The Horse Racing Experience

By Dave Black daveblackpho

Thoroughbreds is a beautiful collection of horse racing photographs by professional sports photographer, Dave Black. Filled with pictures from a decade of his magazine assignments, this documentary and action imagery is brilliantly illustrated in this 160 page coffee table book.
Loaded with double-page spreads and Dave's personal commentary, chapters follow the begining for the yearlings on the horse farms of Lexington, then moves to the pre-dawn training, fan fashion, jockeys, and finaly breathtaking horse racing action on America's premier race courses, including Churchill Downs and 10 Kentucky Derbys. A must collector's book for anyone who loves horses, photography, and the Thoroughbred horse racing experience.
