Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
RACE FOR THE CROWN gives viewers an inside look at the world of elite horse racing. The series follows owners, trainers, and jockeys as they chase the elusive Triple Crown. It dives into the personalities and egos driving the sport, both on and off the track.
Is It Any Good?
This glossy, fast-paced docuseries offers an unapologetic look inside the high-stakes, ego-driven world of elite horse racing. While many of the featured horse owners come off as brash, self-interested, and obsessed with status, Race to the Crown's behind-the-scenes access is undeniably compelling. The personalities are bold, the money is eye-popping, and the pressure is real. Viewers may not admire everyone on-screen, but the series succeeds in pulling you into the drama, competition, and spectacle of chasing the Triple Crown.
