Dreamer (2005)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Based on a true story, this tells the tale of a family struggling to keep their farm while working the racing ring. On the other side is Sonador, filly thoroughbred race horse with a bad break - in her right foreleg. Not only could this ruin her on the flat, but she's also infertile as well. With no use as a brood mare, either she recovers or she dies, already having hurt the finances of the unlikely struggling family that saved her in the first place. Who would have expected the daughter to be the one to go to bat for Sonador the second time, pushing until this horse has a chance to really come from behind. If you love horses like I do, you'll like this movie. Not as intense or focused on racing as Secretariat or Seabiscuit, this is still a lovely tale.
