First time ever going to a horse race, just the infield, and just some shots to remember the event by, but I didn't see any threads so I thought I'd share.

The calm before the storm...

And of course, the ladies with the floppy hats...

The 70-200 worked wonderfully being able to pick off interesting hats from a distance, and I was fairly pleased with the shots of the horses considering they were at least through the fence when not behind the crowd. First time betting at the track too, and won $6.40 so it turned out to be a pretty fun day. :cool:

Good pictures, glad you had fun. I had great seats but the location meant tough lighting conditions. Early races facing the sun then at Derby time the shadows were moving across the track.

Our seats were on the rail about where the tractor is located in the first photo. I have had disastrous results trying to post photos here so will not try again. I have hundreds to edit but here is a link to a few on Facebook: http://www.facebook.co​m …29530641.669130​.574685640 (external link)

I understand the purpose (and it is wonderful) but there is just something wrong with pink John Deere tractors.
