There's a huge money incentive for the tracks to continue to break down fast horses with big handicaps. Maybe a system of fines for every horse that breaks down would create an incentive for these establishments to be more humane. Just a thought. :-/
I highly recommend the movie. The book was clumsy and badly written, but the plot was excellent. It's a far better movie than it is a book.
And Tom Hanks...I dunno! Something about him as a bookish professor-type with longish hair...it made me all woogy in the knees. ;-)
