Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bob Clark directed this between 'Baby Geniuses' and 'Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2'—yes, really. Horse drama was his palette cleanser.
This aired on CBS in 1995 when TV movies still got 20+ million viewers; it represents the dying gasp of the network 'Movie of the Week' era before cable dominance.
