Following a diverse group of individuals and horses for a year leading up to the 2009 Kentucky Derby, THOROUGHBRED is a timeless film that captures the beauty of the breed, the thrilling nature of the sport, and the deep reservoir of history and tradition behind this equine wonder. Directed by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Paul Wagner, THOROUGHBRED ranges from Central Kentucky to Dubai to trace the breed's fascinating history and to meet the people, who breed them, sell them, race them, and love them. From foaling barn to finish line, this documentary explores the story of this remarkable animal, its unique bond with humans, and the unparalleled spirit of competition that imbues the story of the thoroughbred with power and meaning.
