The Ride of Their Lives

The untold story of the legendary racehorse Timely Writer and his blue-collar owners chronicles the Martin brothers' rags-to-riches fairy tale story as they take on the horse racing establishment during the 1980s. Purchased by two brothers and butchers from Boston, the colt rises from a horse nobody wanted to one everyone needed to call their own. Crowned the "people's champion," and with comparisons to the great Seabiscuit, the tale of Timely Writer brings the colt to the brink of immortality as the overwhelming favorite for the 1982 Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown races. Join along with the Martin family for an emotional roller coaster ride aboard Timely Writer as their story spreads from Boston throughout the country.
