USA | Run time: 90 min.

The Kentucky Derby is known as 'the most exciting two minutes in sports”. Just to get a horse to the gate in the world’s most prestigious race defies the odds. The Hennegan Brother’s involving and unexpectedly moving film follows the lives of the teams of people, and their extended families, that train horses for glory. Focusing on the lead up to the 2006 Derby, complex portraits are drawn of six organizations that range from the sure things to the scrappy underdogs, and you are taken into the driven world of professional horse racing.
