Last September we photographed Travers at Saratoga, one of the lead up horse races to the Derby. We'd never been to a horse race before--our first time out there, having press passes that got you right up along the rails was pretty awesome. This is the jockey that won the Kentucky Derby last year! We had a lot of comments from the regular horserace photogs with their big rigs, but by the end of the day we had made some brothers-in-arms (it was hot!!) earned a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T and we certainly learned a few things. I can still hear the thundering and smell the horses when I look at these pictures again.
Check "A Day at the Races" out in the August issue of Everyday with Rachel Ray or on our tearsheets page. Thanks to Gina, Rachel, and the ladies in the photo department for a great assignment.
