Out of the Gate with ... Faith Conroy
America's Best Racing

"It was such an honor to get a chance to play a leading lady in a film that's not a damsel in distress or a femme fatale."

Check out America's Best Racing interview of Jim Wilson and Faith Conroy at Gulfstream racetrack in Hallandale Beach, Florida.

"I got to play someone that a: I respect, b: I fell in love with, and c: is a real American cowboy."

"I know when I want to do something because I can't stop thinking about it ... the moment I closed the script the first time I read it, it hasn't left my thoughts."

"The idea of getting on a bus is pretty novel — and also going to not just the major cities but to go out into the heartland of America."

TDN Q&A -
JIM WILSON, DIRECTOR & PRODUCER OF 50 to 1
Thoroughbred Daily News

"The plan for the film's release is to take it state by state, starting in New Mexico, and almost following Mine That Bird's path to the Kentucky Derby as the movie heads east. ... It's unorthodox, but then so is driving a Kentucky Derby-winning horse across the country in a trailer hitched to a pick-up truck. ... Just like Mine That Bird, Jim Wilson doesn't need to spend a lot of money to prove to you that what he's hauling in his truck is the real deal. And when he lets it out to run, that sucker's gonna romp." - Writer David Hill

'50 to 1' a Throwback and a Romp
America's Best Racing

"I'd been looking for a horse story for a long, long time to put on the screen, so I went down to Roswell, New Mexico. I met with the owners, Mark Allen, Leonard Blach, eventually the trainer, Chip Woolley, and I said 'Oh my gosh, these are the most colorful characters you can find.' That coupled with this race, I said, 'I'm hooked.'" - '50 to 1' Producer/Director Jim Wilson

"I actually did spend time with Bird. Believe it or not, I went down to Roswell, New Mexico, and spent time giving him peppermints, and I said, 'Buddy, you can't pick up the phone. I can. I'm going to make your story." - '50 to 1' Producer/Director Jim Wilson

The Courier-Journal - Louisville, Ky, Writer Jonathan Lintner

"This horse must be a bionic horse to do something like that, and it's almost unbelievable until you see it." - Christian Kane (Mark Allen)

"It's such a heart warming story. ... When I read (the script) at first, I was like 'this can't be real' and then I watched the video of (the race), and all you feel from it is just the heart of that horse." - Skeet Ulrich (Chip Woolley)
