The First Saturday in May


The fashion set has long taken inspiration from equestrian sports, from the ubiquitous boots-tucked-into-pants trend (adopted from the breeches and riding boots of traditional hunting dress) to the moniker of one of the more lucrative, and recognizable, brands in fashion history (perhaps you've heard of Polo Ralph Lauren?). Clothes horses and lovers of horses can all get into a new documentary about the most exciting event in the equestrian world, the Kentucky Derby. "The First Saturday in May" (named for the weekend each year when the thoroughbred stakes race is run) is an independent film written, directed, and produced by Brad and John Hennegan. see www.thefirstsaturdayinmay.com.
