First, remember... IT'S DISNEY!!!

Second, reviews are all over the place, but more good than bad.

> I have read several reviews, all negative, of the new Disney release "Secretariat." It sounds completely phony and "uplifting." One of them mentioned there is a scene where Secretariat and a rival horse turn in the starting gates and glare at each other like boxers before the opening bell. Puh-leeze.
