We headed to Churchill Downs at 4:30am this morning for warm up day. It rained all morning and afternoon in Louisville, eventually it turned into a downpour but it's better to get the rain out of the way on warm up day than on the race days.
It got quite muddy but because we arrived at the backside when it was still pitch black out, I wanted to take advantage of the spectacular lighting on the track with the blowing rain. Super excited to day one of the races tomorrow. It will be long day but I can't wait to capture more in the pitch black darkness, it creates for stunning shadow and highlight separation.
Rider is Nick Bush from Lexington, Kentucky.
