0:00:37 > 0:00:39PENNY: More than 3,000 years ago,

0:00:39 > 0:00:43a man named Job complained to God about all his troubles.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47And the Bible tells us that God answered.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50"Do you give the horse his strength?

0:00:50 > 0:00:53"Or clothe his neck with a flowing mane?

0:00:53 > 0:00:56"Do you make him leap like a locust,

0:00:56 > 0:00:59"striking terror with his proud snorting?

0:01:01 > 0:01:05"He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength

0:01:05 > 0:01:07"and charges into the fray.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10"He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13"He does not shy away from the sword.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15"The quiver rattles against his side,

0:01:15 > 0:01:19"along with the flashing spear and lance.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22"In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25"He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds."

0:01:51 > 0:01:53and two more to go in the hamper, if you wouldn't mind?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- I'll pick those up. - Also go by the wine shop,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59pick up some Riesling? I have a client coming in. That's all he drinks.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Daddy, I need to pick up a gown.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Another gown?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10When you earn your own money, you can buy gowns for every party.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14I'm sure we can find something reasonable. We can go look this weekend.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Not Gewurztraminer, only Riesling. - Mom, can we have pancakes?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Working on it. - Che Guevara or Ho Chi Minh?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- A Christmas pageant? When? - Spring.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's experimental. Has to do with Christmas and lots of things.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Really? That's great! What's the role?

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- The War Protester. - I was thinking that we could...

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- The what? - The War Protester.

0:02:36 > 0:02:37PHONE RINGS

0:02:37 > 0:02:40It's a really good role, Mom. You'll love it. You, too, Dad.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Tweedy residence. This is she. - War protester in a Christmas pageant?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53We'll leave this afternoon. Thank you.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14MAN: Hey, what are you doing? I don't pay you to dream, I pay you to work.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Now, let's get to it. Come on! You do that on your own time.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- What shall I have this time? - Thank you.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Oh, Hollis.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31Mama's gone.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36She's gone. Hi, Jack.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Hollis, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother was always so kind to me.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Miss Chenery, we're sorry. - Thank you.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Penny... SIGHS

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Penny, darling. Darling.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Girls, you remember Miss Ham? Granddaddy's secretary?

0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Hi, Miss Ham. - Oh, my, you two have grown.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Thank you so much, Miss Ham. For everything.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Hollis said you found her.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17She had just fallen. The doctor said she didn't suffer.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- She looked...peaceful. - Hmm.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25How is Daddy?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30He keeps asking, "Where is she?"

0:04:30 > 0:04:34But I'm not sure if he's asking for your mother or you.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Hmm.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Girls, I'm going to go in and see your granddaddy now.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42I'll bring you in later.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Come on, girls. Let's get you something to eat.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Don't let them fool you, darling.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's not whether they think we won.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's whether we think we won.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03You run your race, Penny.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06CHUCKLES

0:05:13 > 0:05:14We'll take 'em.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19FATHER'S VOICE: 'We just got ourselves a couple of new horses.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20YOUNG PENNY: 'Are we going to race them?'

0:05:20 > 0:05:22LAUGHS: 'No.'

0:05:22 > 0:05:25They're going to be mommies and daddies for new horses.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Helen?

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Daddy, it's Penny.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39Penny.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42You got married.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Yes.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49But I'm here now.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Because Mama's gone.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Mama's pin?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yours now.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Daddy.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24PRIEST: The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26From this time forth...

0:06:26 > 0:06:28and even for ever more.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33And so we return to You your faithful servant, Helen Chenery.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Loving mother, devoted wife...

0:06:36 > 0:06:38who lived each moment to the fullest,

0:06:38 > 0:06:41cherishing the life she had with her beloved husband, Christopher.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44And may the peace that passeth all understanding

0:06:44 > 0:06:47be in your hearts now and for ever more.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Amen. - ALL: Amen.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52THUNDER RUMBLES

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Eddie? Eddie, I just wanted to thank you so much for coming.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04Miss Penny, your mama was a fine woman. I just feel real bad for Mr Chenery.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08He always thought the world of you. He said you could hear the horses' thoughts through your hands.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Yeah, well, your father's a good man, Miss Penny.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14Thank you.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Mrs Tweedy?

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I'm Arthur Hancock. Your daddy called me...

0:07:21 > 0:07:25Bull! Oh, yes, and everyone else did, too, as I recall.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27This is my son, Seth.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Hi, nice to meet you. - Thank you for coming.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Your mother was a fine woman. It was a privilege just knowing her.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Thank you.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I know you're going to be making some changes,

0:07:36 > 0:07:40and if you or your family have any questions, Miss Ham's got my number.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Thank you, Bull.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45Ma'am...

0:07:47 > 0:07:50your daddy's eyes would always light up when he talked about you.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55How smart you are. How much you loved the horses.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02THUNDER RUMBLES

0:08:04 > 0:08:07HOLLIS: Doctor says there may be some brief moments

0:08:07 > 0:08:09when he is aware of things, but we shouldn't expect much.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Practical thing would be to put him in a nursing home.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18This is home to him. And he knows he's here.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23I think as long as he does, we should hire nurses and let him stay at home.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25LAUGHS The farm has to go.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27And it won't bring much.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's been losing money hand over fist for years now.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34We have to face facts. To run a horse breeding operation,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37you need a certain touch.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39I'm a professor, and you're a housewife.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44I moved up our flight to first thing tomorrow. I've got to get back.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Jack, I need a few more days here.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51I have to make sure Daddy's all right, sort through Mother's things.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54The kids could all do with a little responsibility.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56It will just be a few days.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00We need to file right away for his, um, power of attorney.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Miss Ham says he tried to sell four of his best horses last month

0:09:03 > 0:09:05for half of what they're worth.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Mom had to step in and stop him, and now...

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I suppose someone will have to clean up for the liquidation.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Hollis, if you need any help on the tax issues you call me, any time.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Thanks, Jack. It will just be for a few days.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23HORSE WHINNIES

0:09:23 > 0:09:24CHILDREN LAUGH

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Sarah makes great pancakes.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Oh, no! - They're toxic. We won't survive.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30That's right, you won't.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Make sure Hollis has that power of attorney order.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36- The estate's vulnerable. - I will. I'll stay on him.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Mom, give Granddaddy a hug for us when he wakes up.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I will. I love you! - CHILDREN: Love you!

