuit.

With that cast i thought it would be a little better , and if you don't follow harness racing you won't understand 3/4 of the movie .

It's just so unrealistic and the ending is terrible , its pretty easy to figure out why it never made it to the movie theaters.

But who knows you might like it

I bought it the first day it was out.  Pretty bad movie.  The only reason I sat through the whole thing was that it was about harness racing, as opposed to other racing movies featuring thoroughbreds.  Save your money.

Given the reviews here it sounds more like a way to cut losses.

I finally got around to watching the movie last night. My one word review: Bad. I have a copy for sale if anyone is interested.

Was that Oatie claiming the horse from the girl?

I was interested in an opinion of this movie. There has been talk of it at other places. Im sorry to here your report Gazoo. I had high hopes. This news certainly is sad to here. I imagine I'll find something better to do than view this one. There really is nothing  worse than a poor harness racing movie. But, who really can be surprised to Hear of this. Gloomy news indeed.
