Heavily edited down from 15+ hours of programming. May 6, 1995 - one of the most glorious sunny days in Kentucky Derby history, Louisville, Ky. This is an enormous block of commercials during telecast on WHAS/ABC with selectively edited coverage bits to provide context. The audio/video quality isn't ideal, and this is no substitute for the original. No infringement intended; posted solely for historical interest. All rights reserved to WHAS, its parent companies, ABC, Churchill Downs & advertisers.
Tape stutters a bit at start but stablizes after a minute or so.