0:09:42 > 0:09:43- CHILDREN: Bye, Mom! - Be good!

0:09:43 > 0:09:45KATE: We will!

0:09:59 > 0:10:01HORSES WHINNIES

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Miss Ham. Thank you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Two sugars and cream?

0:10:06 > 0:10:07How did you know?

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- It's how your daddy likes it. - Oh.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14You doing all right, honey?

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Yes.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21No. But I'll be all right.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27These two are both pregnant by Bold Ruler.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33And great colts come from great sires.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Miss Ham?

0:10:38 > 0:10:40My mother thought the world of you.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45And my father's trust in you was... is absolute.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47I hope you'll stay.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Funny, I was about to tell you the same thing.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53MAN: Al! Who the hell told you to bring this one out?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55The sable, put it back. Bring out the yearling in 18.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- AL: Yes, sir, Mr Jansen. - Who are you?

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Penny Tweedy.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Penny Chenery.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Oh, you're the daughter.

0:11:05 > 0:11:11- Better get back to work. - Excuse me, Mr Jansen?

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Could I talk with you a moment? In private?

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Oh.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- About what? - I wanted to ask you about that sale

0:11:19 > 0:11:22of those brood mares that my mother stopped a few weeks ago.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25I know you and your brother aren't horse people and you suffered a loss,

0:11:25 > 0:11:28but you don't need to worry about this right now.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Apparently, I do

0:11:30 > 0:11:32since they're my father's horses, and the sale would've been bad business.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35No, it's bad business to come to a barn, interrupt a trainer's work.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Not if you want to keep him. - I understand.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- But about that sale? - What about it?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44They were worth twice what we were going to sell them for.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47I couldn't sleep last night, so I checked the books

0:11:47 > 0:11:49and I made some calls this morning to be sure.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Like you say, I don't own the horses. Your father has to sell them.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55But as trainer, you would know their worth

0:11:55 > 0:11:57and that they were about to be sold.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'm wondering why it had to be my mother

0:11:59 > 0:12:00who stopped the sale and not you.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03The old man, your father? Ask him.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I'm asking you! My father's been sick for quite a long time now.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09You've been paid to look out for his interests.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12And I do! Just because this place is going downhill it ain't my fault.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16The sale was going to be to Oakworth Farms?

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I learned this morning that the owners of Oakworth

0:12:19 > 0:12:20were talking about selling our horses

0:12:20 > 0:12:22for twice the price they were going to pay us.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24You train for them, too, don't you?

0:12:24 > 0:12:28I don't have an exclusive deal here. I work for them sometimes. So what?

0:12:28 > 0:12:29So if you arranged a deal

0:12:29 > 0:12:33that gave them four horses at half their market value

0:12:33 > 0:12:35and they paid you back, plus an extra share on everything they made,

0:12:35 > 0:12:37that wouldn't just be disloyal.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39That would be committing fraud.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Who the hell do you think you are? Coming here, accusing me?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Someone who knows enough law to know she's right.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49And I'm not "missy" anything. Get your things and get off my farm!

0:12:49 > 0:12:53I have a contract, and I'll sue you.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57If I ever even hear your name again, I will see that you go to prison!

0:12:59 > 0:13:02TYRES SQUEALING ON GRAVEL

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Where does Bull Hancock eat lunch?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08At his club, every day.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12But it's gentlemen only.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:13:23 > 0:13:28Uh, miss? Uh... Miss, you can't...

0:13:28 > 0:13:30I'm sorry, Mr Hancock.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33I told her this was a gentleman's club, and she just...

0:13:33 > 0:13:35It's all right, Brenda. It's all right.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Thank you, Seth. I apologise for interrupting.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's fine. I have friends here, Miss Chenery.

0:13:41 > 0:13:42Thank you.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, how's it going?

0:13:47 > 0:13:50I fired Earl Jansen.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Do tell.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Does that mean you're selling the horses or keeping them?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58The farm's in bad shape, as is Daddy.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01But I'm not willing to sell it unless I get what it's worth.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Well, horse farm needs a strong hand on the reins,

0:14:07 > 0:14:09but the hand that threw Earl Jansen out the door

0:14:09 > 0:14:11looks pretty strong to me.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, I've got a family back in Denver.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18I need a good trainer just to get things stabilised.

0:14:22 > 0:14:28You need to talk to Lucien Laurin. He's a French Canadian.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Dresses like Super Fly.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32He's trying to retire.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35What do you mean, "trying"?

0:14:41 > 0:14:42GRUNTS

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Mr Laurin?

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Excuse me. I'm Penny Chenery, Chris Chenery's daughter.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07And, um, I need a trainer. Bull Hancock suggested that I find you...

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yeah, Bull called me, but I tell you,

0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'm tired of babysitting half-ton animals who are nearly as stubborn

0:15:12 > 0:15:14and stupid as their owners are.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18I've lost interest in racing. Don't even follow it any more.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, I'm in a bit of a tight spot.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26I wonder if you might just try it

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- for a few months and see how... - I don't need to try anything,

0:15:29 > 0:15:32and trainers don't go anywhere to work for a few months.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34They go where there is a good horse.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Well, we have plenty of good horses.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40No, you don't. You have one or two that might be worth the time,

0:15:40 > 0:15:43but you're a little short on people over there

0:15:43 > 0:15:45who know what they're doing.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Well, that's why I've come to see you, Mr Laurin.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50Miss, you're not hearing me.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52A trainer makes his living off commissions.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56Ten per cent off sales, ten per cent off winners.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58To get a top trainer, you need a top horse.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01You're going to have to go back to Bull

0:16:01 > 0:16:02and see if he has any other ideas.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Mr Laurin, two of our mares are pregnant by Bold Ruler

0:16:06 > 0:16:08who is the finest stallion of his generation.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Fore! - MAN: Hey!

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Fore! - MAN: Watch where you're hitting!

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Well, I yelled "fore," you idiot. That's what "fore" means.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23You see how I am, Miss Chenery, when I put myself

0:16:23 > 0:16:25in a position to do something poorly?

