Camera Critters 30
I took this photo while we were in Ohio. We were offered press credentials for the races at Northfield Park and were allowed to be right at the track's edge and in the winner's circle. Really cool. We had never been to a horse race before, so it was interesting to try and figure out the program. I only lasted four races, then my energy was gone, so we went back to the hotel.

Tu joues aux courses ???
I love the trotting rhythm these horses maintain. We often see a sulky on the street in our nearest large town. The horse doesn't seem to notice the traffic.
Wow, that looks like fun!
I have never seen horseraces like this other than on TV. I think that it must be exciting to be there and take photos like yours!
You got a great shot! Lucky you getting so close.
Very nice!
Getchen: Neat photo from the track, a lot of excitement for certain.
Excellent action shot! Thanks so much for stopping by! :)
Great photo!

I love harness racing. Your photos brought back some great memories. Thanks!
what a beautiful horse! yours is more wonderful...
Great shot! :-)
We had a racetrack near us that has horse races like that. I wonder how heavy that little cart is..Probably not very as it would make the horse be able to run faster..
Hi Gretchen, great photo of the horse and driver. I've never been to a harness race but I bet it's exciting to see them close up!
A good close shot!
It must have been a thrilling experience.
Hi Gretchen,
A bit off topic.
You made me cry today and I want to thank you for that. I'm not usually a sappy person as you may be able to tell from reading my blog, but that poem was perfect.
I also want to invite you a tag meme that I was tagged for today. Just visit my blog again, I Meme It and read the posting titled "7 Bookish Things". I hope you can play along! Have some fun!
Safe Travels,
Nicole
