Secretariat Film Out of the Gates Down South
Secretariat 1973
The horse that won a rare Triple Crown in 1973 is the subject of a motion picture now shooting in Kentucky and Louisiana.
Diane Lane stars as Penny Chenery, the real story of this film as the history-making owner of the legendary race horse. Chenery broke some barriers of her own crashing through the male-dominated racehorse ownership world to take Secretariat great success.
Dylan Walsh (“Nip/Tuck”) plays Lane’s husband, an attorney used to calling the shots in the family. Other cast members include John Malkovich as the trainer and Scott Glenn as a dyed-in-the-wool Southern aristocrat who loses the horse in a coin toss.
The producers of “The Rookie” and Miracle”, Gordon Gray and Mark Ciardi, are sheperding this project from a script by Mike Rich (“Radio”) and directed by Randall Wallace (“We Were Soldiers”).
