I know they spent a lot of time on Johnny Campo. I think it was the Pleasant Colony year, which would be 1981, but I'm not sure. Isn't it more at Aqueduct than Belmont?

I haven't seen it in a few years but it's definitely fun to watch. It was made by Frederick Wiseman, who is considered one of the premier documentary filmmakers of the past century.
