Golden Gate Fields Photo Day

Golden Gate Fields is hosting another photo day coming up.  There will be multiple events this year.  I attended this event last year and had a ton of fun.  There is a lot of walking around and the weather changes from morning to afternoon, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to hike around a good bit.

The morning portion is an orientation and a chance to shoot the morning workouts, then there was a break from about 10:30 to 1:00 when the real tour started.  We were finished by about 3:30.

 

Note that this event is hosted by the track.  TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED FROM THE TRACK. THEY USUALLY SELL OUT, SO BUY YOUR TICKETS ASAP. THE COST IS $27.95 (INCLUDING FEES)

 

Purchase your all-access ticket here.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether you're a pro or an amatuer, don't miss your chance to snap photos of the morning workouts, see the horses up-close, and get an all-access pass to Golden Gate Fields.

 

The All-Access Photo Day Package begins with coffee and orientation between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. at the historic Willie Shoemaker Winner’s Circle. Dine on a buffet breakfast, snap photos of morning workouts, and meet jockeys, trainers, and horses. Finally, gain exclusive access to snap photos in the paddock, shoot the horses as they break from the gate, and more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The All-Access Photo Day Package includes admission and program for one, buffet breakfast, and a press credential to access morning workouts, special behind the scenes photo opportunities and the races.

    Apparently my credit card information got messed up and I have not got a ticket for Saturday. Sorry for not seeing this before now. I will sign up for another one later and make sure I get a confirmation before RSVPing.

    This event is SOLD OUT for April 27. If you did not purchase your ticket already, you are out of luck. Hurry and get your ticket for the May 25 event before that sells out too.

    I am new to this club.
    I would love to join the meeting since it will be my first time, but I will be out of town.
    If the schedule changes, I will definitely go to the meeting.
