underdog tales, and this was one."

"The plan for the film's release
is to take it state by state, starting in New Mexico, and almost
following Mine That Bird's path to the Kentucky Derby as the
movie heads east. ... It's unorthodox, but then so is driving
a Kentucky Derby-winning horse across the country in a trailer
hitched to a pick-up truck. ... Just like Mine That Bird, Jim
Wilson doesn't need to spend a lot of money to prove to you that
what he's hauling in his truck is the real deal. And when he
lets it out to run, that sucker's gonna romp." - Writer

'50 to 1' a Throwback and a Romp
America's Best Racing
"I'd been looking for a horse
story for a long, long time to put on the screen, so I went down
to Roswell, New Mexico. I met with the owners, Mark Allen, Leonard
Blach, eventually the trainer, Chip Woolley, and I said 'Oh my
gosh, these are the most colorful characters you can find.' That
coupled with this race, I said, 'I'm hooked.'" - '50 to
1' Producer/Director Jim Wilson
Jim Wilson Interview for Race Day America
Horse Racing TV (HRTV)
"I actually did spend time with
Bird. Believe it or not, I went down to Roswell, New Mexico,
and spent time giving him peppermints, and I said, 'Buddy, you
can't pick up the phone. I can. I'm going to make your story."
- '50 to 1' Producer/Director Jim Wilson

Odds are that '50 to 1' will be a hit

The Courier-Journal - Louisville, Ky, Writer Jonathan Lintner
"This horse must be a bionic
horse to do something like that, and it's almost unbelievable
until you see it." - Christian Kane (Mark Allen)
"It's such a heart warming story.
... When I read (the script) at first, I was like 'this can't
be real' and then I watched the video of (the race), and all
you feel from it is just the heart of that horse." - Skeet
Ulrich (Chip Woolley)
