Montpelier Hunt Races

The Montpelier Hunt Races at James Madison's home in Montpelier Station, Virginia remain one of my favorite race meets of the year. You've got all the tradition and beauty of Saratoga (and the crowds!) with a bit more room to move and a more relaxed pace. What's not to like?

Morning Workouts

I can't believe I never got around to posting the photos I shot last month at Saratoga. Morning workouts at Saratoga always strike me as the best time to be at the track. Things are quiet but there's plenty going on and you don't have the press of the crowd, which is so common at Saratoga.



I rather like how this shot turned out. A slow shutter gives it that bit of movement and I set up in front of a crew erecting an event tent for the afternoon's races which would explain the startled look on the horse's face. :)
