The Impossible True Story

Overview

Housewife and mother Penny Chenery 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 - manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.

A review by Andres Gomez
Written by Andres Gomez on 2014-11-24
Quite decent story telling. Not too big pretensions and nice performance from a well chosen cast.

The story is quite stereotypical but it is well done.
