First Derby

Well I was blessed to be able to attend my first Kentucky Derby!  It was an amazing experience.  A friend of ours invited me to go and watch the derby from the backside of the track, with the trainers, jockeys, exercise riders, and a bunch of other people that have something to do with horses.  I myself, know nothing of horses, and the last time I even rode a horse was in Mexico in 2001!

But it was fantastic meeting all the people learning the different roles they have, and their association with racing, the Derby, and the industry.  Besides, I had track side seats with my camera to one of the most famous sporting events in the world!  I'm looking forward to going again next year!

So here are a few of my shots, to include the world famous Derby hats.  I hope you enjoy them, and if you'd like to buy a print, you can follow the link to our website.  The password for this event is DERBY.
