Its warm, unpretentious underdog energy and close-knit community rooting for an unlikely racehorse echo The Cup’s preference for heartfelt achievement over cynicism.

A humane racing drama in which sporting hope helps bruised people reconnect; it shares The Cup’s period detail, emotional generosity and reverence for a big race without losing the human stakes.
Why this pick
