First Saturday in May...

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Saw the movie last night @ the Saratoga Film Forum, very little place with a sold out crowd. The movie was great! a must for every thoroughbred fan to see. Great job by the "brothers" from the beginning of the derby trail right to the big race. Covered every aspect; funny, serious, exciting & sad. A real peoples view of getting to the race..... The "hard nosed" New Yorker (Amonte), the funny Kentucky connections (Romans), the west coast trainer & what he has overcome (Hendricks), the Southern gentlemen (Holthus), the mild mannered teacher (Matz) and the trainer coming back to the states after success across the pond (McLaughlin). The Roman's family was especially entertaining.
