A simple, yet pretty decent film about an older jockey having to face the facts and the future. It's a rough job and it takes its toll never mind that it is naturally age limited like all athletes, most younger than this. As a fan of racing, I found much of the authenticity here refreshing as most films about racing are pretty fake such as the lousy Secretariat. Most films about horses are sad for some reason. Not all, but the majority. The three principle actors here, veteran Clifton Collins, Jr., Molly Parker and Moises Arias are all fine and I especially liked the relationship between Collins and Parker. They were very touching, however the relationship between Collins and Arias was more unusual and intriguing. There is next to no racing shown in this film, but that's okay as this is about the people, not the horses.
