Synopsis

From her parents' climb out of poverty to her own emergence as the 'First Lady of Racing,' Penny Chenery has always been fueled by the love of horses. Forever paired with the great racehorse Secretariat, Penny's personal story also exemplifies the rise of women of her generation. Based on a series of intimate conversations with award-winning filmmaker John Tweedy, 'Penny & Red' reveals her story as never before. 'A stunningly honest account of Penny's life, made more poignant by her unsparing self-reflection. It has the uncracked ring of truth.' -- Bill Nack, author and journalist.
