Sally plays the part of the horse more convincingly than any horse I've seen in a movie, before or since. I'd like to say that she's kept her hooves firmly on the ground and fame hasn't spoiled her, but you can clearly see that only one hoof ever touches the earth at any given time.
Domm was a bit stiff in the supporting role, but he plays the part of the jockey quite adequately. At times he seems to rein in her enthusiasm.