0:16:25 > 0:16:31And I'm afraid at your stable, I'd be yelling "fore" all day long.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Give my regards to your father.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Fore!

0:17:28 > 0:17:31HORSES WHINNY AND SNORT

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- JACK: 'When are you coming back?' - PENNY: 'Soon.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54'I need to talk to you about this coin toss thing.'

0:17:54 > 0:17:57- 'Coin toss?' - 'Jack, listen.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01'Stallions cost more than mares. No, they're more glamorous.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02'But Daddy knew that a great horse

0:18:02 > 0:18:05'comes just as much from the mare as the stallion.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08'He invested in mares, which is the first smart thing he did.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10'Second smart thing he did was he made a deal with

0:18:10 > 0:18:12'Ogden Phipps.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14JACK: 'Phipps? Richest man in America?'

0:18:14 > 0:18:17PENNY: 'Yes. Instead of paying a stud fee,

0:18:17 > 0:18:19'Daddy made a deal to breed Phipps'

0:18:19 > 0:18:21'best stallion with our two best mares.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23'When the mares are close to term,

0:18:23 > 0:18:26'they toss a coin to see who gets which foal.'

0:18:28 > 0:18:30That coin toss is in two weeks!

0:18:30 > 0:18:33What's the difference? I don't have any idea which horse to choose.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38I've been through the stud books, Jack. Bold Ruler, that's the sire.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41He was fast, but he couldn't last over distances.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Now the two dams are Hasty Matilda and Something Royal.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Hasty Matilda is eight years old. She's still young.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49'Since brood mares tend to produce

0:18:49 > 0:18:51'their best offspring while they're young,

0:18:51 > 0:18:55'that makes her foal the obvious choice, since Something Royal's 17.'

0:18:55 > 0:18:57But her grandsire was Princequillo.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00He had great stamina, Jack. Do you know what that means?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Penny? Penny!

0:19:02 > 0:19:03What?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06'Sire and dam and Sam-l-Am? What is this?'

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Come on. We need you here, Penny.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10'Come home.'

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Right after the coin toss.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20LINE GOES DEAD

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- You about ready? - We're ready.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Excuse me just a minute. - Mm-hm.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'll be making the toss. Are you waiting on anybody else?

0:19:37 > 0:19:42- No, I came alone. - We toss right on the hour.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Good luck to you. - Thank you.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Hi. Good to see you, Mr Hancock. How are you?

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Hollis. What are you doing here?

0:19:50 > 0:19:54I called Jack about our tax issues, and he told me you fired our trainer.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56How do you expect to fetch a good price on the farm

0:19:56 > 0:19:59if we don't have a training operation in place?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01He was dishonest. He had to go.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04You came down here because of a trainer?

0:20:04 > 0:20:08This coin toss is big. The foal could be worth a great deal.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09I checked with some of Phipps' people.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12They think he wants Hasty Matilda's foal.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13So that's who we'll choose.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15No, Hollis, I think that's wrong.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Something Royal's colt could have an unusual mix of speed and stamina.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Phipps has the best horse people

0:20:21 > 0:20:23in the world. You think you know more than they do?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25(Come on.)

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Please don't take offence, Miss Chenery,

0:20:32 > 0:20:36but your father almost never won our coin tosses.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39And I do hope you've inherited his luck.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42All right. We're all here now.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Mr Phipps has the call as the owner of Bold Ruler.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49The winner has the choice of the offspring of Mr Chenery's mares.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Hasty Matilda or Something Royal.

0:20:51 > 0:20:56Are we all in agreement here? All right. Here we go.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Call. - OGDEN: Heads.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Heads it is. I'll go with Hasty Matilda.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Miss Chenery. Please give my best to your father.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Well, that's that.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20But I got what I wanted.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21CORK POPS

0:21:23 > 0:21:28You got what nobody else wanted. Time to go home.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Can I give you a lift home?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35No, thank you, I have Daddy's truck here.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37- All right. - Bye, Bull.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46So, who won the coin toss?

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Phipps. He went with Hasty Matilda.

0:21:50 > 0:21:51Of course he did.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Call me when she's ready to drop her foal.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Pigs! Pigs. They're all such pigs!

0:22:09 > 0:22:11We've been putting on this Protest Pageant for a year.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Now the teacher says it's too political and we can't put it on.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15What do you mean you can't?

0:22:15 > 0:22:18They have a rule that theatre projects can't be political.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21When the teacher saw what we were doing... Dad, can we sue them?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23If you didn't disclose until today,

0:22:23 > 0:22:26they couldn't be held liable for a breach.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28What?

0:22:28 > 0:22:29PHONE RINGS

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Honey, listen. If this is really important to you, you won't...

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Tweedy residence. - MAN: 'Is Miss Chenery there?'

0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Can we talk about this some more? - Yeah. OK. Fine.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Penny. For Miss Chenery.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45- This is Penny. - 'This is Eddie.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48'Something Royal is about to drop her foal.'

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- All right. Thank you. - 'Bye, Miss Chenery.'

0:23:00 > 0:23:14Something Royal's foal is on its way. Kick hard! Come on! Kick, Chris! Come on. Good job!

0:23:15 > 0:23:21Hey, John. How would you like to come with me and see a horse being born?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Really? - Yeah!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25OK. SHE LAUGHS

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Une bete total.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35COLT WHINNIES

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Hey, Daddy. I brought you some company.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04This is the Bold Ruler colt, Daddy.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12We call him Big Red.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Let him run his race, darling.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47MAN OVER PA: 'Flight 226 to Denver is ready for boarding. Gate 33-D.'

0:26:04 > 0:26:08- PENNY: Almost done. - JACK: I know this is hard for you.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11How long do you think you can keep living two lives at once?

0:26:13 > 0:26:16The yearlings are looking good, especially the red one.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18We've cut expenses.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21We're breaking even.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27I thought the point was to sell the farm, not to break even.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33Penny When I went off to college, I felt like that colt.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Full of promise.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39Full of adventure, like I could...

0:26:41 > 0:26:42..make something work.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44I gave up a career to have our family, and...

0:26:45 > 0:26:49..this colt is part of our family now.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51I just want to see him run.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54So after two years of juggling all this...

