The film tells the story of the Penny Chenery and her United States' Hall of Fame racehorse, Secretariat who, in 1973, became the first horse in twenty-five years to win the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. The story centers around Penny Chenery who took over the financially troubled Meadow Stable from her ailing father and guided the horse through his Triple Crown season. Other key characters are trainer Lucien Laurin and jockey Ron Turcotte.
According to one of the film's producers, the horse wrangler who worked on Seabiscuit is casting several horses to play Secretariat.[1] The film is based largely on William Nack's book Secretariat: The Making of a Champion. He is also a consultant for the film.[1] Part of the film was shot on location in both Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky for three weeks and the production has since moved on to Louisiana to reproduce the Triple Crown infields at Evangeline Downs, located in Opelousas,Louisiana.[2]
