Good Disney movie. As with most movies based on fact, there was a lot of liberty taken (the financial straights the stable was in, in the movie, was entirely made up)), but it's a good heart warming movie none-the-less. The actual races the horse won were accurately depicted. Many sports critics actually think the movie UNDERSTATED his achievements.

And if you want to know where the movie strayed from fact to fiction:
