Factual error: Secretariat is training at the track but yet doesn't have his Jockey Club papers, and still without a name. No track lets you on without papers in the race office.
Factual error: When Secretariat crosses the finish line, that finish line pole is not from Belmont, that finish line pole is from Keeneland.
Continuity mistake: Just before Secretariat's first race, the main characters are discussing tactics in the parade ring. In the background is a jockey in pink and gold colours standing by his horse. When the shot changes angles he is mounted and being led out onto the race track. This means that he would have only taken one second to mount and travel a distance of about 10 meters. A couple of shots later he suddenly appears again, but this time he is being led into the saddling-up area, even though the jockey is already on board.
Chris Chenery: It's not whether they think we won. It's whether we think we won.
Trivia: The real Penny Chenery, the owner of Secretariat, makes a cameo as a spectator at the Belmont Stakes.
