Del Mar Races 8/2/08

The happen to go to the races on day and of course I took my camera. I love looking at the horses as they are such beautiful animals. I don't have special access so these were all taken from the regular person's point of view. They first bring the horses out to walk them around a circle and show them to the people. The owners usually congregate inside the circle and talk to the jockeys when they come out to mount the horses, before being led into the main track area to load them into the gates. Most of these photos were taken from the circle location. I wasn't able to get all of the horses names from the different times and races that I took photos.
