Secretariat: the movie

Based on the remarkable true story, Secretariat chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich, the movie goes on general release on Friday 3 December, 2010, across cinemas nationwide.

Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery – with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich) – manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.
