Hey, we were there, too! Wish we could have met up.

The movie would have to be fascinating for anyone not familiar with racing (it's intended audience) but I'd think everyone else already a fan would love it, too.

Saw Byk's moment of fame - well done, Steve!

I agree 100%. It was great seeing it from a racing fan perspective, but it would have been cool to see it without being a racing fan. Classy film, but also alot of fun...

Steve was seen for a few moments - a journalist interviewing ... was it Dale Romans? Steve?

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 !

How many DT'ers do you think live in the area? With all that knowledge at one race course it could be deadly......for us or the track i dont know but would be fun to see.

Have to go down to the Meet and Greet get together room ... Bill W is in town now and saw the film (Bill, I know you liked it, what did you like best?), and this past weekend several were at Kee.

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.

Yes.. Romans and I with Sharp Humor.

Kind of a funny story leading up to that moment too... When I approached Dale, whom I had only spoken to on ATR but hadn't met in person, he put his hand up and said, "Wait.. are you that guy I won't talk to?" I said I didn't know if I was or not, and introduced myself. He said, "OK.. You do the radio. I thought maybe you were that guy I don't talk to from the Palm Beach paper (Hal Habib)." You probably needed to be there but it still makes me laugh.
