The whole strength of the movie, for me, was showing how all these different people - trainer for royalty, ex-Olympian equestrian, trainer coming back from paralysis, small-time guy in New York, etc - they each get a horse with a chance in their barns. That's luck right there, and you can see that all of them know it and are pretty amazed they have been dealt a chance. They also know all the training skill in the world still has to combine with fate and luck to get to the Derby. And Barbaro showed that even winning the Derby doesn't take away being subject to the nightmares fate can dish out. I got emotional several places in the movie! <g> Whether you like these trainers or horses or not. Doesn't matter. Watching Frank Amonte, with his dreams of his own stable, talking about giving his children more than he had, giving his daughter riding lessons even though they were too expensive ... watching that all come to naught in a few missteps by A of Troy - you could see it in his face everything that meant to him, his future, his business, his family and his daughter's riding lessons, etc. Geesh, you had to feel for the guy!

Not showing yet in the UK-but at leat i've seen it 3 times already.
Looks like it's playing to audiences that vary from completely sold out (New York) to virtually empty (Boston)- 3 people-2 friends of mine and 1 other person.

Tell Your Neighbors, Tell Your Friends, Tell Your Mom..
Saw "First Saturday in May" today in NY, and it's just a wonderful movie. You'll laugh and cry. Anyone that sees this movie and does not get the racing bug is dead. One of the brothers was there to answer questions, and he said that word of mouth is key to broader exposure for the film. The more people in the seats during these limited runs, the more chances that others will pick up distribution.
Anyway, see it or get the DVD, you'll be knocked out. There was one other DT'er in the audience, Jms62 I think... if that's not correct then please jump in. I/L

The first Saturday in May
Does anyone know how this movie will be available? It is not playing in Florida ANYWHERE. Will it be available on DVD or on the Sundance channel soon?

Received an email a couple minutes ago saying the movie's run here in DC would be over tonight. Thusly, I am eschewing a solid lung opening run to see the 7:20 showing.

Wow, seems like there's a few DT'ers in DC!! I'm from there, lived there for 20 some-years, but now (VERY happily) live on my farm in Ohio. I emailed to see if I could get Overnight Shipping on the DVD, so we could watch it Derby Day. Plus I want to buy one of the movie posters. Haven't heard anything back yet.

For anyone in Arizona, especially around the Tucson area, we are still viewing the film on Monday on campus. Brad will be here for a Q&A session after the film, too, plus you get a 2008 Derby Glass with the $5 admission.
Not sure if there are any DT'ers on here, but if you can make it it is going to be cool.
