Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

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.
