From Livejournal's (sponsored) "Writer's Block" prompt:
Secretariat is the impossible true story of one of the greatest athletes of all time and the extraordinary woman who believed in him...
For those of you who don't know, here is Secretariat.
Oh, Writer's Block. Where do I even begin to deconstruct this? The spurious use of the term "athlete"? The fact that this is being pitched as yet another "stand by your man" story, but, even more degradingly, the man in question is a horse?!
Goodness.
