The Keeneland September Yearling Sale began last Monday. This is the largest yearling sale in the world and draws not only the best horses in the world but also the top owners, trainers, breeders and anyone else associated with thoroughbred racing. Standing side by side in the back show barn can be heads of state from oil rich countries such as Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Triple Crown winning trainers, owners and jockeys, Amish families with young children along with hundreds of part timers, gamblers and members of the media. The early morning light has been simply awesome this week and Keeneland is in pristine condition. This is one of my favorite times to shoot in the equine industry and this year has offered up many great and unique shots. Here are just a few of the hundreds I have taken this week . Enjoy!
