i love your movie,six days and seven night..hope there should be episodes coming this year.
I would like to know the name of the movie that he stared in where he was the owner of a famous race horse.
Hi Shaun,
I honestly cannot recall a Harrison Ford race horse movie. I reviewed his bio with film credits and don’t see one. The most prominent race horse movies of the last decade have been Seabiscuit and Secretariat.
Best,
Neil
