This film is referenced by name.

The legendary horse was mentioned in dialogue along with Secretariat, another legendary horse who had a film made about him. Additionally, one of the co-stars of this film, Tom Burlinson, appeared as the lead jockey in Phar Lap, and this film's director, Simon Wincer, also directed Phar Lap.
