Summary
Housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge.

Quite decent story telling. Not too big pretensions and nice performance from a well chosen cast.
The story is quite stereotypical but it is well done.
