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.
