Emerald Downs opening day!
Well I made it out for Emerald Downs racetrack's opening day. I was covering the event for photojornalism and since its been a long time since I've been to the track. I got one of the free fleece blankets they were giving away, enjoyed the horses ... I even had my caricature drawn, hey it was free, why not!
Thoroughbred horses are beautiful animals and I enjoyed having a chance to try my lens in the challenging situation of the night races. Heres a few of the shots I came away with.
All and all it was a fun time. I plan on going back sometime this summer for the day races that go on during the weekend. Maybe I'll even pick horses that win next time ;)
