Editorial Reviews

The Kentucky Derby has been run since 1875, more than 130 times without interruption - well into a second century and still counting with a heritage that carries a tale for every triumph. It is the tradition of the Twin Spires and mint juleps on the first Saturday in May - where the sun shines bright on clubhouse celebrities, infield revelers, and full-fledged Kentucky Colonels amidst a spectacle of pageantry and tradition from the legendary Churchill Downs. These are the magical memories of the world's most legendary horse race, the stories we most remember and cherish - the landmarks along a landscape of Thoroughbred excellence... these are the Kentucky Derby's Greatest Moments. From the fighting finish of 1933 to the inspiring triumph of the beloved Barbaro, this signature video features the most memorable moments of the Kentucky Derby. Witness the time-honored performances from the iconic names in racing history, like War Admiral, Citation, Affirmed, and a special tribute to the im

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but I want more, February 1, 2009

This review is from: Kentucky Derby Greatest Moments (DVD)

I am a big racing fan and so seeing footage of the Kentucky Derby with Citation winning, Whirlaway, Count Fleet, Swaps with Nashua, Seattle Slew, Native Dancer lose his only race - these were great to see and collect. But I do wish that more of the footage from the 1950's and 1960's would become available. I know that film was hard to protect over the years but isn't there more out there?

This edition was divided into catagories that flowed very well. But I wouldn't even need that really. And I would hope that there would also be a DVD on the Preakness and Belmont. A collection of the other big races that have a long,glorious tradition the 'Handicap' Triple Crown, The Triple Tiara for 3 year old fillies, Turf racing through the last 100 years or more.

Moonlight Press Video did a very good job and I hope they take on some of the other great Racing Moments

2.0 out of 5 stars FIRST SATURDAY IN MAY, August 12, 2009

This review is from: Kentucky Derby Greatest Moments (DVD)

I have quite an extensive collection of thoroughbred horse race DVD's and by far this is my least favorite of all. If your looking for black and white grainy film clips of races this is for you, otherwise I'd stick to the DVD; First Saturday in May, On The Muscle, or Barbaro a Nations Horse. The best part of this video is the box, since most fans already know the history of racing and who won what. I expected more and would return it if it were not a DVD which is non-returnable. Thank you.
