Randall Wallace is ready to direct “Secretariat,” a Walt Disney family drama written by Mike Rich, according to Variety.

The film will focus on Penny Chenery, an American racehorse owner whose thoroughbred Secretariat won the 1973 Tripe Crown.

Chenery first stepped into the world of horses and racing when she took over her father’s horse farm in Virginia. Following her horse’s extraordinary win, she later became known as the “first lady of racing.”

Wallace is famous for writing “Braveheart” and “Pearl Harbor.” He also directed “The Man in the Iron Mask” and Mel Gibson’s war drama “We Were Soldiers.”

Another year, another horse flick. After “Seabiscuit,” “Dreamer,” “Flicka” and several others, I’m about to take a break from all that racing. How about you?
