$Westpoint Stables Dream Rush on her way to Victory in the Grade I Darley Test Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. Eibar Coa had her on the lead from gate to wire while setting all of the fractions and nobody was near her at the finish.$

$Eibar Coa aboard Take D'Tour holds off the late charge of Ginger Punch and David Flores in the 39th running of the Ogden Phipps Handicap at Belmont Park on June 16, 2007. Take D' Tour raced early with Teammate through fast fractions and was just able to hold of Ginger Punch. Take D'Tour also won the 2006 rendition of the race.$

Fleet Indian (inside) would not let Balletto by enroute to hard fought victory in the 2006 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park. This victory kept the New York Bred's perfect record in tact.

Bernardini continued his dominance in 2006 by winning the Jocky Club Gold Cup "under wraps." and defeating older horses for the first time. Eventhough Bernardini was beaten by Invasor in the Breeders Cup Classic he was awarded the Eclipse Award as the 3 year old for 2006.

As the field passed by me during 94th running of the Remsen at Aqueduct I heard the jockeys shouting and looked up to see Alan Garcia on # 3 Big Truck betting squeezed from both sides as the #5 Trust N Dustan ridden by Cornelio Velasquez moved in on him while # 1 Court Vision and Eibar Coa the eventual winners came out into Big Truck to get around horses in front of him. Big Truck took the worst of it and lost ALL monmentum as the field straighened away down the strecth. Impressively Court Vision won the race by running down Atoned and just getting by him in the shadow of the wire. Big Truck ran very well to get third after being dead last with 3/16ths of a mile to run.

Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero Jr. is on board of Belmont Stakes winner Rags to Riches early in the morning as they preapre for a work out at Saratoga. Rags was the first filly in 102 years to win the Test of Champions.

Karakorum Starlet had a "rough" trip in her first start against winners. Mike Smith reported she was a bit anxious in the gate before the race. While she ran well to finish second, it appears as though her mouth was bloodied by he pre-race behavior. She went on to win her next two races.

Your Bio

Welcome to my Website.

As you can see by my galleries I am a fan of Thoroughbred Horse Racing. I live in western New Jersey and frequently go to the New York Racing Association race tracks, Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga. I think these tracks offer the BEST horse racing on a daily basis.

I primarily shoot slide film but also shoot digital as well. I simply enjoy shooting slide film and feel that medium captures more subtle details and colors than my digital camera is capable of capturing.

I primarily use Nikon equipment and have been doing so for nearly thirty years. The first "real" camera I owned was a Nikon EM. Over the years I have moved up to the Nikon F5 as well as the Nikon D100.

I hope you enjoy the photos in my galleries. I will continue to digitize some of my older images and add new ones as time permits.

I have additional photos feel free to Send me an E-mail if there is a particular horse or photo that you're looking for, I just might have something that you would be interested in.

Thanks for looking & I hope you enjoy!
