Plot: The inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely race horse bred by small town bartender, Jan Vokes. With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites. Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community.

'Dream Horse' is now available for rental (or purchase) via iTunes. I think we are going to give it a chance. Critics and audiences seem to be loving it. Current RT score is 90%/97%.

I'm a sucker for films like 'Seabiscuit' and 'Secretariat'. This seems like it will be more of the same, which is fine by me.

Has anyone here seen it yet?

Saw it and enjoyed it. Good movie. I rate it a solid B.

We just finished watching it. A bit predictable but very entertaining. We got sucked in and the two hours flew by.

The Booth Bijou gives ‘Dream Horse’ 4 out of 5 stars.
