Disney's Secretariat movie tells the true life story of 'Penny Chenery' and her thoroughbred racehorse, 'Secretariat', who became the first horse in twenty-five years to win the U.S. Triple Crown in 1973.

Diane Lane stars as 'Penny Chenery', who took over responsibility for her ailing family-owned, thoroughbred racing operation and horse breeding business in Caroline County, Virginia, 'Meadow Farm Stable', when illness forced her father to be admitted to hospital in February 1968.

When Penny Chenery hired his son, 'Roger Laurin', to train and manage her stables, he helped return her business to profitability by cutting costs before moving on to work elsewhere. As an interim measure he suggested his retired father, Lucien, may help out temporarily at Meadow Stables in his place. And the rest as they say is racehorse history.
