Happiness is a day at the track

A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries                ~ Will Rogers

I grew up near Saratoga and I try to make it back for the races as often as I can.  I like horse racing, the horses are incredible, I like to wager, the track is beautiful and the atmosphere festive.  I have friends who are dead set against horse racing because of the impact on horse’s lives, can’t argue that they don’t have a case but I do enjoy the sport.

Hell in Saratoga there are even horses on the street:

Last week I went up to photograph morning workouts, the track is a little eerie that early in the morning but also oddly beautiful.

The required Krissel Angle shot

In the morning though the horses working out are the main attraction

Last but not least the grounds and the fountains are gorgeous, a very happy morning sitting around in the cool air watching the horses train and soaking in the sights.

  Finally my favorite shot of the day.

Hope you’re having a happy day my friends ~ Rev Kane
