The Disney movie, directed by Randall Wallace, is billed as “based on the true story” of the 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat, as written by William Nack. It is not the true story.

Who are the two mares impregnated from in the movie Secretariat?
Bold Ruler
Penny’s father’s legacy includes two mares pregnant by Bold Ruler, a champion stallion owned by financier Ogden Phipps (James Cromwell), who is described throughout the movie as the world’s richest man.
How true is the movie Secretariat?
However, the movie is not based on a true story like most people thought. Since we are talking about a movie produced by Disney that is known for adding their own spin-offs on original stories, it is not shocking to find out that The Secretariat is not interlaid true.
