This new KET production airs Monday, March 8 at 8/7 p.m. CT on KET as part of TeleFund 2010.<o:p></o:p> Thoroughbred opens at Aqueduct’s “backside,” where viewers are introduced to an eclectic community of grooms, jockeys, trainers and owners as they prepare for the races. These charismatic characters are joined by gamblers, breeders and journalists, who give viewers a glimpse into the fascinating, intense and sometimes heartbreaking world of Thoroughbred racing. The excitement at Aqueduct reaches a fever-pitch with a thrilling come-from-behind win for I Want Revenge at the 2009 Wood Memorial Stakes.<o:p></o:p> The program also travels to the serene quiet and beauty of the picturesque Three Chimneys Farm, located in the heart of the <st1:place w:st="on">Bluegrass</st1:place>, where Preakness and Belmont winner Point Given is introduced to Cerise, a speedy brown mare who meets with breeder Arthur Hancock’s approval. Throughout the program, Hancock discusses his storied family history of breeding and racing Thoroughbreds, including Kentucky Derby winner Sunday Silence.<o:p></o:p> Then, viewers are transported to the Arabian desert, where the origins of the Thoroughbred are explored and one of the industry’s titans –– Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai –– oversees extravagant stables and the richest series of horse races in the world. The program accompanies Sheikh Mohammad back to <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kentucky</st1:place></st1:state> to Keeneland’s September yearling sales, where no one flinches as the bidding zips into the millions at an astonishing pace.<o:p></o:p> "The film takes you into the hidden world of the Thoroughbred –– the places, the people, the history and culture of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place></st1:state>’s oldest sport,” says Wagner. “Although it focuses on the year of racing, breeding and sales leading up to the 2009 Kentucky Derby, our hope is that we've created a timeless film, as relevant in ten years as it is today." <o:p></o:p> Thoroughbred culminates at Churchill Downs for the 2009 Kentucky Derby. During the preparations and celebrations of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Derby</st1:city></st1:place></st1:state> week, owners share their hopes and disappointments, and horses seem to revel in the spotlight as everything comes down to who stands in the winner’s circle.<o:p></o:p>       As the excitement of the <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Derby</st1:city></st1:place></st1:state> passes, the program ends with a new beginning and new potential: the birth and wobbly first steps of Cerise’s foal.<o:p></o:p> “Thoroughbred is the first production funded by KET's Endowment for Kentucky Productions, which was created to promote the production of educational, cultural and historical programs about <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kentucky</st1:place></st1:state>,” says Craig Cornwell, executive producer of the program. “There is no more fitting first story for this endowment than the story of the Thoroughbred.”<o:p></o:p> Thoroughbred is a KET production, produced and directed by Wagner.

About the KET Endowment for Kentucky Productions Thoroughbred is the first program produced through KET’s Endowment for Kentucky Productions. The Endowment was launched in 2004 with a $500,000 challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The Endowment reached its original goal in 2007, and, in keeping with the NEH’s aim of preserving local stories, Thoroughbred was at this time announced as the first production to be funded through the Endowment. The proceeds from this $2.25 million endowment will continue to provide KET with secure funding for a variety of future educational, biographical, cultural, historical, and public affairs programs about Kentucky. About producer/director Paul Wagner Paul Wagner is an Academy Award-winning, veteran filmmaker with a 30-plus film portfolio spanning the gamut from documentaries to narrative forms. Wagner previously produced the Signature series profile on George C. Wolfe for KET. That program was broadcast nationally by PBS and garnered Program of the Year honors from the National Educational Television Association. <o:p></o:p> 09 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT Kentucky Life features Chinese orchestra, haunted hospital, Kentucky-built fire trucks http://www.ket.org/pressroom/2010/06/kkyli_001513.html <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /> <meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /> <link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\AStroud\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_filelist.xml" /><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceType"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PlaceName"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="State"></o:smarttagtype><style type="text/css">  </style> On the next Kentucky Life, viewers experience the sounds of the Far East, travel to <st1:city w:st="on">Wickliffe</st1:city>, visit one of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s “most haunted” buildings and learn how Wynn Fire Equipment builds life-saving fire engines.
