  • Discussion Guide
    A BUG’SSecretariat LIFE Synopsis With the death of her mother, housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery — with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin — manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in twenty-five years. Discussion Questions • When Penny’s mother died she stayed at her family’s Virginia home to look after the family business despite having no formal background in horseracing. How do you think she became so successful so quickly? • Penny hoped that Lucien Laurin would come out of retirement to help her train her horse. At first he resisted. Why did he change his mind? • As the horse was growing up, they called him Big Red. When they began to race him in respectable races he was forced to have a more respectable name. What does the name Secretariat mean? Why do you think they chose this name? Do you think the name Secretariat fits the horse? Why? • While there was stress on Penny’s family relationships because she was back and forth between her homes in Colorado and Virginia, her family remained intact. What are some of the reasons you attribute to the fact that the bonds between her and her children, and her and her husband were still strong at the end of the film? • What do you believe was behind Penny’s desire to succeed? At one point in the film Penny realized that they could sell everything from her parent’s estate and pay off what they owed on the farm, but she was not willing.