0:26:56 > 0:27:00..it isn't ending, it's just...beginning?

0:27:20 > 0:27:22LUCIEN: How's he feel, Jimmy?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Just a big kid having fun out there.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27He'll figure it out. Huh, Red?

0:27:27 > 0:27:30LUCIEN: That's good. That's good.

0:27:30 > 0:27:35Now, listen, Jimmy, don't try to change his natural gait, OK?

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Don't force him. And also...

0:27:44 > 0:27:46PENNY: Well, Mr Laurin, what do you think?

0:27:46 > 0:27:49LUCIEN: I think he's 1,100 pounds of baby fat.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51He eats too much and too often.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54The only reason he doesn't eat more is because he's too busy sleeping.

0:27:54 > 0:27:59He only does what HE wants to do exactly when HE wants to do it.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03He lays against the back of that starting gate

0:28:03 > 0:28:06like he's in a hammock in the Caribbean.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10And when he finally does get out of the gate,

0:28:10 > 0:28:12it takes him for ever to find his stride.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Any other questions?

0:28:16 > 0:28:19I have one. How much did you spend on that hat?

0:28:19 > 0:28:22Right now this horse is all sleep and eat.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25But he's got fire inside him. Ain't that right, Red?

0:28:25 > 0:28:29That horse couldn't beat a fat man encased in cement

0:28:29 > 0:28:31being dragged backwards by a freight train.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Well, you should know, Mr Laurin.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35Mm-hm. BIG RED SNORTS

0:28:35 > 0:28:37You thought that was funny. I did, too.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39I wish we could just race him under his name - Red.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42The Jockey Club insists on unique names.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44I keep sending them, they keep rejecting them.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47I've tried Something Special, Royal Line, Deo Volente...

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Deo Volente. "God willing."

0:28:49 > 0:28:51God may have been willing, but The Jockey Club wasn't.

0:28:51 > 0:28:57Well, there is a race up in Aqueduct in a couple weeks.

0:28:57 > 0:29:02I think we should send him out. It's time. Not that I'm expecting much.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Let's enter him, then.

0:29:04 > 0:29:05Deo Volente.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- JACK: Well, that was really good! - BOYS: Can we be excused?

0:29:08 > 0:29:09Sure.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Please bring in the dessert. - OK, Mom.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14It's good you're home.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Your daughters have something

0:29:16 > 0:29:18- they want to talk to you about. - Oh?

0:29:18 > 0:29:19What's that?

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Kate and I were thinking of going to Chile.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24Just for a couple of months.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Chile? What for?

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Um...

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Teach English and learn Spanish. It's part of a cultural mission.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36A mission to stir up trouble and act cool, you mean?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Chile is socialist now.

0:29:38 > 0:29:39- Thank you. - Go play.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41It is not. And that's not why we're going.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44Although if an opportunity to protest the war did present itself...

0:29:44 > 0:29:46See? This is what you're missing.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Your teenage daughters growing up to become rebels.

0:29:48 > 0:29:49No, more like hippies. Free spirits.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Hippies are running from paying the price of freedom.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54If there's a price, how is it freedom, Dad?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56I'll answer that question when you become an adult.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58PENNY: Would anyone like some pie?

0:29:58 > 0:29:59- No, thanks. - No, thank you.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02PENNY: Well...

0:30:03 > 0:30:04SIGHS

0:30:04 > 0:30:07When do you have to give an answer by?

0:30:07 > 0:30:09There's a meeting for the parents on the fifth.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10The day after my Protest Pageant.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Your play? You're doing your play?

0:30:13 > 0:30:18Yeah. I present it as a civic arts summer programme, so...

0:30:18 > 0:30:23Oh, Kate, after two years, you're finally going to do it.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Both of you can make it, right?

0:30:28 > 0:30:31The new colt runs his first race on the fourth.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35That's in New York. I will be on the first plane home.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39- OK. - Oh, by the way, Miss Ham called.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Well, Lucien and I were so hoping

0:36:37 > 0:36:41that you'd be able to ride in our next race.

0:36:41 > 0:36:42I'll be ready. Why wouldn't I be?

0:36:45 > 0:36:49I spoke with some of the owners you ride for.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53They say you're one of the best. You got a great touch.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54You're great with young horses.

0:36:54 > 0:36:59They also say that you can be over-aggressive.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03Use bad judgment. Put a horse into too much traffic where he can't run.

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Then why did you come to me?

0:37:24 > 0:37:26What did Lucien say?

0:37:26 > 0:37:28That you're hard as nails.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31Miss Chenery, I risk my life every time I climb on a horse.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33I'm not afraid. Neither are they.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35I want to win, just like they do.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39It's true. The last horse I rode ran so hard his heart burst.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42But it's who they are. And it's who I am.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45You want somebody else, get somebody else.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26Likes to come from behind.

0:42:26 > 0:42:30Nerve-racking for me, but his fans love it.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35He likes to show off, doesn't he?

0:43:00 > 0:43:03PENNY: You are doing a great job with him, Lucien.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06Let me ask you something. Why did you choose me?

0:43:06 > 0:43:09I know Bull recommended me.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11But you had to know, you do your homework, that there were other

0:43:11 > 0:43:14more successful trainers you could've gotten.

0:43:14 > 0:43:18The truth? I was hungry. And so were you.

0:43:19 > 0:43:23I heard that you carried the clippings

0:43:23 > 0:43:25from the big races that you lost.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29So that's why you didn't try very hard to convince me.

0:43:29 > 0:43:34Well, I knew you couldn't stay retired, after I saw your golf swing.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39Hey! Secretariat! Horse of the Year!

0:44:00 > 0:44:02- Look at this. - Hey, Ronnie.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04- Good job, man. - Thank you, man.

0:44:04 > 0:44:07To the greatest horse I ever rode.

0:44:07 > 0:44:11And to its owner, who took on the old boys and won.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13But now that you've gotten their attention,

0:44:13 > 0:44:15you're going to have to take them on in earnest next year.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18- The races are longer. - Much longer.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20- The horses are faster. - Much faster.

