famous jockeys, horses and their trainers have been taken in the paddock. Everyone is unguarded and natural as they prepare for their races there. Remember that horses have right of way.
Experiment with your angles. Take photos hum ground level at the rail or from above using a stepladder or your bumper. Ideally you want to capture the riders while they are at the highest level of their jump or on the downside of the fence.
Most race meets have about seven races. Several will be flat races (no jumping) the rest are hurdle and timber.
Many of the race meets have pre-race activities like terrier racing, carriage parades, hat and tailgate contests. There are often pony races, too. Use these as a good place to warm up your eye. The little guys are fast and very exciting to watch and shoot, plus you may be taking pictures of future Hall of Fame jockeys.
