The rescue they mention in the show (The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation) is a real charity, and a great one. I've worked with the organization and the horses really do make a huge impact on the inmates. Their website is trfinc.org if you're interested.

It was Baffert. I love seeing actual trainers and track figures peppered throughout the show. The guy who plays Goose is another familiar face on the racing circuit.

I Want Revenge in the 2009 Wood Memorial is a good example. He went on to be the Derby favorite that year but got hurt before the main event. http://www.youtube.com/watc…
