“The First Saturday in May,” an independent film produced and directed by the Hennegan Brothers, follows the plight of six diverse trainers and their colts — including the mighty Barbaro — as they make their way toward the 2006 Kentucky Derby. It provides a fascinating and compelling behind-the-scenes look at the dedicated men and women who make the “sport of kings” tick with footage from Hot Springs in Arkansas to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates…and several racetracks in between.
The Hennegan Brothers are donating 25 percent of box office revenues from Truly Indie theaters, as well as a portion of the revenues generated when the film is eventually released on DVD, to the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, which raises and distributes funding for research beneficial to horses.
