Churchill Photoblog

It took me a while but here's the photoblog some of you have been waiting for since I went to Churchill last week.

I still haven't been able to set up the new camera properly with the new hand but I am slowly getting it done. Warning, there are a ton of pictures in this blog. I didn't expect the camera to do so well battery-wise when I was at the track.

The Batman theme song goes through my head every time I see a pic of this horse.








Photo bomb much?

I can't decide if I think classic dressage or classic Thoroughbred.

Because I have a bias towards paints, I had to take this picture.


I just love how powerful this horse looks in this picture.


NOSE!

The crowd staring at Mine That Bird.

Bird trying to get in the office.

Winston, the cutest mini ever.


I got to take a picture with Mine That Bird

The spires from the new seating area by the paddock.


I picked this horse to win race 6, I was wrong.

Derby jock Jon Court

This dude seemed like he had a lot of personality.

Breeders' Cup Classic winner Brian Hernandez Jr.



Lookn Mighty Fast, a Point Given son that won his race.

Kentucky Oaks winner Lemons Forever's little boy Forever Perfect.

Breaking from the pony.


The most famous jock around, Rosie Napravnik.



A storm rolled in about an hour and a half before first post. The track was obviously muddy.


This horse looked like a beast.

Orb has already joined the list at Churchill.

Miguel Mena sees how close he came to winning the race.

Apparently the outrider puts Baby... and his pony... in the corner.

If racing fails, she can be a hair model.

The PG son headed back to the winner's circle.

The beast looks happy to be headed back to the barn.

Even though he looked like a bug, this dude looked extremely happy to be there.
