Derby week begins

Today Derby week officially began for me. Each of the last 5 or 6 years I have come to Louisville the Saturday before Derby to shoot the Derby Trial (won this year by Record with Rafael Bejarano up) and then proceeded to get up each morning to photograph the Derby horse’s workout. Problem is this happens starting around 5:00 a.m. and I am no morning person. I guess I should be happy to start on the Saturday before Derby since it is an afternoon race. The early mornings start tomorrow, and the forecast is for cool weather and rain. Great.
