Dynamix Productions produced the soundtrack for a new
documentary called "Josephine Russell Clay: Bluegrass
Queen of the Sport of Kings." Clay was married to
statesman Henry Clay's grandson, and then son. Clay
was the world's first female thoroughbred horse owner
and trainer, as well as the first woman to breed a
Kentucky Derby winner. Many great horses, such as War
Admiral, Whirlaway and Sea Biscuit, can trace their
lineage back to her stud farm.
The documentary premiered at the Kentucky Horse Park's Henry Clay exhibit in March 2005. The broadcast premiere was August 8th on KET. Misdee Wrigley, owner of Hillcroft Farm in Paris, KY narrated the presentation.
