Join Eclipse Award-winning filmmakers, the Hennegan Brothers, for a tenth anniversary screening of The First Saturday in May. The documentary chronicles the paths of several horses and their connections to the 2006 Kentucky Derby, which was ultimately won by Barbaro. The film will be followed by a Q and A with John Hennegan and other special guests from the movie, including trainer Dale Romans. Discussion to be moderated by Churchill Downs' Joe Kristufek. Available for purchase to General Admission and Panel Passholders. A limited number will be included with your VIP Pass, while supplies last.
“The movie is a time capsule,” Hennegan reflected. “If we would have done this a hundred more times, we could not have picked a better year than we did. There is a statue of one of the horses we followed in front of Churchill Downs. Talk about odds in horse racing - and what are the odds of that?”
