Deadline # 5 with Calixto Juarez in the saddle .

For best resolution view in original
The paddock area at Delaware Park is really a lovely setting , flowers and mature shade trees.
The horses parade around prior to the race so the spectators can see the horses first hand if they desire.
The number 5 is Deadline with Jockey Calixto Juarez in the saddle .
My daugher and her husband in the orange hat which I could not sqeeze in are part owners of this lovely race horse.
Tim in the striped shirt owns the other half of Deadline.
There horses are based at Pimlico Race track Maryland .
Krissy husband Joe ,orange hat is the trainer for there stable and Krissy is partner and exercise rider for her stable of horses and other stables at the track.
As you can see , horses are beautiful animals but must be photograped at the right moment.


I went to the Delaware Park yesterday and was adjusting camera settings and was stopped and told I could not bring a camera into the race track with out permission from the CEO of the Delaware Park for security reasons.
I was shocked ,for they will take your money without question.
I guess I will be arrested in the near future if I can not get permission to photograph the lovely horses and colorful jockeys.
Thanks for stopping by
Nestor

Great shot leading to the track. Nice exposure. v
I never was harassed at GGF or Bay Meadows for bringing a camera (early 80s) to shoot my mare's son running. Even got into the winners circle on one occasion during fair meeting.

Fine shot, Nestor. The restriction on using a camera at the track seems over the top. Good luck ~V~

This is a terrific image, Nestor. You caught the intensity on everyone's face, especially your son-in-law's. The horse if beautiful, and one wonders what is going through its mind too. By the way, I wonder what the so-called security reason was really all about. Vote

Would make an excellent series "Nestor behind bars..."

See, that really annoys me. Why don't they ask everyone to hand their mobile phones in with 2 megapixel cameras attached?!

I am glad you have captured such spectacular images. He is a beauty, your daughter and her husband have chosen well. Beautiful coat. Great photo Nestor. HUGE VOTE!

The whole image is so colorful, Nestor. Read your caption and it would be a shame that you're forbidden to take pictures the next time. The racing horse is a magnificient looking animal ~V~
