Boilerplate Disney sports film, the true story of the 1973 Triple Crown winner, fabulous as it unfolded in the sports pages and telecasts of the time, predigested and predictable as recounted on the big screen, no suspense, nothing but basking. Diane Lane does a good job in a bad wig as the horse’s “housewife” owner, and John Malkovich wears some funny hats, ties, pants, jackets, as the literally colorful trainer. With Margo Martindale, Dylan Walsh, Scott Glenn, and James Cromwell; directed by Randall Wallace. (2010) — Duncan Shepherd
