Product Description

The Kentucky Derby... the history, the mystery, the magic. It is the traditon 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. With hardboot trainers and hard-riding jockeys carrying the hopes and colors from the mightiest racing families or the dreams of a single-horse stable, the Derby equalizes all contenders in the Run for the Roses, chasing the gold and glory that can go to just one winner who proves the swiftest and strongest on this single most important day. 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. 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 the immortal Secretariat. This comprehensive collection of archival Derby footage and photography brought together for the first time is the ultimate officially licensed Kentucky Derby DVD.

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

By	Eleanor Burke "bowlofflowers" (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Kentucky Derby Greatest Moments DVD, January 13, 2009

By	Patrick M. Premo - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

During a time of very few horse racing DVDs, this item is a real gem. It features wonderful footage of past and present Kentucky Derbies - Triple Crown champions, fan favorites, upsets, etc. Citation, Secretariat, Barbaro, Iron Leige -- they are all here. The stories behind the races are brief and to-the-point; they don't overshadow the action. If you love Thoroughbred horse racing, this DVD is for you.
