When Hollywood produced a movie about Secretariat winning the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing everyone started questioning when Annie’s Dangerous victory would also make it onto the big screen. The world premiere of Secretariat, the 1973 Triple Crown winner and the woman behind his success garnered mixed reviews but only because everyone is already anticipating the release of “Samster: The Movie!” Secretariat features a remarkable cast that includes Diane Lane, John Malkovich and Dylan Walsh and several horses. The luminous Diane Lane delivers a remarkable performance as housewife and mother, Penny Chenery (Diane Lane), who agrees to take over her ailing father's stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. (I know you know where I’m going with this!). Anyhow, Penny manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.
The press junket use the word ‘remarkable’ a lot but what I find truly remarkable is the remarkable resemblance between the other Triple Crown Winner, Annies’ Dangerous. Now that’s a story that deserves to be told. Samster: The Movie!; featuring the remarkable Samster, a housewife and mother, Samster (Samster) agrees to take over her husband's stable, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Anyhow, Samster manages to navigate the male-dominated business of virtual horse racing on Digiturf.com, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.
Samster agreed to an interview shortly after winning her 9,000th race on Digiturf.com. Clearly, she’s reluctant of any media attention but she remains both gracious and cordial. She wears an elegant striped silk blouse in emerald green and a peculiar shade of caterpillar yellow, which she’s paired with a simple string of pearls which she fidgets with whenever she’s considering her answers. The Queen of Digiturf measures the weight of every word because if anything she says is going to be misconstrued it’s going to be in the forums. Samster says, “Reaching 9,000 wins… Although it's a nice landmark, my husband and I would rather think of 10,000 as a truer more meaningful achievement, it has a nicer ring to it.” “The most challenging obstacle for reaching 9,000 wins was to continue to maintain your stable, my husband and I consider Samster Stables to be strictly a blue collar operation that must continue to chug along, through thick and thin without investing new money, and the only way to achieve this goal is to never go stagnant even if it means just claiming an occasional horse or two.” “The advice I would give the continuous stream of new Digiturfers is to learn all aspects of the game before investing big money and then they must decide what you want to achieve personally playing this challenging game. There are endless possibilities with grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 horses and players no matter how big or small their budget is must find their own niche and goals, not everyone needs to be in the top fifty to have fun playing.” “I know many players with grade 2 stables having the time of their life and enjoying the game on a tight budget although I personally choose to play the grade 1 part of the game exclusively because as the infamous bank robber Willy Sutton quoted in the fifty's "that's where the money is!"” “As far as how to celebrate achievements such as 9,000 wins etc I would have to leave that to Digiturf’s hierarchy to make those decisions but long term achievements are going to be quite rare due to the time and dedication needed. The game has many peaks and valleys and many players never make it past the first valley...”
A discreetly dressed maid enters the room and quietly informs Samster that an uninvited guest, identifying herself only as Ms. Fitzgerald has arrived. Samster rises to attention, smoothing out any creases in her silks before reaching behind her chaise longue to extract the biggest AK47 one has ever seen. She cocks it with a smile as she excuses herself, explaining she has some business to attend to. Without saying a word, the interview is over. I’m left wondering how Samster will approach her 10,000th win when I realize the maid was instructed to watch that I don’t touch any of the silverware. It’s time to leave. There’s a provisional copy of the script titled: ”Samster:The Movie!”. Negotiations have stalled unless Disney can get Tina Fey to portray Samster’s dramatic triumph in the world of virtual horse racing. Adam Sandler has been chosen to play her husband.
