First Saturday In May

First Saturday In May Synopsis

Though the Kentucky Derby only lasts two heart-pounding minutes, preparation for the annual event takes years. In this documentary, fraternal filmmakers the Hennegan brothers follow six trainers on their way to the 2006 event. The Hennegans traveled 150,000 miles and filmed 500 hours of footage in their quest to chronicle the road to this epic race in the first Saturday in May.
