What a treat to be able to photograph this horse. You took good advantage of the trip and produced a great portrait.

Every year during Derby week they make the announcement of the new honorees for the Thoroughbred Hall of Fame. This year's inductee is....drum roll please... American Pharaoh!
I traveled to Louisville in 2015 for Pharaoh's homecoming after he became the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years and I was fortunate to get this shot of him in the paddock. A beautiful and powerful animal with personality who loved the attention of the crowd that day.