0:44:20 > 0:44:23And every owner, every trainer, every jockey out there

0:44:23 > 0:44:25is going to be trying to bring us down.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30- I'll be ready. - Salut.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36PENNY: Horse of the Year! We have to celebrate.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39Is this the article that's going to be running across the country?

0:44:41 > 0:44:44It's your daddy, honey.

0:44:44 > 0:44:45He's had a stroke.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Let's just go.

0:44:56 > 0:45:00I don't think there's much left unsaid between us, Daddy.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05I always knew where you stood.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13And I'm grateful... so grateful,

0:45:13 > 0:45:16for the way you showed me

0:45:16 > 0:45:19what it was to stand up in the world and...

0:45:20 > 0:45:21...live the way you believe.

0:45:31 > 0:45:35The big red colt won Horse of the Year, Daddy.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39I think he can go all the way.

0:45:41 > 0:45:42And if he does...

0:45:44 > 0:45:45I hope...

0:45:46 > 0:45:47I hope...

0:46:26 > 0:46:29Jack, what are you doing here? How did you get here so fast?

0:46:29 > 0:46:31I'm so sorry about your father.

0:46:32 > 0:46:33I was already on my way.

0:46:33 > 0:46:37Already? Are the children all right?

0:46:37 > 0:46:40They're fine. I left Denver before I heard the news.

0:46:40 > 0:46:43Hollis had asked me to study the tax issues

0:46:43 > 0:46:46that would arise upon your father's death.

0:46:46 > 0:46:50Issues that now find us totally unprepared.

0:46:50 > 0:46:53So you've asked my husband to become your ally in this?

0:46:53 > 0:46:55It's family business.

0:46:55 > 0:46:56And, last time I checked,

0:46:56 > 0:47:00Jack and your children were still part of this family.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03Hollis, you're my brother and I love you,

0:47:03 > 0:47:06but if you presume to judge my fitness as a wife or mother

0:47:06 > 0:47:08I will count you a stranger for the rest of my life.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Penny, Hollis is only trying to talk sense.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13We need to regain some perspective.

0:47:13 > 0:47:14- Regain?! - Penny, it's just...

0:47:16 > 0:47:17Let's not talk about this right now.

0:47:20 > 0:47:24No. No, no, no. She needs to hear this.

0:47:24 > 0:47:25She needs to hear what?

0:47:25 > 0:47:27At the current value of his estate,

0:47:27 > 0:47:31the inheritance tax will be at least six million dollars.

0:47:31 > 0:47:34And neither of us has a fraction of that money.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38So we sell the mares and the yearlings.

0:47:38 > 0:47:42I had an appraisal done, and that won't get us HALF of what we need.

0:47:43 > 0:47:46But there is another option.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48I'm not selling him.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Due to his outstanding two-year-old season,

0:47:51 > 0:47:54if he were sold today, Secretariat would bring a price of

0:47:54 > 0:47:55seven million dollars.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58But if he were to lose just one of the Triple Crown races

0:47:58 > 0:48:01that value would drop to three million with no way to recover it.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03So we sell Secretariat.

0:48:03 > 0:48:05- You try and sell him and... - We're out of time.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08If we don't play this right, it could amount to nothing.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Our father came from nothing.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13And his legacy to me isn't money.

0:48:13 > 0:48:17It's the will to win! If you can. And live with it if you can't.

0:48:17 > 0:48:21If I have to challenge you in court on this, I will.

0:48:25 > 0:48:29Miss Ham? Would you come in here a moment, please?

0:48:33 > 0:48:35PENNY: Thank you, Miss Ham.

0:48:35 > 0:48:39Would you tell Jack and Hollis about the document that Daddy left for you.

0:48:43 > 0:48:48Five years ago, Mr Chenery had me witness him signing a provision that,

0:48:48 > 0:48:51while both of you are beneficiaries,

0:48:51 > 0:48:54dispersal of the farm would be left to Hollis.

0:48:54 > 0:48:58Decisions regarding the horses would be left to Penny.

0:49:01 > 0:49:04We could argue he already had dementia.

0:49:04 > 0:49:07He was of sound mind when he signed it.

0:49:07 > 0:49:11I'd swear to it...in court.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Thank you, Miss Ham.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21HOLLIS: Great(!) I teach economics at Harvard,

0:49:21 > 0:49:24and I don't know a way to conjure up six million dollars

0:49:24 > 0:49:27before you race him again. What makes you think you can?

0:49:28 > 0:49:32I'll find a way. And if I can't, I'll live with it.

0:49:32 > 0:49:36Why? Why do you need to live with it?

0:49:36 > 0:49:42Make me, the whole family, live with it for a past that is gone!

0:49:43 > 0:49:46Our father was a great man, but we can't bring him back.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48This isn't about going back.

0:49:48 > 0:49:52This is about life being ahead of you and you run at it.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55Because you never know how far you can go unless you run.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59That's great(!)

0:50:02 > 0:50:04But if you stumble and fall,

0:50:04 > 0:50:08you don't just make us fools, you make us beggars.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13When your horse people call the house,

0:50:13 > 0:50:15they don't ask for Mrs Tweedy, they ask for Miss Chenery.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19- Is that who you've become? - Jack...

0:50:21 > 0:50:24..Miss Chenery and Mrs Tweedy have always been the same person.

0:50:25 > 0:50:29I'm wondering how it is that Mr Tweedy could...take sides against me.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Trying to muscle me into something. Can't do that.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50- Good evening, Eddie. - Hi, ma'am.

0:50:54 > 0:50:56How are you, Big Red?

0:50:57 > 0:50:59- How's it going? - Ma'am...

0:50:59 > 0:51:03I reckon you heard about Bull Hancock, ma'am?

0:51:03 > 0:51:04No.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09Well...

0:51:11 > 0:51:17..after your daddy's funeral, they say he went home and just fell dead.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22SIGHS Oh...

0:51:26 > 0:51:29I don't know about the ways of God, ma'am,

0:51:29 > 0:51:33but...I know your daddy and Mr Bull lifted each other up.

0:51:33 > 0:51:37The way you lift me up and the way you lift up Red.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39Everything living lives from its heart,

0:51:39 > 0:51:42and I wish I can give you something to lift yours up.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47Well, thank you, Eddie. You just did.

