Murder at the Derby

This is an intriguing drama that includes the back story of unresolved family tensions and the history of that family dynasty in the horse breeding and racing industry. Hats off to Kate Watson, the fearless and self assured manager of the breeding and training facility. She is gracious, commanding, and totally in control of her character and this daunting business. Notable performances by her brother and mother convince us that family and business don't always align without struggle. Set in beautiful Kentucky, the sweeping images of genteel country life and the horses that dominate that landscape are wonderful.
