I started watching the show when it was first released on TV a few years ago. Then with school my schedule got a little crazy. I just finished watching all 52 episodes again, and I forgot how much i loved the TV show. Some times there is a bit to much drama in the show, but I like the fact that most of the characters work it out. I didn't like how the series ended, and I think ABC made a mistake in cutting the series, but that is my opinion. I love the horses, and I love the trials the characters go through. I really wish ABC Family wouldn't have cut the lineup. I did feel a bit rushed the last few episodes.It was like everything happened so fast and then it was over.
... View MoreI am a 50 year old male. I have been a decades long time fan of thoroughbred racing, so this show caught my eye on Netflix. I am also unemployed, so I pretty much pulled a full marathon over a couple of weeks.First, I must say I absolutely loved the 'behind-the-scenes' look at the racing industry, from the owners, to the trainers, to the jockeys, to the vets, and even the unsavory characters. Absolutely magnificent and will recommend to any thoroughbred racing fan.I am not a prude, but I do not understand how this series can be labeled a 'family show'. Sure, it is not an R rated production, but the behavior of some of the characters leaves much to be desired, especially when they are 'the heroes' of the show. I personally think love and lust gets confused here and they made it seem like it is OK to jump from bed to bed. I'll give them a little credit to show there are some consequences to that, but still...Spoilers Start Here - I was happy with the ending. Nice guys do not always finish last.It is interesting how the screen writers played with my emotions. The villains ended up being not so bad at all, while the heroine was selfish, manipulative, self-centered, egotistical and an overall trouble-maker. Well, things did work out as they should had at the very end, and I guess everyone learned their lesson.It was a good series and even though I was not happy it was over, it did end with a satisfying conclusion.

... View MoreMy 14 year old horse loving daughter loves this show which means that the entire house has to watch.I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the writing and acting of some characters--notably Genevieve Cortese, Arye Gross, and the especially talented Nana Visitor. Sadly, all of the acting is not of that quality. Greg Serano as Pablo seems stiff and stoic in every scene.Production quality could be stepped up a bit, but I suspect they're squeezing everything possible from the budget.There have been a few scenes that might be too sexually charged or violent for young children, but the rating system works. Use it if you have young children watching television.