0:51:57 > 0:51:59What does he see?

0:52:00 > 0:52:04When he looks at me, I feel like he looks right into me.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09He sees what matters to him, ma'am. What's immediate.

0:52:09 > 0:52:13The clouds and stuff, they don't mean nothing to a horse.

0:52:13 > 0:52:17Lights, sounds, flashes... Intentions!

0:52:17 > 0:52:19That's what a horse notices.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22Especially one as smart as Big Red here.

0:52:23 > 0:52:26And they can tell when the horse next to them or behind them

0:52:26 > 0:52:28wants to be first to the food. Or the mare.

0:52:28 > 0:52:31Or the finish line.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34That's what matters to them.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37Ain't that right?

0:52:45 > 0:52:48Well, it's never been done. But that doesn't mean it won't work.

0:52:49 > 0:52:53We offer 32 shareholders exclusive breeding rights.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56We call it "a select opportunity."

0:52:56 > 0:52:59Father would've loved that phrase. How much per?

0:53:00 > 0:53:01190,000.

0:53:04 > 0:53:05190...?!

0:53:06 > 0:53:07Mm-hm.

0:53:07 > 0:53:11That's more than anybody's ever paid for a breeding share. A lot more.

0:53:11 > 0:53:16That's what makes it exciting, Seth. Horseracing's all about excitement.

0:53:20 > 0:53:22He's been a great colt,

0:53:22 > 0:53:24but he's completely untried as a three-year-old.

0:53:24 > 0:53:28And the sons of Bold Ruler, they're long on speed, but short on stamina.

0:53:28 > 0:53:31Yeah, and his mother was old when she had him and Ogden Phipps

0:53:31 > 0:53:33knew all that when he could have chosen my colt.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36But he didn't. And now I'VE got Secretariat.

0:53:36 > 0:53:39And he's got a horse named Missed Opportunity.

0:53:39 > 0:53:42Daddy used to always say that rich people are rich

0:53:42 > 0:53:44because they're smart with their money.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47And they're going to insist on a performance clause.

0:53:47 > 0:53:50No son of Bold Ruler has ever won a single Triple Crown race.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52That's a mile-and-a-half distance

0:53:52 > 0:53:55that Secretariat's never come close to running.

0:53:55 > 0:53:58You're going to lose the farm and the horse, everything.

0:54:00 > 0:54:01HORSE WHINNIES

0:54:01 > 0:54:04SETH: This is a big deal. I have never done anything like this before.

0:54:04 > 0:54:05Nobody has.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10You mind if I ask why you called me?

0:54:10 > 0:54:12Well...

0:54:12 > 0:54:15Your father, he really helped me and...

0:54:17 > 0:54:18..and work is good for grief.

0:54:22 > 0:54:23I'm in.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28Howard Keck on line one, Bunker Hunt on line two.

0:54:34 > 0:54:37I was calling about a select opportunity on Secretariat.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39No, sir, he's not for sale.

0:54:39 > 0:54:44No, no, no, we are moving to syndicate his breeding rights.

0:54:44 > 0:54:46It's a select opportunity. We have 32 shares...

0:54:46 > 0:54:48'Oh, yes, sir. It's a great opportunity.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50'I will head that way. I'll see you in a bit.'

0:54:50 > 0:54:52All right, bye-bye.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54MR KECK: Look, Seth, I've been a part of lots of these deals,

0:54:54 > 0:54:56but I've never been asked to pay

0:54:56 > 0:54:58190 grand for a breeding share. Nobody has.

0:54:58 > 0:55:03Tell Mr Chenery's little girl that she's priced this colt

0:55:03 > 0:55:05like he's already won the Triple Crown.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07I'm calling on behalf of Penny Chenery. Oh, I see.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10We will call him back later. Thank you.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18'you're going to want to be in on this.'

0:55:18 > 0:55:21All due respect, but I got a pretty good handle on where I want to be.

0:55:21 > 0:55:23PENNY: You could have her give me a call me later this afternoon.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25SETH: Yes, Mr Cleaver, it's lots of money.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28But my father used to tell me you got to spend money to make it.

0:55:28 > 0:55:29MR CLEAVER: I'll put some thought into it,

0:55:29 > 0:55:30- all righty. - Thank you.

0:55:30 > 0:55:34MISS HAM: Jock Whitney's a "no." And Mr Mellon's on line two.

0:55:38 > 0:55:40Mr Mellon, thank you for getting back to me.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45Of course, I understand, Mr Mellon.

0:55:45 > 0:55:50I'll hold a share for you in case you reconsider. Thank you.

0:59:07 > 0:59:08- Ronnie! - Mrs Tweedy.

0:59:08 > 0:59:10- Going to have some lunch? - Yes, ma'am.

0:59:10 > 0:59:13Just getting a bite to eat before I go to the room. What about you?

0:59:13 > 0:59:15-I'm meeting somebody. - Hello, Mr Phipps,

0:59:15 > 0:59:17- Thank you for coming. - Miss Tweedy. My pleasure.

0:59:17 > 0:59:20- You know Ronnie Turcotte, my rider? - Ronnie.

0:59:20 > 0:59:21So, they call you "Tiny"?

0:59:21 > 0:59:23What?

0:59:23 > 0:59:25Mr Phipps...

0:59:29 > 0:59:31- Thank you for coming. - Sure.

0:59:34 > 0:59:37- Are we ready yet? - We're still thinking about it.

0:59:39 > 0:59:41If I smell the air correctly, Mrs Tweedy,

0:59:41 > 0:59:43you're about to ask me to spend a small fortune

0:59:43 > 0:59:47to buy a share in a horse I could've owned for nothing.

0:59:48 > 0:59:50That's true, I am.

0:59:50 > 0:59:52Nobody's buying yet, are they?

0:59:52 > 0:59:56That's right. They need someone to lead them.

0:59:56 > 0:59:59You know that horse I chose the day we flipped the coin?

0:59:59 > 1:00:03She's the prettiest, best-tempered horse in my whole stable.

1:00:04 > 1:00:06And she couldn't outrun my accountants.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09So now you've got the Horse of the Year, and I look foolish.

1:00:11 > 1:00:14It's not foolish to be unlucky, Mr Phipps.

