Cabin fever. Derby fever. Spring fever. Call it what you want. The gaggle of racing photographers had it in spades when they all flocked to Aqueduct for the first Saturday in March. The whole gang was present and accounted for and we shot the Aqueduct inner dirt with enthusiasm in our eyes and roses in our minds.

I Want Revenge and Jockeys star Joe Talamo won by over 8 lengths, thus capturing the imagination of many Bloggers and columnists. Captured a little gas money for me, too. I managed to hit the Gotham trifecta :^)
Did you watch the race? What did you think? Who is on the top of your Derby list?

lens envy!!!
Nice shots! Is that Revenge’s tongue hanging out?
I think it is :^)
Lori- I’m proud to finally have a lens that is the object of someone’s envy :^)
Funder- Yes, that’s his tongue!
Thanks for looking and I’m glad you liked the photos.
As always, loved the photos as well as your writing.
I’m going to go ahead and say that I like …..no, I LOVE The Pamplemousse.
Dunkirk would be my other choice.
haha great shot of you by budmeister.
haha IWR/Talamo coming East was the angle to play. or at least ONE of three.
just found your blog – i love your photos on flickr, hope you don;t mind if i add you to my bloglist?
Thanks so much for reading the blog and for keeping up with my Flickr photos. And please add away! I linked you as well- great blog!
Great photos! and a great horse. Even so I am betting on The Pamplemousse for the K Derby.
I like the ‘Mousse, too :^) Not sure if he’ll be Derby material, but I certainly like him. I’d love to see him on the turf.
That is like a amazing shot of Joe Talamo. He is SOOOOO HOTT! <33
