Secretariat

Secretariat (2010) is a Disney sports drama you can watch online on iFILM. Diane Lane plays Penny Chenery, a Denver housewife who takes the reins of her dying father's Virginia stable knowing almost nothing about racing.

The farm is sinking in debt, the bank wants its money, and the men who run thoroughbred racing barely tolerate a woman in the room. Penny bets everything on one chestnut colt nobody rates. Beside her stands a stubborn French-Canadian trainer, Lucien Laurin, played with prickly charm by John Malkovich, and a groom who senses the horse is something rare. Together they aim the big red animal at three races that will define a legend.

Director Randall Wallace built the film around the real colt that, across the spring of 1973, swept the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, a feat no horse had managed in twenty-five years. His Belmont time still stands as a record. Stream Secretariat (2010) online on iFILM.