1:00:14 > 1:00:17Most men, if they had chosen wrong and lost this horse

1:00:17 > 1:00:19wouldn't think of investing in him, but you're bigger than that.

1:00:19 > 1:00:21And if you do invest in him

1:00:21 > 1:00:24instead of being the man who lost Secretariat in the past,

1:00:24 > 1:00:28you'll be the one who had the vision to lead investors in his future.

1:00:28 > 1:00:30His future is uncertain.

1:00:30 > 1:00:33And I don't buy shares in untested three-year-olds.

1:00:33 > 1:00:36But my accountants,

1:00:36 > 1:00:39they may be slow afoot, but they are quick to calculate

1:00:39 > 1:00:42and they tell me that you're in a rough spot.

1:00:42 > 1:00:44So I'll buy that horse of yours right now.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47Seven million dollars. All cash.

1:00:49 > 1:00:51I can't do that.

1:00:53 > 1:00:58If he does what I think he'll do, his value will double, if not triple.

1:01:01 > 1:01:03You do know what you're saying.

1:01:03 > 1:01:06You're guaranteeing that this horse is going to win the Triple Crown.

1:01:06 > 1:01:09The Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont.

1:01:09 > 1:01:13Three races, three states in just five weeks.

1:01:14 > 1:01:16Hasn't been done in 25 years.

1:01:16 > 1:01:19There are a lot of good horsemen think it can't be done any more.

1:01:19 > 1:01:22Just understand, this is what you're saying.

1:01:22 > 1:01:24That is exactly what I'm saying.

1:01:31 > 1:01:32Eight million.

1:01:35 > 1:01:36No.

1:01:38 > 1:01:40You're that stubborn?

1:01:40 > 1:01:42I'm that right.

1:01:44 > 1:01:46Have we made up our mind yet?

1:01:47 > 1:01:49Yes, I think we have.

1:02:07 > 1:02:09'He hasn't faced a horse as good as Sham.

1:02:24 > 1:02:27Well, Seth, what do you make of that?

1:02:27 > 1:02:30I think that fellow is going to make Lucien say things in French

1:02:30 > 1:02:31my mama would spank him for.

1:02:31 > 1:02:34This guy will not shut his face!

1:02:34 > 1:02:39"Lucien Laurin cannot train a winning horse."

1:02:39 > 1:02:44OK, so he's saying that I'm incompetent. He never shuts up.

1:02:44 > 1:02:48This guy, he couldn't train a flea to jump.

1:02:48 > 1:02:52He couldn't train a monkey to pick at his own butt.

1:02:52 > 1:02:55- Step out here with me. - He could not train...

1:02:55 > 1:02:58The guy couldn't train his own bowel movements.

1:02:58 > 1:03:02The Wood is in New York. You're going to need a new dress.

1:03:26 > 1:03:31Is it really true Ogden Phipps offered you eight million dollars?

1:03:32 > 1:03:35It's true. And he wouldn't have made that offer

1:03:35 > 1:03:38unless he thought Secretariat would be worth twice that.

1:03:38 > 1:03:43The richest man in the world can take a risk like that, Penny.

1:03:43 > 1:03:45- 'But I can't.' - You?

1:08:15 > 1:08:18One loss can happen. Two is non-performance.

1:08:18 > 1:08:22- I understand. - I'm sure you do.

1:08:30 > 1:08:32Next time we'll bury him even worse!

1:08:34 > 1:08:37You cost me ten grand, Turcotte! Hey, loser!

1:08:37 > 1:08:38Loser!

1:08:38 > 1:08:41Who are you calling a loser? Think you can do any better?

1:08:41 > 1:08:43- Eddie! - LUCIEN: Ronnie. Ronnie!

1:08:43 > 1:08:44- What was that? - He didn't fire.

1:08:44 > 1:08:45He didn't sound right.

1:08:45 > 1:08:47- What do you mean? - In his other races

1:08:47 > 1:08:51- he sounded like a freight train. - Come with me. Just go inside.

1:08:51 > 1:08:52Sit!

1:08:53 > 1:08:57We just lost a race that we could NOT afford to lose!

1:08:57 > 1:09:00We finished third. Third! In front of Ogden Phipps!

1:09:00 > 1:09:04I've got a slew of other investors here. What am I supposed to say?

1:09:04 > 1:09:08Just tell them the truth. The horse had a bad day.

1:09:08 > 1:09:11The horse? We're blaming the horse now?!

1:09:12 > 1:09:16And you? How could you hold him back that long? What were you thinking?

1:09:16 > 1:09:18I didn't hold him back. I rode him the same way I always do.

1:09:18 > 1:09:21The only reason Sham didn't beat us worse is because

1:09:21 > 1:09:23his jockey couldn't believe what was happening!

1:09:23 > 1:09:25He was waiting for you.

1:09:25 > 1:09:27The only reason I don't fire you both

1:09:27 > 1:09:29is because we're leaving for Kentucky tomorrow.

1:09:29 > 1:09:31Do what you think is right, ma'am.

1:09:31 > 1:09:36It's not Ronnie's fault. He had him where he should be.

1:09:36 > 1:09:38Well, if it's not the horse and it's not Ronnie

1:09:38 > 1:09:40then you had better figure out what happened today

1:09:40 > 1:09:42and you had better fix it!

1:09:42 > 1:09:46Because if that is the best he can do at this distance, we are finished!

1:10:40 > 1:10:42- How much oats you usually give him? - 16 quarts.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45- 25 pounds of hay. - A day?

1:10:46 > 1:10:50That's more than a couple of pregnant mares would put away.

1:29:00 > 1:29:03'With three horses in, I'm going to give this to Chic Anderson,

1:29:03 > 1:29:05'who will call the race for you.

1:29:05 > 1:29:07CHIC: 'We're about ready to go as Ecole Etage...

1:29:07 > 1:29:09'Secretariat bobs his head.

1:29:09 > 1:29:12'We're still looking... And they're off!

1:29:12 > 1:29:16'For the early lead, that's Deadly Dream. On the outside, Ecole Etage.

1:29:16 > 1:29:19'Settling into second, Torsion. Sham has good position, third on the rail,

1:29:19 > 1:29:22'and Secretariat is last, again, as they move...'

