For many at Churchill Downs during Derby Week, it’s business as usual. I stumble into a young and candid local trainer who has Midnight Legacy in Race 3. He was gold.
Oh Rosie, Don’t You Do That To The Boys
I showed up at the backstretch for the Rosie Napranvik press conference. I’ve been following her career since she regularly rewarded bettors at the Maryland tracks. Everyone back home wishes her well on this milestone. But since other media outlets covered the entire presser, I found others to talk to.
Jeff Krulik is the Washington, DC-based award-winning filmmaker who in 1986, with collaborator John Heyn, took a camera to the parking lot of a Judas Priest concert arena -- the result was the cult sensation, Heavy Metal Parking Lot. Krulik's rapport with his subjects yields some of the best verite documentaries you'll see -- I Created Lancelot Link, Ernest Borgnine on the Bus, Obsessed with Jews, Hitler's Hat. His current projects include Heavy Metal Picnic, about one of the most raucus field parties ever, and Led Zeppelin Played Here, about an apocraphyl Led Zep concert in a Maryland gymnasium on the night of Richard Nixon's inauguration.
