Scenes from a Racetrack

Some photos from Delaware Park on Wednesday. The horse above reminded me a bit of Secretariat.

They have a really beautiful paddock area there.

Pony Races

After the terrier races and carriages we watched the large and small pony races. Some people were there to win with pony sized Thoroughbreds and real racing saddles, and some were there to have fun. I really liked watching the small ponies, they came in all colors: pinto, palomino, appaloosa, buckskins, etc.. I think those kids are very brave to ride in these races and I really enjoyed photographing the activities in the paddock.


Nice little palomino pony butt:)


You look this way, I'll look the other.


Rider's up!


Call to the post.


Post parade.


Here they come, down the stretch!




Check back tomorrow from some photos from the horse races!
