I think it's a horse thing, too...anyone who loves horses will like it no matter their *equipment.*

My sisters have seen it twice, already, and are ready to see it again. I don't like the theatre it is showing in, so will wait. We did see a wonderful docu on PBS the other night which seemed to me might be even better than the movie. It has a lot of actual footage, as I understand the movie does, but it also featured interviews with his daughter, old jockeys, old trainers, the book's author, etc. Really was incredibly good.

It certainly wasn't just a gender thing when it actually happened. My dad remembers the Seabiscuit *fever* which swept the entire nation.