1:29:22 > 1:29:26- Red's last. - He's last. Why is he always last?

1:29:27 > 1:29:32'But here comes Secretariat! He's moving fast! And he's going to the outside.

1:29:32 > 1:29:34'He's going for the lead, and it is right now he's looking for it!'

1:29:34 > 1:29:37- See him right there? - All right, Red.

1:29:37 > 1:29:38- Come on. - Yes.

1:29:38 > 1:29:42INDISTINCT CHATTER

1:29:44 > 1:29:46'Secretariat is right alongside.

1:29:47 > 1:29:53'Sham now going to the outside in third. We're moving down the backstretch.'

1:29:53 > 1:29:55They're incredible! Look at them!

1:29:55 > 1:29:57'Secretariat the leader by...'

1:29:57 > 1:29:59- Dad, you seeing this? - I see him.

1:29:59 > 1:30:02'And it looks like Ecole Etage has had it, dropping back in third.

1:30:02 > 1:30:05'Here's the race, folks. Secretariat trying to hold it.'

1:30:05 > 1:30:07Look at this!

1:30:07 > 1:30:09'Head of the stretch, Secretariat at two and a half.

1:30:09 > 1:30:12- 'Sham under a strong left-handed whip.

1:30:12 > 1:30:15'Secretariat by two lengths! Sham driving second!

1:30:15 > 1:30:19'It is Secretariat! He's coming to the wire! He wins it by two and a half,

1:30:19 > 1:30:21'almost three!'

1:30:21 > 1:30:23I don't believe this!

1:30:26 > 1:30:30'And it was a powerhouse race again by the big, strong Secretariat.

1:30:30 > 1:30:33'Here is Mrs Tweedy, who has just won

1:30:33 > 1:30:36'the second of two very important races to her.

1:30:36 > 1:30:39'Secretariat has now won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes,

1:30:39 > 1:30:42'and this time, he did it the same way.'

1:30:46 > 1:30:48What is it, Lucien? What's wrong?

1:30:48 > 1:30:49Nothing.

1:30:51 > 1:30:55He just won Preakness, like he won the Derby.

1:30:55 > 1:30:58You keep staring into your coffee. Are you worried about Red?

1:30:59 > 1:31:02Since Citation did it in 1948,

1:31:02 > 1:31:04seven horses have won the Derby and then the Preakness.

1:31:04 > 1:31:08Every single one of them has failed to win the Triple Crown.

1:31:08 > 1:31:10He just won the first two in record time.

1:31:10 > 1:31:14Yeah, and the Belmont is the graveyard of speed horses.

1:31:14 > 1:31:16It's the longest race they'll ever run.

1:31:17 > 1:31:19What do you suggest?

1:31:20 > 1:31:22Normally, we rest him, right?

1:31:22 > 1:31:24- Yeah. Sure. - Let him recuperate.

1:31:25 > 1:31:27Yeah. Mm-hm.

1:31:28 > 1:31:29But you don't want to back off.

1:31:30 > 1:31:32In all my years of training,

1:31:32 > 1:31:35I've never had a horse who loves to run the way this one does.

1:31:35 > 1:31:38You take that horse out one day, he's going to run faster the next.

1:31:38 > 1:31:40My instinct?

1:31:40 > 1:31:44My instinct is to train him. Hard. To stoke that fire.

1:31:44 > 1:31:48But if I'm wrong, then they will say

1:31:48 > 1:31:53that not only did we ruin the horse's chances at the Triple Crown,

1:31:53 > 1:31:55they may say we ruined the horse.

1:31:57 > 1:32:02Red is not afraid. And neither am I.

1:32:02 > 1:32:05Just remember, if we push him instead of rest him...

1:32:07 > 1:32:09..it could be dangerous.

1:32:09 > 1:32:11Nobody knows how much he can take.

1:32:13 > 1:32:15He does.

1:32:16 > 1:32:18He knows.

1:32:18 > 1:32:21REPORTERS CLAMOUR

1:32:21 > 1:32:24MAN: Mr Martin! Secretariat has beaten your horse twice.

1:32:24 > 1:32:25What makes this race different?

1:32:25 > 1:32:30Any good horseman will tell you that Secretariat is built for speed

1:32:30 > 1:32:32and Sham is built for distance.

1:32:32 > 1:32:35But, of course, uh, Miss Tweedy believes that her horse

1:32:35 > 1:32:38has somehow magically inherited both.

1:32:38 > 1:32:40I believe that this race is going to prove

1:32:40 > 1:32:44that her woman's intuition will only take her so far.

1:32:44 > 1:32:47Penny! What about all the attention Secretariat's getting?

1:32:47 > 1:32:50- Covers of both Time and Newsweek. - Well...

1:32:50 > 1:32:54Let me tell you something about all this talk about "super-horse."

1:32:54 > 1:32:56Sham broke the Derby record, too.

1:32:56 > 1:33:01He ran the second-fastest Derby. He ran the second-fastest Preakness. Ever.

1:33:01 > 1:33:04We were right there with the red horse every step of the way.

1:33:04 > 1:33:09And now we're getting ready to run the longest of the Triple Crown races.

1:33:09 > 1:33:11When we're done, you'll be calling Sham the super-horse!

1:33:11 > 1:33:13Any comment, Penny?

1:33:13 > 1:33:16Well, I'd have to say I agree completely with Mr Martin.

1:33:16 > 1:33:18His horse did run the second-fastest ever.

1:33:38 > 1:33:40We rest our horse, they push theirs.

1:33:49 > 1:33:51Oh, that's good time.

1:33:58 > 1:33:59I'm just asking.

1:35:31 > 1:35:32You're the best owner I ever saw.

1:35:34 > 1:35:39Turcotte and Edward say he's the smartest horse they've ever seen.

1:35:39 > 1:35:42Maybe. I've trained horses my whole life.

1:35:42 > 1:35:47I still don't have the slightest idea what they know and what they don't know.

1:35:47 > 1:35:51Three years ago, I would've said that a racehorse didn't care who his owner was.

1:35:51 > 1:35:53But then he's not a racehorse.

1:35:54 > 1:35:56He's Secretariat.
