Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2009)

What a movie !!! Just what a movie !! I was absolutely speechless after watching this movie. It is perhaps one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. It is the story of a beaten up, neglected horse and a jockey set in the backdrop of 1932 American Recession. A horse which was almost always neglected foul minded along with the jockey who had been beaten up all throughout his childhood team up to become a legendary combination. But the most pertinent question is who made this possible off course the trainer who in this movie had been shown as an extraordinary trainer but very subtle in his role but a little banged up in life like everyone else.
A banged up owner reeling from his own personal shock of recession and most importantly the loss of his own son finds a son in the Jockey and takes him as his own which is very visible at the end of the last race. He finds the trainer who is beaten up in life down but not out. They team up and teach the beaten up pony and lets him become a horse again after a banged up life. The pony goes on to become the greatest race horse.
The best dialog of the movie is the last one it summarizes the movie in itself. Yes I agree that though people used to say that they found up a broken horse and fixed it but in a way it fixed them too. Man and Animal reunited. Lets cheer for such a great movie. I am lucky I watched it.
