A bay thoroughbred in a good mood.
Happy birthday, Karakum!
A friend once described this photo as a shot of the Yugo of horses : ) Can’t really argue, but I still like the pic. / Canon 20D & 28-135mm IS USM.
I took this almost two years ago, but it’s still one of my favourites. Our horse was looking over the fence at me, which coincidentally meant he was looking west, straight into the setting sun. A cold easterly wind was blowing in a storm behind the horse. The sky looked almost black and ten minutes later we were running for cover. Not really photographic skill, more the good luck of having the camera to hand at the right moment.
21 years old and still able to produce the goods.
This thoroughbred belongs to a friend. She keeps him in such great condition, he is beautiful to look at.

Race Info / Track: Churchill Downs / Date: May 7, 2009 / Race: 5 – Maiden for Maidens, FIllies Two Years Old / Length: 4 1/2 furlongs on the dirt Horse Info / #2 Wild Forest Cat / Florida Bred Grey Filly 2 years old / By D’wildcat, out of Bon Caro by Bon Point / Owned by Lewis G. Lakin and Diane and Roger Stanton / Trained by Steven M. Asmussen / Jockey: Brian J. Hernandez / Results: finished 1st Camera: Canon Rebel XT w/ Canon 75-300mm lens / as is, from the camera, just cropped in photoshop Weather: Very cloudy… track was a mess until Race 6 when it was upgraded to “good.” Panning shot of the winner of Race 5. Loved how I caught the jockey biting his lip. For anyone who knows me, you know I do that while riding, too. Bad habits die hard. Once I managed to bite down over a jump on my old pony in a riding lesson and I nearly bit through my tongue! I am passionate about all horses, but have always had a dream to own and train my own racehorses someday. It probably won’t happen until I retire, if it does happen, but that’s the fun thing about dreams… you can have them even if they aren’t likely to happen. Although, I have been trying to get a plan together for getting friends together after college graduation to go in and buy a share of a racehorse with my boyfriend and I… so maybe it’ll happen sooner than I think :0) Thanks for your views and comments friends! My first attempt at horse racing photography. Enjoy! ♥ Louisville, Kentucky
Can’t seem to find my program from this raceday. I’ll dig it out at some point and update this with info about the horse & jockey. Canon Rebel XT w/ Canon 75-300mm lens Churchill Downs Louisville, KY
