Yeah, Roman's kid was a stitch.

The best part was the country cousin hitting the Churchill Downs VP with a golf ball at some golf outing <g> And just pouring the bourbon down his throat straight from the bottle when the mixer ran out. Yay boy, big fun in L'ville.

The movie is playing starting Friday in Louisville, and also here in Lexington - I'll go see it again.

One of the Hennegan brothers told me they are going to be on Martha Stewart this week, making Derby pie.

Yeah, we need to start getting DT folks together at Kee, CD !

Will be there this weekend and Derby weekend. Send me a PM if you want to get together.

Well, I don't reckon it's going make it to Beaumont, Texas anytime soon... No surprise there . Guess I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD.

Beaumont? Tracy Byrd is from Beaumont.

If it makes you feel any better, Orlando isn't on the list either.

Guys, it seems if you can get your local indie theatre to contact the Hennegans, they'll send the film out to your area!

I didn't see that message, but apparently there were a few DT-ers at the 7:20 show last night! We were the ones drinking beers throughout, while my ladyfriend was pretty much in tears from the time Barbaro wins the Derby until the end. Really a great documentary in the insight it gives into the real human element of the horse racing business.

Sorry to miss the other DTers in attendence last night. I really enjoyed the film a great deal and highly recommend to those who have not seen thus far.

Great little cameo by the Bykster and Dale Romans and family are a real trip. And I really liked the ending. Going out on a limb. Nicanor is my 2009 Derby horse.

I hadn't had the chance to mention this, but John Hennegan himself was selling - and autographing - the DVD of the First Saturday in May at the Derby. He was a really, genuinely nice guy, and I didn't hesitate in buying the DVD from him. I'd encourage everyone to get themselves a copy of the movie, it's certainly well worth the $20 bucks or so.

do you know when they might be shipping??
