One of the best things to do Kentucky Derby week is just wander the backside before sunrise and try to find those moments where the humans and the horses are doing their thing. It is peaceful and the chaos of Dawn at the Downs hasn't quite hit yet. #horseracing @churchilldowns.bsky.social

The grind is real for jockeys. This is from a story on Axel Concepcion when he still had less than 40 wins and was an up and coming apprentice, sweating it out and exercising in sweat room at Laurel. You can see the full video here - vimeo.com/831894419 #horseracing #skyracing #sportofkings

Took a couple days off to strategize. What do we think @bsky.app needs to do to keep this rolling? We want a platform to truly reach out and connect with racing fans and this seems like a good spot, but it seems to have stalled a bit. What next? #horseracing #racingsky #sportofkings

There are tons of pretty places in racing, but Keeneland in the fall is pretty special. Flashback to Authentic and his @breederscup.bsky.social Classic win there. #horseracing #racingsky #sportofkings #photography

If you have ever wondered. Here we have artist Robert Clark's rendering of @tsudd71.bsky.social original photo of Seize The Grey winning the Preakness and we have the original and how it was used in print. Interesting to see it all in different forms. #horseracing #skyracing #sportofkings

Those lazy days of summer. If you have never been, racing at Timonium at the Maryland State Fair is pretty fun. Who has the best "Fair Racing"? Always heard the Neshoba County Fair is the best. #horseracing #sportofkings #racingsky

It's cold outside. I want to be sitting at the Oklahoma Training Track at Saratoga as the sun peaks over the trees and throws otherworldly light all over the place and turns morning workouts into a photographer's dreamland. #photography #horseracing #skyracing #sportofkings

Everyone has their favorite track and, honestly, they don't race late enough in the day to get this view of Del Mar, but what a view. Where the surf meets the turf. #horseracing #Sportofkings #racingsky

It seems like ages ago that Mystik Dan won the #KentuckyDerby @churchilldowns.bsky.social What a crazy long year 2024 has been. The plan for the @kennymcpeek.bsky.social trainee is to return next year and win some big races. Always good to see 3yo Classic winners race at 4. #horseracing #racingsky

Here's to all those backstretch workers who are up and at work, even on a holiday, at 4am and 5am, and taking care of the animals that make this sport great. They are the backbone of #horseracing Without their daily sacrifices in the wind, rain, cold, and snow, there is no sport.

Bob Baffert back in the paddock, and the winner's circle, @churchilldowns.bsky.social Sharing a laugh with D. Wayne and eaking out a photo finish for the win. Barnes looked green and fast. Who knows? Still got a meandering win. Photos by Max Sharp/ESW #horseracing #racingsky #sportofkings

When you can get this close to the racing surface, you can make these kinds of images. It's crazy to have the optical illusion that they are coming right at you. Also, the ground shake as they pass is for real. #horseracing #racingsky #photography #sportofkings

This photo of trainer Brittany Russell is an example of a portrait that is more than just a headshot. Shooting for Trainer Mag, they always need a cover and a double truck lead. She was standing there watching and just asked for her to pose for a second. Waited for a horse. This was the result.

The last post was about one racing giant...and here is another. King T. Leatherbury. Saddled his first horse in 1959. Brought home 6,508 winners, putting him in 4th place All-Time. Ben's Cat was his only million-dollar earner. #horseracing #racingsky #sportofKings

It was fun to see D. Wayne Lukas have a "resurgence" at 88/89 years old. What he did with Seize The Grey was kind of amazing for the racing world. He got three graded stakes wins for the son of Arrogate and for the 2570 owners from MyRacehorse. #horseracing #racingsky #sportofkings

If you ever talk to a #horseracing photographer, there is one bonus that can pop up in a photo at the right time and it makes for an interesting additional element - the reflection from the mirror at the finish can be a stunning surprise when it hits, like it did here. #skyracing #sportofkings
