Whicker's World: Conflict in Kentucky

on BBC One London

"My people are more important than a few horses runnin'"
Alan Whicker finds Conflict in Kentucky

'Americans claim that the Kentucky Derby is the world's most glamorous horse-race. 100,000 watch; television and radio carry it, live, to 75 million; and, it's said, "All America stands still while the Derby's run". So I went to the Blue Grass State to observe Kentucky Colonels and Southern Belles celebrating their 93rd ritual race.'
'We found instead an explosion: a few violent and many earnest men had sworn to stop the Derby...'
