PENNY CHENERY TWEEDY (Diane Lane)
Penny Chenery Tweedy lives in a nice Denver home with her lawyer husband and four children. But when her mother passes and her father’s health takes a turn for the worse, she turns her life—and her family’s lives—upside down and takes over the Virginia-based horse farm where she was raised. Meadow Stables, once a thriving and well-respected business, is struggling financially, but Penny refuses to sell and instead decides to bet on a promising colt that isn’t even born yet. Armed with an intimate knowledge of horses, the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin and a growing confidence that surfaces at exactly the right time, Penny learns to navigate the male-dominated horse-racing world, ultimately fostering what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.

SECRETARIAT (several equine actors)
With Bold Ruler as a father and SomethingRoyal as a mother, this horse’s destiny was clear—at least it was to the two people who helped get him there. Born with his signature red coat and three white socks, the horse was known to those who loved him as Big Red, though he competed under the now famous moniker Secretariat. Red enjoys eating—a lot—snuggling up to his owner Penny and getting his picture taken, but most of all, he likes to run—fast. In fact, he was the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown—which consists of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. He won the latter by an extraordinary 31 lengths—just to make sure his doubters believed. Mission accomplished.
