"Secretariat" (2010) Preakness Scene Featuring Historical Footage

The racing scenes in this movie are all re-creations except one: the Preakness, which is seen on an old television in the Tweedy family den. That's historical footage of the actual race. This was a deliberate choice by director Randall Wallace, who wanted to blur the line between legend and reality, reminding audiences that this story, as grand as it seems, was true. The real Secretariat’s racing records still stand today.
